Unsure about wether or not I have narcolepsy

I will start with symptoms I have noticed.

-Tired everyday for most parts of the day (excluding a few minutes to an hour after waking up where I can sometimes feel relatively energetic)
-I have vivid dreams very often, even though I only sleep for 10 - 5 minutes i can still get them.
-Often during wakeup I have blurred vision, unable to move (until i physically force myself to wake up by "pulling myself up) this is very hard to explain. During this time I have strange thoughts momentarily and often auditory hallucinations. Just this morning I was for sure that my brother was in my house in the kitchen doing the dishes due to noises that sounded just like it, as I woke up i instantly realized that it could not be the case as we do not live together since about half a year ago.
-I have lucid/half lucid dreams about 5 - 6 times a month, but most of the time I can't really control them as I wake up instantly when I try to do but I am fully aware of it being a dream.

Unsure wether or not this is related to this but I am a very light sleeper as well.

I might add that I was diagnosed with clinical depression about a year ago and taken 30 mg of mirtazapine daily until up about 4 - 5 weeks ago. I think it made me feel way too much like a robot with no emotions so I decided to not take them. I have always been tired a lot, but can not remember wether or not the other symptoms I have described were there beforehand.
I am not depressed anymore regardless of not taking medicine anymore, so I do not think that has any connection to the symptoms.

I have during the last year tried things like mdma and hash at parties. I have only done each of them 2 - 3 times in my lifetime. I thought this was worth to mention too.

Excuse my english, I am not a native english speaker

These symptoms can cause due to sleep deprivation, you need to take proper sleep at night for 7-8 hours. I would suggest consult a doctor for proper medication and essential changes in sleep habits to get better sleep.
