Hypersomnia for over 15 years
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? Thanks. Martin

Re: Hypersomnia for over 15 years
There are other medications that may be able to help you feel more alert during the day and so you should discuss these options with you GP
