Narcolepsy: I understand your distress. You deserve relief! “over the counter meds” cannot benefit narcolepsy and chronic head and neck pain. Please see your family physician for Diagnosis and Treatment Your Health is Precious!

No such item: You will not find OTC medications which can effectively treat narcolepsy, they do NOT exist. See a sleep specialist or neurologist. You may have tendency for migraine, and this too could be addressed.
