In reply to Dexedrine (a legit med?), posted by Kristine on August 22, 1999, at 13:50:42
Hey Kristine,
I also would classify myself as a hypersomniac, mostly due to the fact that at night my level of anxiety tends to increase, forcing me to go to sleep in an attempt to alleviate it. I've spent
the last couple of months trying to track down some herbs/amino acids/prescription drugs that
might help. I've heard about Dexedrine, but unfortunately also some of its potential side affects(feeling overdriven, nervousness...). There's a drug(Modafinil sold under the name Provigil) that was created and has been used in France for the last 10 yrs or so, which was recently approved by the FDA for the treatment of narcolepsy and EDS(excessive daytime sleepiness)its supposed to have all the benefits of Dexdedrine-like drugs with none of the side affects. I have some links with really good info that I can email you if you want to know
