Hello KT,
your description of the action of strattera is a good hint
where to search.
There must be a reason for narcolepsy and it cannot be cured by a quick dopamin release caused by a med.
A friend of mine had the same problem. He had been 67 developing
diabetes. Meds like methformin did not help. The glucose level in
blood had been 150 to 300 mg but not normal. But they gave him
a test equipment. After a year he developed narcolepsy.
I told him that he needed to stop being overweighted because he has
a big belly but he did not. I suggested that doctor should inject insulin
as a one time shot only for the reason that sugar level should come down
from 200-250 to 150 but his doctor did not and many meds gave no result.
After a year of treatment without any success doctor ordered insulin injections daily. To my astonishment narcolepsy vanished and blood sugar had been normal.
If you ever looked up articles from naturopathy about ADH you will find
suggestions like stopping sugar intake as well as stopping fast food.
The reason is that insulin and glucogen are stress hormones which may
be produced as a response to sugar in an overshooting way.
I suggest to lend a test equipment from your doctor and make a day
profile on blood sugar which means you have to measure blood sugar minimum 5 time a day before eating and 2 hours after meal.
Please measure also blood pressure in addition only for the sake to be sure that there is no second reason for trouble which has to be taken into account. High bp can cause anxiety and would also be a very good reason to change food.
I suggest also a general blood control which gives answers if cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and haematokrit are in range or not. It is a simple standard blood test which can be done by every doctor and it it gives answers if you can afford to eat meat or heated fats or if you have to stop this kind of food. ADH is a good reason and depression also for considering a radical
change in food. Heated fats and proteines from animals as well as sugar
are keeping depression alive.

Hugo
