For Narcolepsy "So I’ve been taking the 150 mg for about five months now. At first, it seemed like it was helping me, and I didn’t get the crash with the Adderall. At this point, I’m not sure if I still feel that way. I still get excessively tired, and I am extremely moody. I don’t have any motivation at all, and I feel as though my chest is tightened around hour two, and I’m almost in a daze/fog. The depression associated with the narcolepsy seems to be getting worse. I definitely think I need to change it. I was never on Provigil/Nuvigil since I was diagnosed right when this drug came out."

For Narcolepsy "I have narcolepsy with cataplexy. I have been on Provigil and Ritalin for several years, always sleeping, however, I could function and be motivated. Started taking Provigil and Sunosi in November 2019. At first, I thought I had found the drug, after about three months, the drops came, no motivation. The best way to describe me is my eyes are open, the rest of me is asleep. No focus, all over the place."

"Initially, it worked okay. The brain fog was gone, I had energy and was not tired all day. Now it is not consistent at all. Sometimes I take it, and it does nothing. One thing I have found is it affects my mood pretty badly. I will get really agitated and angry and then end up depressed. Don't think it's worth taking if it doesn't always work and affects my mood to this extent. Wonder if I'm the only one having depressive episodes with it."
