Treatment of Narcolepsy

I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety in 2017 and ever since I am on medications. I have recovered like 90% and the only issue left out is sleepiness. I am unable to focus/study. In past 3/4 years I have never woken up fresh. Even after taking modafinil I have to force myself to wake up and then at noon have to take a cup of strong coffee. And even after that I fall asleep at around 4 pm. I have taken Armod and Inspiral in the past. Inspiral was good for me. But then my psychiatrist changed it to Modafinil and its of no use. He has not clearly mentioned what actually is the issue but I just searched on Google and found out about Narcolepsy. Also I have body aches. My body is sore and stiff whenever I wake up. Change in season, stressful situations and anger make me doze off even more. Now my mood is constantly low because of this sleepiness. In the past I used to have sleep paralysis and sometimes hallucination but not anymore. Just this sleepiness and aches.

Unusual physical side effects - Dopamine

Feeling a strange sensation in my hands and body. A sudden spike of OCD activities like touching one thing again and again. My mind is running faster than usual, like if I write something I will scramble the text instead of writing it in handwriting. So much confusion. This normally happens when I used to take modafinil a year back (seldom). I am already diagnosed with too much anxiety. My mind always made me think there is something wrong with my brain.. something physical

Poor Attention Span

I am a 34 year old man suffering from OCD and Depression since the age of 19. I am taking Uvox-200 mg and Felis-S-5 mg. I am a lawyer and hence required to do a lot of reading. My attention span is very poor-not able to concentrate more than 5 minutes on reading. My Psychiatrist told me to try Modalert (Modafinil) which phenomenally increased my attention span in reading. But within a few days my Psychiatrist told me to discontinue it. Would it be safe to take the Modalert on regular basis?
