#1 change doctors. Your meds aren't working. #2 You have to rig up a bar so that if you fall forward, it will stop you. If worse comes to worse, get a wheelchair and cut out the bottom, position it over the toilet, but put the front bar/desk top in place before you begin your business (brakes on).

There are medications for this problem: I believe Provigil is one, but there may be side effects, like skin reactions. Consult a doctor, and check out any medications first, at www.drugs.com See http://www.sleepfoundation.org
