A member asked:
Aside from stimulants, antidepressants & sedatives, are other rx drugs effective for diagnosed chronic fatigue with hypersomnia & cognitive issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But this is not the most easy thing in the world to treat. I once heard a narcoleptic (they have many of these issues) patient say, the song "I want a new drug" by Huey Lewis and the News should be a narcoleptics' theme song. If you listen to the lyrics, its true!
