The Role of Atomoxetine in Narcolepsy Management
In my recent research, I discovered the significant role of Atomoxetine in managing narcolepsy, a neurological disorder causing excessive daytime sleepiness. Atomoxetine, a non-stimulant medication, functions by increasing norepinephrine levels, which helps maintain wakefulness. It's a welcome alternative for patients who can't tolerate stimulant drugs due to side effects. The medication has shown promising results in reducing both the severity and frequency of narcolepsy symptoms. However, like all medications, it's important to discuss potential side effects and individual suitability with a healthcare professional.
