There are medication‘s for LSN. But the one that has tested as 85% effective is available only in Japan. It is called LYFNUA (Gefapixant). It is manufactured in Merck Pharmaceuticals, New Jersey. Our FDA has not approved it because it has a side effect in some people of a metallic taste.
They are going to revisit the test for this but they said they did not know when.
The medication that some people are using are the following: Amitriptyline, pre-Gabalin, Gabapentin, etc. I had LSN literally all my life. And I went through all kinds of tests and doctors did not know what this was so they said: allergy or maybe asthma or a maybe reflux. But it wasn’t.
Now doctors are learning about LSN. Hopefully, Merck pharmaceuticals will pursue their second testing of the medication that is currently used and legal in Japan.
