Cataplexy

Cataplexy is a symptom uniquely associated with Narcolepsy, and is a sudden loss of skeletal muscle tone; it is not as common a symptom as EDS. Cataplexy may be mild and result only in sagging in specific muscle groups, such as a drooping head, sagging jaw, or buckling knees. In more severe cases, cataplectic attacks may involve sudden paralysis of all skeletal muscles with complete postural collapse that may put an individual at risk for injury from falling. Cataplectic episodes are triggered by strong emotional stimuli such as laughter, excitement, or anger. PROVIGIL does not play a role in the treatment of cataplexy.


i've attributed this to depression becuse it generally happens during certain emotions - i've gone so far as to avvoid many things that trigger emotions until I am ready for an attack.

but my head droops tremendously, jaw and so on. the knees i can't say anything about, but sometimes its so bad i am everything but immoble.
