Finding the right mix
After recently being diagnosed with type 2 narcolepsy I am trying to find my right medication mix to help keep me awake during the day and motivated. Currently am on Modafinil, Ritalin and straight caffeine 2 times a day and am still having episodes of just blacking out. I would love to say that im just tired and I go to sleep but I can be in mid conversation and just like that be asleep. Still even on all of that medicine. Granted I do feel better than how I did before I started this medicine. Just makes you wonder. What can help w motivation, like I am so tired all of the time that I don't create my crafts anymore. I loved making stuff and have so much product to make stuff and I had read that Ritalin helps towards motivation. I am just not seeing that result yet.
Would love to find my right mix. I want to feel like I am living and not just alive.
Hi
. I hope you get some helpful responses from others in the community. If must be so frustrating when you want to pursue your passion, but you just can't. Here is an article about prescription treatments: https://narcolepsy.sleep-disorders.net/medications. I wonder if something else might work better for you. There are also new, promising medications in the pipeline. So please don't give up on finding somethng better. Warm wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
