What Has Your Doctor Suggested When No Medication Regimen Is Working?
A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

The only common recommended medication I have not tried is Wakix. Currently taking high doses of sunosi, nuvigil, and vyvanse daily. Seems like all the regimens work for about 2 weeks then back to feeling like I did prior to diagnosis.

Does anyone know of a good sleep medicine doctor near Baltimore. I have a great doctor, but it’s an 80 min drive from me. Baltimore would be so much closer.
