I hate to say this but it really doesn't get much better,medications help to some degree but it is a long way from a cure.I have found that accepting my limitations and working around them helps.I suggest you try to figure out what parts of the day you have the most and the least energy,then try to create a flexible schedule around these times.Medications maybe somewhat effective but it takes time to figure out which ones do and dont work,as well as the doses.A lot of it depends on how severe your narcolepsy is,and on how long you have had it.You will never be normal and that is something you will need to accept,but if your flexible,life with narcolepsy isn't all bad.Sorry the news couldn't be cheerier.I really hope this helps,and post again if you have any questions.Good Luck!
