A member asked:
Are there any effective herbal treatment for cataplexy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Cataplexy is tougher to treat than the narcolepsy daytime treatment, and, so far, xyrem seems to be the best approach, although some patients respond to nuvigil, pro vigil, or ritalin (methylphenidate). There is no known otc treatment so far.
