Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a sedative and a wakefulness-promoting agent?
Sedatives like Zolpidem (generic Ambien) are used to induce sleep in patients with insomnia. Wakefulness agents like Modafinil (generic Provigil) or Wakix are used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness associated with narcolepsy. [1]
Is Wakix a stimulant?
No. Wakix (Pitolisant) is a first-in-class selective histamine 3 (H3) receptor antagonist/inverse agonist. Unlike traditional stimulants, it works by increasing the synthesis and release of histamine, a wake-promoting neurotransmitter, in the brain. [2]
Can I use Provigil for shift work sleep disorder?
Yes. Provigil (Modafinil) is FDA-approved to improve wakefulness in adults with excessive sleepiness associated with shift work sleep disorder (SWSD), as well as narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea. [3]
Do I need a prescription for sleep medications from Canada Drugs Online?
Yes. All therapeutic sleep treatments (including sedatives and wakefulness agents) require a valid prescription from a licensed U.S. physician. [5]
Are generic versions of common sleep medications available?
Yes. We offer generic alternatives for many common sleep treatments, such as generic Modafinil (Provigil), generic Eszopiclone (Lunesta), and generic Zolpidem (Ambien), providing significant cost savings.
What is Cataplexy in narcolepsy?
Cataplexy is a sudden loss of muscle tone triggered by strong emotions (like laughter or surprise). Medications like Wakix are indicated for the treatment of cataplexy in adult patients with narcolepsy. [2]
