D. C. --

I agree with Philip -- you need to see a board-certified sleep disoders specialist (preferably one with a background in neurology), and you need to be taking some sort of medication for you EDS (excessive daytime sleepiness). You need to do this for your kids and your husband, as well as yourself.

I took Cylert for several years and had no liver problems. I got taken off of it when I moved and had to change sleep docs. Am now on Provigil and am doing better on that than on either of the other meds. I have taken (Ritalin & Cylert).

Let us know how things come out...
