Four days later, symptoms such as paroxysmal sleep, impulsive cataplexy and hypnagogic hallucinations had disappeared.<br>In the Kampo treatment of narcolepsy, although there have been reports of remarkable reduction in symptoms upon administration of Kakkon-to 1) 3) and Hochuekki-to-ka-miho 4), this is the first report of the symptoms disappearing so rapidly upon administration of Choto-san.
