What medications are most commonly used for narcolepsy?

Narcolepsy is a sleep disorder that makes people very sleepy during the day. To help manage this, doctors use different kinds of medicines.

Common Medications:

1. Stimulants: These help people stay awake during the day. Modafinil and amphetamines are two types that are often used.
2. Sodium Oxybate: This is another medicine that helps improve nighttime sleep and reduce daytime sleepiness.

These medications work by affecting chemicals in the brain that help control sleep and wakefulness. It's important to follow a doctor's guidance when using these medications to ensure they are used safely and effectively.
