Did your sleep doctor give you any feedback? Narcolepsy is not like sleep apnea... it's also quite serious, as you must fall asleep at the drop of a hat; a friend/ co-worker of mine had narcolepsy and would fall asleep at her desk several times a day. Please consider getting more information, either from this doctor, and/or another doctor. Another good source (for getting medication information, would be to talk to your pharmacist)! Take care and I hope you can get help with this. Take care.
