Thanks for the input. My grandfather has Narcolepsy... where you just randomly drop off into sleep right? I myself have never experienced that side of it. However, he is the grandfather on my mother's side, and I seem to have the same genetic makeup of my mother more than my father (we've laughed about immaculate conception a few times). Do people often have Narcolepsy and Bipolar, or is that a case where they can be confused?

> I'm probably sounding like a broken record because I've mentioned this to several here. But many have mentioned symptoms prior to taking meds that are classical of Narcolepsy. I was diagnoses incorrectly for 4 years with depression, tried many AD's to no avail - and some made things worse. ADD and Narcolepsy are both treated with stimulants ie. Ritalin, but they are addictive and cause major high's and low's.
> I have been taking Provigil now for 6 months and have totally recovered. Though it is only FDA approved for Narcolepsy currently, it is being tested for ADD as well. I highly suggest you speak to your doctor or a neurologist about the possibility of Narcolepsy - the symptoms you described definitley make it a possibility - especially the lack of attention - no energy and definitley the sleep paralysis. There are many good sites regarding Narcolepsy - check it out.
