ive been a smoker for about 4 years now and i was recently diagnosed with narcolepsy and was wondering how marijuana would help with narcolepsy or if it would be benificial at all to use it. please help

I'm narcoleptic, but my case is atypical. Without some kind of medication I get nothing but REM sleep, leaving me as tired as I was when I went to bed.

A little bit of marijuana along with a dose of Trazodone before bed allows me to get at least a little deep sleep, which has helped tremendously with daytime sleepiness. I used to use another prescription drug along with the Trazodone, but it left me feeling doped up until the middle of the afternoon.

I don't know what it could do for typical narcolepsy. Since it makes most people sleepy, it would seem to be contraindicated.

I also suffer from narcolepsy (I was diagnosed about 4 years ago) and have found that smoking pot at night makes me sleep much better. I usually wake up about 10 times a night, but when I'm high and go to sleep I get at least 4 hours of wonderful sleep before I start waking up again. I don't smoke every night before I go to bed, but whenever I'm particularly tired and my meds are barely keeping me awake, I toke up and go to bed and feel much better.

Maybe I should see if I can get it prescribed by a doctor....
