Diagnosis of Sleep Disorder
I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Hypersomnia for over 15 years and prescribed dexamphetamines. However I have recently been diagnosed with an enlarged aorta so I have been weaned off the medication. Recent sleep tests show normal results but I am now like a zombie struggling to stay awake during the day and struggling to stay asleep at night. I cannot continue with willpower alone so do you have any suggestions?

Re: Diagnosis of Sleep Disorder
You need to discuss this problem with your GP, there are other medications that could potentially help you feel more alert during the day, but only they will know if they are suitable for you.
