Please man, do NOT mention Strattera. If you replace your Desoxyn with this, your narcolepsy will be essentially untreated. The only NE reuptake inhibitor that works for sleepiness is protryptiline (Vivactil), and, although it has perhaps the coolest trade name of any drug (sounds like a dinosaur and a patent medicine at the same time), has too strong a side-effect profile for most people.
If Provigil had no effect, Strattera will have less than no effect. Do you think you could augment your Desoxyn with high doses of Cylert? It might have no effect, but it might help; the army uses it to force pilots to stay up. When I took 75mg 2x/day, I had to use Seroquel or I did not sleep at all. If you took like 225mg/day (this is perfectly safe with liver function tests), you could get some good results IF YOU DO NOT DUMP THE DESOXYN. I mean, you could try to dump it, but I doubt you'd like the result.
