Recently dx with that myself however at 2nd opinon, dx with narclopsy due to HLA gene and prior sleep study done incorrectly. You are not to take antidepressannts for several days prior to the test as these meds interfere with Rem sleep testing.

I was taking Provigil...but had to double the normal amount and it still was not effective. I had to take short term disability...as I fall asleep while talking with people on the phone. I still will fall asleep anytime I sit down to relax. I have had these symptoms for the past five years.

What are they doing to confirm diagnois and treatment for you?
