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.
