A member asked:
If a case of narcolepsy, without cataplexy, was resistant to the various stimulant drugs, would there be any other additional fda-approved treatments (or proven 'rehabilitation') to prescribe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First it is important to confirm that the sleep issue is truly narcolepsy, and HLA testing and overnight sleep studies are advised if not previously done. And yes, several newer drugs are now available. Suggest you see a neurologist who specializes in sleep disorders.
