Hello,
I have read Dr O's article on narcolepsy. This wonderful 27 yr old that I have has developed narcolepsy probably about a yr ago. He is on Cimetadine for melanomas. This was started about that time although I can't be sure exactly now. He is now on maintenance dose of Cimetadine of 800 mg TID. Could this possibly be contributing to the narcolepsy? This guy is energetic, sound, and enjoys his work.
Thanks,
aes43

If so I am unaware of how, but you could test the hypothesis by stoping a while, then starting back. Please let us know the results.
