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.

What Medication Seems To Work The Best For The Majority Of People

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member

I take 50 mg. of Vyvanse every morning. It is pricey, but keeps me awake for up to 12 hrs. The only downside that I have is one out of four nights I may have trouble sleeping. But I've learned to… read more

Nuvigil- Will I For Sure Eventually Need To Add Medications?
A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have read many stories online of people doing well on Nuvigil for awhile, but then as time goes on having to add a "booster" medication halfway through the day. I want to know if I should expect this, or not. Has anyone been on Nuvigil for a long time with no decrease in effectiveness? Some sources also suggest taking a couple days off the medicine to curb resistance. Has anyone had experience with that?

I have taken Nuvigil & Adderall for around 12+ years now. They both work good still, but it also depends on what I'm doing that day & how active I am. Also it doesn't matter sometimes if I've taken… read more

How Do You Ensure You Get Your Medicine On Time Each Month? (CVS Caremark)
A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Three months in a row I have struggled to get my Nuvigil 200mg (60 count) rx. CVS always has it on backorder, and now my new pharmacy took 5 days to get my meds. I work full time, so I make a lot of mistakes when I am unmedicated.
Anyone with CVS caremark? What is a less stressful way to get your meds on time?
Idk if it's my state... PA only allows 2 days before the rx is out, and no auto refills. I can't keep going through this, and I know I'm not alone. :(

And on the 2 / 200mg name brand Provigil daily. What time span between doses and on the second dose is there a cut off time? Based on if you take it any later you wouldn't be able to fall asleep. Or what?

Virtual Neurologist Doctor Recommendations?
A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I feel very limited with the doctors that are "in network" and within driving distance. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good neurologist that specializes in narcolepsy that does virtual appointments?

I was told that you have to go to California or New York. There is no one near me that is a good doctor. I was diagnosed by a neurologist in NC in 1983 and since then I have just kept renewing my… read more

I Have Narcolepsy. My Medication Isn't Working Anymore.
A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was prescribed provigil 200 mg 2 x day 16 years ago. It worked great for 13 years. About 3 years ago around 2 pm my medication had wore off. So I started taking 3 tablets a day (600) mg. So I had medication for 20 days and suffered the last 10 days because I didn't think my doctor would prescribe 3 a day
Now my problem is provigil tolerance. One day it works and most days it doesn't. Has any one that has taken this for a long period had this to happen to them? Any suggestions on what I need… read more

Change your sleep routine to be the same every night. Get good nutrition, drink plenty of water, & no junk food. Find a good supplement like Dr. Schulze's Superfood, (my fav energy booster.)
