I'm not sure why a doctor would prescribe Valium to someone with narcolepsy - stimulants like Adderall can often leave someone feeling strung out, burnt out, and even more tired in the long run... versus something like Provigil (aka modafinil) which is non-narcotic and promotes awareness and wakefulness.
Modafinil was approved by the FDA in December 1998. PRESCRIBED FOR: Modafinil is used to promote wakefulness in patients with excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea (in addition to treatment of the underlying obstruction), and shift work sleep disorder.RUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Modafinil is an oral drug that is used for improving wakefulness in patients with excessive sleepiness.
