Depression can make diagnosing narcolepsy difficult.
A whole lot more people have depression than narcolepsy, so most docs will try to treat depression first. What a mess. Too bad more docs arent like that. My friend was told that she wasnt tired, she was depressed, and that if she'd just cheer up she'd be less tired. Also, I found Effexor sedating, but I find most things sedating.
