I totally disagree with your comment.

Ritalin saved my life.

I'm a narcoleptic and Ritalin has worked for me for the last 8 years with no change in dosage. I tried the Provigil and I had more health concerns/problems then when I was on Ritalin plus I got the stoopids when I was on it. I've tried the Xyrem but I had more incidences of sleep paralysis. Different drugs work for different people. I can't say more without this being a rant/rave posting...
