I like your Doc already!
> Narcolepsy is extremely rare, and you would know if you had it. Fewer than 150,000 people with Narcolepsy exist in the U.S.
> SLEEP APNEA + AD/HD are very common combinationsMakes sense, if the brain in oxygen starved and/or deprived, that will logically result in neuropathway alterations. (Like a continuous contruction site in Florida clogs up traffic :)
> Antidepressants are necessary for anyone with true narcolepsy anyhow, since it's not realistic to think a narcolepetic doesn't suffer from depression because of their inability to remain alert during the day.
Good point. Depression arises from the frustration of ineptness. Caution when you are dealing with sodium channel gating problems? For me SSRI caused severe halluzinations and increase in dissociation.
