Treatments for Kleine-Levin Syndrome
Treating Kleine-Levin Syndrome
There is no specific, definitive treatment to cure or control KLS. Some aspects of the disease can be managed with medication, such as stimulants to combat the EDS, but this is most effective only once the episodes have already decreased in severity. In some cases, doctors have used lithium and carbamazepine, normally used to treat bipolar disorder, to prevent or shorten episodes. Beyond that, there really isn't much to do to control KLS, other than being as aware as possible of the effects of KLS, how to recognize episodes and to have sufficient support from family and friends.
