1,3-dmba and Solriamfetol

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

STIMULANT DRUGS

Why this applies to Solriamfetol

Solriamfetol falls under STIMULANT DRUGS — the group 1,3-dmba interacts with.

Theoretically, combining 1,3-DMBA with other stimulant drugs might increase the risk of cardiovascular toxicity.
Animal research shows that 1,3-DMBA has stimulant effects, such as increasing blood pressure and heart rate.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the simple version: Solriamfetol (Sunosi) is itself a stimulant-type medicine. It already nudges up things like heart rate and blood pressure as part of how it keeps you awake. 1,3-DMBA is also a stimulant, similar to the banned ingredient DMAA. Stacking two stimulants together can add up, so the worry is too much pressure on your heart and blood vessels (a faster or pounding heartbeat, higher blood pressure, anxiety, or jitteriness).

I'll be honest, this particular concern is mostly theoretical and based on animal studies, not strong human data. But 1,3-DMBA isn't a safe or approved supplement to begin with, and it carries real heart and stroke risks. I'd steer clear of it and chat with your pharmacist or doctor before mixing anything with Sunosi.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Solriamfetol page

“Solriamfetol (Sunosi) promotes wakefulness in people with narcolepsy or sleep apnea by acting, in part, like a stimulant, and that is exactly why this page deserves careful attention rather than a quick skim. The great majority of the 61 interacting ingredients are stimulants themselves, so adding them can push blood pressure and heart…”

About Solriamfetol

What Is Solriamfetol Used For?

Brand name: Sunosi

Sunosi (solriamfetol) is approved to improve wakefulness in adults who experience excessive daytime sleepiness caused by narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Important: Sunosi does not treat the airway obstruction that causes OSA. If you have OSA, you must continue your existing treatment — such as CPAP (a breathing machine worn at night) — throughout your time on Sunosi. Sunosi is not a replacement for those therapies.
