How does SUNOSI work?

SUNOSI is thought to work on two areas in the brain that help keep you awake during the day.

Two natural chemicals in the brain—dopamine and norepinephrine—help you stay awake. SUNOSI is thought to improve wakefulness by increasing the activity of these natural chemicals.

SUNOSI is not a stimulant. It is known as a wake-promoting agent that is a medication called solriamfetol.

I was using my CPAP every night, but I still was not feeling rested during the day. When I mentioned this to my doctor, he explained that SUNOSI may be able to help.
