Follow-Up: I'm 29 years old and suffered with falling asleep for maybe 12 years now. I never mentioned it to anyone because I thought they'd think I was lazy. Turned out they did anyway,finally told a doctor about it and he sent me to the usual specialists. A tentative diagnosis was made for narcolepsy. I was prescribed Provigil, and been on it for a week now. I still fall asleep even though I'm wide awake five minutes before. The neurologist absolutly refuse's to try anything else (like something that works ) I'm starting to wonder if some doctors might be getting kickbacks or something. Of course,this is JUST a thought.
