Market Snapshot:
Narcolepsy is basically a chronic sleep disorder that can be characterized by overwhelming daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks. People with narcolepsy often find it very difficult to stay awake for a very long period of time, regardless of the circumstances. Narcolepsy can seriously disturb your daily routine. Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), cataplexy, sleep paralysis, hallucinations, fragmented sleep, and insomnia, and automatic behaviors are observed symptoms. Sometimes narcolepsy can also be accompanied by a sudden loss of muscle tone (cataplexy) that can be triggered by various strong emotions. Narcolepsy, which occurs with cataplexy, is known as type 1 narcolepsy. Narcolepsy that occurs without cataplexy is hereby known as type 2 narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is basically a chronic condition for which there can be no cure. However, medications and lifestyle changes can help you relieve symptoms. There is presently no cure for narcolepsy, but medications, as well as a good lifestyle change, can help in relieving the symptoms. Medications that hereby stimulate the central nervous system are the main treatment so as to help people with narcolepsy staying awake during the day. Doctors most often try modafinil (Provigil) or armodafinil (Nuvigil) as the first treatments for narcolepsy. Modafinil and Armodafinil are not as addictive as older stimulants and do not produce the ups and downs often associated with older stimulants. Side effects are rare but can include headache, nausea, or anxiety.
