I was wondering if you still hung around this board, since you're the only other person around here with narcolepsy that I know of. Strattera is a powerful anti-cataplectic, so it's good for sleep paralysis and hypnagogic/hypnopompic hallucinations, the subsidiary symptoms of narcolepsy. It does make me feel more awake. I do feel more motivated, too, overall a feeling of emotional activation. It doesn't feel anything like a stimulant.
