Amphetamine salt combo (Adderall) is a moderately priced drug used to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy (uncontrollable desire for sleep or sudden attacks of deep sleep). Amphetamine salts are available in generic and brand versions. Generic Adderall is covered by some Medicare and insurance plans, but pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower. Attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder, and excessive daytime sleepiness is frequently observed in ADHD patients. Excessive daytime sleepiness is also a core symptom of narcolepsy and essential hypersomnia (EHS), which are also heritable conditions. Psychostimulants are effective for the symptomatic control of ADHD (primary recommended.

Narcolepsy is a rare long-term brain condition that causes a person to suddenly fall asleep at inappropriate times. The brain is unable to regulate sleeping and waking patterns normally, which can result in: excessive daytime sleepiness – feeling very drowsy throughout the day and finding it difficult to concentrate and stay awake.

Target Audience
This activity was developed for sleep specialists, neurologists, psychiatrists, primary care physicians, advanced practice nurses, and physician assistants.
Goal Statement
This 60-minute CME activity features an expert faculty panel comprised of two sleep experts, a cardiologist and a dietitian, that will engage in an interactive discussion about current evidence-based insights to manage people with narcolepsy - cataplexy (type I) using a combination of medications and behavioral interventions to reduce the likelihood of stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure and cardiac arrest in this vulnerable population. After examining the latest evidence and data surround emerging agents, the faculty will provide expert recommendations for the management of several patient scenarios, emphasizing strategies to address current gaps in the management of narcolepsy and discuss the place of novel, emerging agents in the treatment algorithm.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to
- Recognize disease pathophysiology and Identify factors that can play a significant role in the cardiovascular health of narcoleptic patients.
- Appraise role wake promoting and anti-cataplectic medications for narcolepsy may play in affecting short-term as well and long-term cardiovascular health.
- Plan to manage narcolepsy medications and behavioral issue to reduce the likelihood of stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure and cardiac arrest in this vulnerable population.
