Alternatives for Narcolepsy Medication While in Treatment for Adderall Addiction or Abuse

If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, particularly to Adderall, then you may feel limited by your treatment options! If the standard treatments don’t seem to be helping your situation, there may be some alternatives you can consider to help you achieve your recovery goals and improve your overall situation.

Why Is an Alternative Necessary?

Narcolepsy Medication

Explore alternative narcolepsy treatment options with your doctor.

The drug Adderall is used to treat Narcolepsy, but despite the fact that it is a prescription drug, an addiction can still form from using it. According to NIDA, due to the effect that the stimulant has on the brain, it can lead to an addiction or dependency over a period of time.

Following your physician’s guidance and specifications can help you achieve the benefits of the treatment for narcolepsy, but what do you do if you have developed an Adderall addiction? The continuation of using Adderall will only harm you further, so it is important to seek treatment for your addiction and remove Adderall from your Narcolepsy treatment plan. If you or a loved one are struggling with Adderall addiction and are seeking a treatment plan, just call 800-487-1890 (Who Answers?) to speak with a specialist about your situation.

Meanwhile, what can you do for your Narcolepsy then while you are recovering from your addiction?

What Are the Options?

According to NCBI, due to the potential problematic effects of using stimulants to treat Narcolepsy, the current treatment options are often unsatisfactory. Further research in recent years has made progress into understanding the neurobiology of this condition, but this has not yet proved any specific therapy options to be primary alternatives to stimulant medication.

There are a few promising alternatives presenting themselves, but further research is necessary to prove their efficiency. These alternatives would include compounds like histaminergic H3 receptor antagonists that would work to control symptoms of Narcolepsy. NCBI reports that hypocretin replacement therapy also holds some promise for future treatment.

With Limited Options, What Can You Do?

How you should treat your Narcolepsy while in addiction recovery will be something for an experienced physician to diagnose depending on your specific situation. The options for alternatives are limited with the research currently available, but you and your physician can explore the options that are available to see what will work for you.

It is important to not let your addiction get worse but to take care of the issue and work to find an alternative to treat your Narcolepsy.
