narcolepsy medication

Narcolepsy is seen in both men and women of all ages. The first signs of narcolepsy normally appear during your teenage years, or in your early twenties, but cases can arise in children as well as in adults in later life.

One particular characteristic of this disease it that it is often several years after the onset of the disease (typically about 15 years) before it is diagnosed. It is also one of today's most commonly under-diagnosed conditions. For example, although about 50,000 sufferers in the United States are diagnosed with narcolepsy, it is estimated that the true number of sufferers is closer to 250,000.

At present there is no cure for narcolepsy, which is a chronic and life-long condition. It is possible, however, to treat the symptoms with a combination of narcolepsy medication and behavioral therapy.
