I agree to some extent, where does narcolepsy-like symptoms from depression end and actual narcolepsy begin? Although I have never been diagnosed with depression, I am pretty certain my anxiety disorder has a neurochemical/neurological basis. Perhaps it is responsible for some of the excessive daytime sleepiness, who knows? However, at some point I guess you have to let the doctors do what they do best and come up with a diagnosis after performing the necessary studies.
With respect to your insomnia, I hear that Xyrem works very well for that for some people. Hopefully this medication will be approved for other purposes and people can get the relief they so desperately need.
