Subject: Narcolepsy
    My wife has had narcolepsy with accompanying cataplexy
since 1980.

    She is currently taking an ampthetamine which controls
reasonably the cataplexy but does little or nothing for
her constant sleeping urges.  Her activities lately have
been severely curtailed owing to two automobile accidents
she's experienced while falling asleep at the wheel.
    Many thanks, in advance, to anyone out there who can
give me some information on how to more effectively control
this cripling maladie or, better yet, on how to rid her of it 
entirely.
