Narcolepsy type 2

Hi everyone, I recently got diagnosed with narcolepsy type 2. They immediately put me on medication and initially I was doing fine but now I am kind of struggling (Im on modafinil).

I had some questions for anyone that might be able to ease my mind on all of this.

• increased heart rate? Is that normal, I kinda feel like im always having a panic attack and feel super winded all the time
• what is the best time to take the medication? I work early mornings so I usually take it at 6:30am but on weekends I like to sleep in.
• more vivid dreams? Anyone have the same experience?

This last one is more for the girls - have you guys noticed a change in your cycle? While mine isn’t always normal I feel like I’m currently waiting for my period to come and am genuinely scared.

Please help!!!
