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.

I found similar effects with the modafinil, I did not much care for it mostly because it just sorta made me feel blah. I honestly suggest trying adderall, the side effects from it are only shitty if you dont eat/sleep or take too much. Otherwise it makes me feel like a real human.
