How do you know, or your neurologist know, that it's narcolepsy?
It could be sleep apnea. I got diagnosed with it after complaining of extreme sleepiness. It was borderline, but they treated it anyway. That doesn't involve drugs, just an air pressurizer machine.
It could be Restless Leg Syndrome, or a number of other things you have no clue you do. When you have arousals at night, you don't recall them; they're too short to do that. I never knew I had apnea. I'm skrony and lanky and all that!
