Four of these unique predictors were individual symptoms present during the identified depressive episode : sad mood, weight loss, hypersomnia and fatigue.
The adverse events observed most frequently in patients treated with olanzapine relative to comparators were related to somnolence (somnolence, fatigue, or hypersomnia) and weight gain (weight gain, or increased appetite).
These behavioural changes include fever, experience of weakness, fatigue, hypersomnia, depressed activity, decreased appetite and loss of interest in social activities, and result in a state of general malaise.
Although anti-depressants, in general, have not been found to be helpful for treatment of idiopathic hypersomnia, bupropion specifically is known to have wake-promoting effects.
Upper airway resistance syndrome is a clinical variant of sleep apnea that can also cause hypersomnia.
Paraneoplastic syndromes can also cause insomnia, hypersomnia, and parasomnias.
The disorder is characterized by episodic periods of hypersomnia and lethargy.
However, current research is raising the possibility of several other potential medication options for idiopathic hypersomnia.
