there are a lot of medication options. And something else to consider is that narcoleptics often suffer from additional issues like: restless legs syndrome, apnea, and cataplexy, which may require their own medications. I have been diagnosed with narcolepsy for over 12 years and in that time i have taken Ritalin: This did keep me awake but i had to take it 3 times a day, and I wasn't great about taking them at the exact right times. And if i didn't take them at the exact time i was supposed to, i would really feel a "crash". I decided that the ups and downs were to extreme. But many people take it and it works for them. I think it's important to learn about the options and then try one and see how it works for YOU. Everyone responds differently. Dexedrine: this worked well to keep me awake but I occasionally felt like i was buzzing and I didn't like the research that i was reading about the affects that amphetimenes can have on your body. So i looked for an alternative. Provigil: much better! This is great for me, it is not an amphetimine and I think it does a much better job of keeping me awake and stablized. I currently take a generic version that is 100% fine. Unfortunately the greedy drug manufacturing companies in the US have actually paid generic drug manufacturers NOT to make a generic of provigil, so i have to order it from Canada. The price is much better and the quality is the same, they mail the pills to me, and the customer service is fantastic.
