Fatigue medicine
Fatigue is the most frequent symptom reported in chronic fatigue syndrome patients. And if the fatigue represents lethargy or daytime sleepiness, treatment may be indicated. Trials of a wakefulness agent, modofanil (Provigil), have been completed, but the results have not yet been published. This drug is currently indicated only with the diagnoses of narcolepsy and excess daytime sleepiness.
A small dose of Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil or Serzone may help some patients with daytime fatigue. Drugs that raise the body’s dopamine levels, such as Wellbutrin, are often used with success.
