In Nature, @scattercushion.bsky.social captures the state of hype around orexin/hypocretin agonists. I do wonder if they will actually eclipse cheap ADHD stimulants, and whether tolerance will develop, especially in non-NT1 folks #narcolepsy #sleeppeeps www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Will this sleep-disorder drug be the next big blockbuster?
Orexin agonists have been approved for the treatment of a type of narcolepsy, yet they could also treat conditions across the health spectrum.
