It seems like you are already doing what many of the people on this board do for their N which is take a stimulant. Does this seem to help your daytime sleepiness? I took the provigil and didn't really have any luck with it since it made me too foggy to work or drive a car and this is really why I am treating my N in the first place. I think my doctor likes it because it not as controlled as Ritalin and so he is less likely to get into trouble for prescribing it. I asked my doctor if he told the dept of motor vehicles about this diagnosis and he said no, of course not. It could be different in your state. Good luck!
