Brief Answer: Self help is the best help. Detailed Answer: Hi, It would be better if you can describe all your symptoms. I might be able to help you understand the medical problems. That being said, since you are 48 years of age, possibility of premenopause / menopause causing all the symptoms cannot be excluded. All these could be due to the low level of the estrogen. Hence it would be a good option to discuss your concerns with a gynecologist also. If there estrogen decline has no role with your symptoms, you can plan an individualized treatment from a psychologist. Should you indeed have narcolepsy, amphetamines may be tried under guidance. Awaiting your response.. Regards

Brief Answer: your problems can be solved. Detailed Answer: Hi, Now I could understand the depth of your agony. There are two steps of treatment of the narcolepsy. First thing is to get a good night sleep. the other is to keep awake in the day. Unless the first thing is achieved the second thing is not possible. Amphetamines or some other substitutes are used for day time use, and anti psychotics, anxiolytics are used for night time usage. So I advise you to consult a psychologist for diagnosis and treatment, and to have supervision of the progress of the cure. Practice yoga, meditation, etc, and try to be engaged through out the day. Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
