The subtlety that is Narcolepsy treatment...

Next week I go back for a follow-up with my sleep doctor/neurologist. I have been on Nuvigil for a few months. About a month ago, he increased my dose. I am certainly awake more than I used to be, but I'm still always sleepy. I think it makes a difference, but the difference is very subtle.

That's kinda cool because I still feel like me, but at the same time, life is still difficult. I still feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything plus sleep.

The Nuvigil also works best if I have gotten a good night's sleep the night before. If not, forget about it! I'll be out like a light!

Next step is stimulants, my doc says. We'll see!
