I recently found this board. I have Idiopathic Hypersomnia. The treatment consists of trying different stimulants, but the side affects from everything I've tried are too horrible to allow me to take them. (I've had the weakest stimulant prescriptions and dosages.) This isn't totally surprising, because I've never been able to consume caffeine which is also a stimulant.

Has anybody encountered this situation and did you find any alternatives that worked for you?

I don't know what to do. I've had to reduce my work hours and I'm totally exhausted when I'm not at work.
