I grew up with a good friend of mine who had it. Everyone always thought he was some huge pothead because he had the look and he would nod off. He was dignosed earily, so it was something he always delt with. He used the medication when needed, which wasnt always. He tried to stay away from driving at night and knew when not to drive.

I think Hollywood blows the disease out of proportion. With the cases I have seen, it is more of a lethargic feeling then passing out all the time.

My friend did great on the medication, but didnt rely on it. He knew he had narcolepsy and he didnt let it inhibit him. I think that is the main thing.
