      Would like to know how other narcoleptics cope/survive.

      Treatments

      Provigil Not Working
      Non-effective, still experience symptoms as if I'm not on any medication at all.
      Ritalin Somewhat Helpful
      Taken with Concerta 54mg, is helpful however, at different times during the day, still experience drowsiness; while sitting/reading for a long period of time will fall asleep. It's what I've been taking for past 6 or 7 years, better than nothing.
      Xyrem Considering
      Concerta Working / Worked
      Taken with Ritalin same experience as with Ritalin.
