The duration of each cataplectic attack—whether partial or total—is variable, lasting from a few seconds to 30 minutes, but in most cases 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Attacks can be elicited by emotion or stress. Laughter and anger seem to be the most common triggers, but the attacks can...
For these reasons I am tempted to review the subject, hoping to arrive at a common factor in the cases reported and to raise the question of an unconsidered laryngeal or respiratory reflex which may enter. It also seems an opportune time to consider the relationship of laryngeal vertigo to ...
Cataplexy cannot be considered as a pathognomonic symptom of narcolepsy. However, manuscripts about cataplexy without narcolepsy are less common. There is a tendency to believe that the occurrence of cataplexy without narcolepsy is an uncommon event [2]. Cataplexy is not a finding exclusive to ...
particularly in the case of severe withdrawal, visual hallucinations, agitation, and delirium. These symptoms generally abated in 3 to 14 days. In cases of severe withdrawal, hospitalization may be required. The discontinuation effects of XYREM have not been systematically evaluated in controlled clinic...
In pediatric patients, headache, decreased appetite, and weight decrease were also common. Your side effects may increase when you take higher doses of XYREM. XYREM can cause physical dependence and craving for the med...
The open-label portion of the study is still ongoing. As of February 2017 (the time of the data cut), the most common Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) (>5%) were enuresis, nausea, vomiting, headache, decreased weight, decreased appetite, nasopharyngitis and dizziness...
STUDY OBJECTIVES: We analyzed the potential predictive factors for precocious puberty, observed in some cases of childhood narcolepsy with cataplexy (NC) and for obesity, a much more common feature of NC, through a systematic assessment of pubertal staging, body mass index (BMI), and metabolic/...
This state is characterized by complete muscular atony, by absence of deep reflexes, and occasionally by a positive Babinski sign. The term cataplexy must be distinguished from the more common term catalepsy, which designates the state of muscular rigidity in the catatonic form of schizophrenia ...
, headache, decreased appetite, and weight decrease were also common. Your side effects may increase when you take higher doses of XYREM. XYREM can cause physical dependence and craving for the medicine when...
Narcolepsy onset is rare after age of 55 or prior to age 10 [5] but the interval between onset and diagnosis can be longer than 10 years [6], making it sometimes difficult to establish the exact time of onset. Diagnostic delay is however less common when cataplexy is present and in ...
