Curious if anyone here has been diagnosed with Narcolepsy? I just got my diagnosis after many years of struggling to stay awake and am wondering what to expect on the meds (xywav and wakix). I’m so excited for a new chapter and hoping it will improve my performance at work.

Im exhausted all the time. I dont fall asleep but i think i could sleep for 12+ hours a night. So excited for you !

I had no idea that my exhaustion could be narcolepsy until I met someone else who had been diagnosed. Apparently pulmonologists (and in some cases neurologists) are the ones to go to - so if you ever get the inkling to see a doctor about your exhaustion try that! I’m still waiting to get approved for my meds but can’t wait!!
