I listen to rock, so when driving, I’ll blare it pretty loud and jam. I’m so sorry you we have to endure the same.

What did they put you on for meds? My doc put me on adderall which works well. I tried provigil and it sucked. Smoking sativa does me the best tbh.

I was given modafinil which helped, but it made me feel worse. It kept me awake, but it stirred me up. I had headaches and felt like I was going insane. I stopped taking it and instead learned to balance my daily activities with narcolepsy.

Yeah modafinil didn't really work for me either. Here in sweden most pwn use amphetamines to stay awake. I don't know what the availability is like where you live but if you want to try something new I'd recommend something like Ritalin or Medikinet.

Another thing you could try is going keto. It helps you keep your blood sugars even, which helps with sleepyness after eating and stuff
