Seal

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Seal is physically striking—but those scars come from discoid lupus, not from tribal rituals as is rumored.

07 Dec 2013 I started taking Nuvigil early last year after being diagnosed with narcolepsy w/o cataplexy. It helped me tremedously. I had more energy, I felt like doing things and I could stay awake longer. At first, I had trouble realizing what time it was at night and I would still be going and it was after midnight. I had to make myself go to bed. That wore off after about 6 months or so. Spring of this year, I felt like the drowsiness was coming back more so my dosage was increased to 250. I have noticed my hands are a little shaky when trying to steady them. My hair does seem a little thinner. I have had an increase in mood changes. Extreme irratability, easily frustrated, extreme loss of sexual desire. I didn't realize that it could be the meds until I started reading everyone elses comments on moods. I have an appt with my dr next week. We will see if does needs to go back down or change meds. Comments are greatly appreciated!
