Does Adderal treat narcolepsy?

Adderall is a drug that is used to treat a variety of medical conditions. One of the medical conditions that Adderall is commonly prescribed for is narcolepsy. You must have a prescription for Adderall.

The problem or disorder that the medication is treating will not affect the fact that a doctor must give give you a written prescription. Narcolepsy is a disorder that commonly goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed because the most common symptom is daytime sleepiness. Daytime sleepiness is due to the poor quality of sleep a narcoleptic person is getting at night.

The problem is, this symptom is also associated with many other disorders. Diagnosing someone with narcolepsy is very difficult and undergoing a year or more of testing may be what you are looking at. If you suspect that you have narcolepsy, speak to your doctor about ALL the symptoms that you are having.Be sure to not leave out anything, no matter how insignificant you feel it might be.

Please keep in mind that Adderall is a highly controlled narcotic belonging to the amphetamine family of drugs. It is likely that behavioral changes will be suggested to manage narcolepsy along with therapy prior to your physician prescribing Adderall. This is due to the fact that Adderall has many side effects that can cause lasting health issues.

Narcolepsy is generally diagnosed in the following ways: * The patient is given a questionnaire called The Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Based on your answers your doctor may order further testing. * A Nocturnal polysomnogram is given at a sleep center This test measures the electrical activity of your brain and heart, and the movement of your muscles and eyes.

* Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) is another test that would be conducted at a sleep center. This test is used to determine how long it takes you to fall asleep. * A spinal fluid analysis may be done to see if your cerebrospinal fluid lacks hypocretin.

This could be a clear indication that narcolepsy is present in a patient. Spinal fluid has only recently been examined as a means of diagnosing narcolepsy. Adderall is highly addictive and gives the same affect as cocaine or meth.

Because of this, it is widely abused or misused. Never take Adderall unless a doctor prescribes it and then, only take the medication exactly as instructed. Misuse and abuse of Adderall can be fatal.

Best of luck to you!
