Newly Diagnosed. Dr Started Me On Nuvigil 200mg. I Feel Horrible!

A MyNarcolepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Flint, MI

Doc says he hasn’t had such a + test in years. Says I will probably need a second med added. A few hours after taking this med I feel like I’ve been sedated: flat affect, headache, no energy(but no extreme sleep episodes). At this moment, I’m not sure if treatment is worth it.

That has not been my experience. It's not great, but there is some stimulation. One of the many challenges with narcolepsy is the medicinal part of it. Medicine will work for some but never for all. You just have to find what works for you. It took me over a decade to find the best fit (and it is just the best thus far - it's not exactly great or anything).
