Ritalin + narcolepsy?

I have been on Ritalin for my EDS for a while now.. I started on 5mg a day and increased by 5mg every week to the 10mg twice a day I am on now.

I am seeing my neuro in about a month.

Anyway, I haven't noticed much difference on this dose of Ritalin and was wondering if any other people with narcolepsy took it and if you do how much per day do you take?

The neurologist said that I would be able to up the dose some more if there was still not much difference.. she said up to 15mg twice a day, but an extra 5mg doesn't seem like it will make much difference?

And also, what are any of you on for cataplexy?

Thanks.
