Doctor can evaluate: Extreme tiredness by itself is not normal and needs an evaluation. A primary care doctor can look for causes such as anemia, cancer, infections, hormonal imbalances, etc... Significant anemia (not enough blood) or thyroid hormone problems are two of the many possible causes. One can write down a list of symptoms, with a brief description of each, to take to the doctor.

Are people with narcolepsy always tired or could they just have a day every week or two where they feel like they're going to collapse and sleep?

I was switched from Vyvanse to Modafinil for my narcolepsy, it's been 2 weeks and the fatigue is present still and it doesn't seem to work as well.
