Dear all,
After being diagnosed CFS by 2 specialists in hospital, I have spent the last 2 years in very good shape thanks to the following treatement : rispéridone à 0.5mg/day.
Risperidone is an antipsychotics, I am not psychotic nor depressed. But it works.

The pharmacological aspect of this treatment is the following :
at low dose, antipsychotics drugs like rispéridone boosts the dopaminergic neurons, leading to nearly full reduction of fatigue (physical and cognitive ...

or other benzodiapzipines. I was prescribed this at a UK hospital for cfs/fms to help with insomnia and restless legs. I said I didn't want to take a drug famous for it's addictive tendencies but was reassured it was a small dose of a mild tranquiliser. This was not true. Sure it helped a lot with both and some of the pain but over 9 years I got droopier and droopier, even less able to ...

HI
Wondering if anyone is using Immunovir to enhance their immune system to fight viral infections. This drug is not currently sold in the US but it can be imported for personal use if prescribed by your physician. You take it on a schedule of 1 tablet twice per day for one 5 day period (typically Mon-Fri). Then you're off on the weekend and the following week. Then you start another round the 3rd week ...

I have been extremely ill with CFS for 2 1/2 years. Adderall enables me to function and work. I take 40 mgs extended release generic Adderall. If you try this drug try taking 20 mgs first, that might be enough for you. The generic works just as well and is much cheaper. It takes away my pain and gives me enough energy to get through the day. I take Klonopin 1 mg , Lunesta 3 ...

Unfortunately, I think we all experience that fatigue where we want to curl into a ball and do nothing.
It's not like being tired - it's totally different and NOBODY understands unless you have it.

I have tried Zoloft....and Klonopin.
Am now trying Kratom with good success and will be looking at Kanna/Sceletium as well.

Ritalin helps, but when it wears off you feel lousy

I have been taking generic Zoloft (Sertraline) for depression/anxiety for several years (which it has been quite effective at treating). However, a nasty side effect seems to be much worsening of my body's tendency towards reactive hypoglycemia. Does anyone else have experience with this?

Hello - I just joined, so I'm new, but have had (sudden onset) ME/CFS since December '95, so in fact am an 'old' ME/CFS soul. It's a long and complex journey, and often not a happy one. Current frustration - I've developed hives, and am thinking that the reason could be dust mites (since it's hard for me to do regular laundry, among other things). Does anyone have any thoughts and/or possible solutions?
