Suggest Treatment For Narcolepsy

My doctor thinks I may have narcolepsy due to frequent exhaustion & often dozing off during conversations and twice while driving, I can t remember the name of the med he prescribed but the insurance won t pay for it so are there others (this was pug... something ) which would work as we? Will I get over this condition and how can I function if too tired to care for grandkids, and too dangerous to drive?
