Thank you.
I have one more question:
Anyone have an idea of how soon the first Orexin Agonist drug will be on the market for the general public in the US?Hi
. I haven't seen any good estimates, but it's getting super close. This is the latest update I could find: https://www.takeda.com/newsroom/newsreleases/2026/fda-accepts-nda-priority-review-oveporexton-narcolepsy-type-1/. - Lori (Team Member) close!!!!! I was at a sleep conference last month and Takeda is pushing it across the finish line, article linked below. When it comes to Big Pharma and Government stuff “close” is relative.
Experience with xyrem
Hi
. Hopefully, you will get feedback from others in the community and from some of our health leaders, but I thought I would share some articles with you from our narcolepsy community since it's a holiday weekend and activity might be slow here. This is an article from a health leader who found her excessive daytime sleepiness first decreased and then increased with Xyrem: https://narcolepsy.sleep-disorders.net/living/xyrem-expectations. Here is another from someone who had a positive experience overall: https://narcolepsy.sleep-disorders.net/living/nighttime-sleep. I hope this helps. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
