Loss of appetite with sleep disorder med?

just wondering if this is normal. Ive been taking provigil for narcolepsy on and off for 2 years, and i finally started taking it every day again and ive noticed that i have little to no appetite when i take it. is this normal with provigil or other sleep disorder medications?

That is the first thing I noticed when I started Provigil last October. Most days I will not eat anything until noon or even 2 or 3pm! Every once in a while (like today) I am hungry (it is 9am). 95% of the time I end up eating my first meal around 2 or 3pm and will not be hungry for dinner, but I'll eat a small meal around 9pm. I've lost about 20lbs. since I started Provigil.
I was diagnosed with narcolepsy last October, and everyday I feel different, or notice a new characteristic of narcolepsy.
