Treatments: Pharmacologic Therapy
Pharmacologic therapy is directed toward the relief of specific symptoms experienced by the individual patient.
Patients with CFS appear particularly sensitive to many medications, especially those that affect the central nervous system. Thus, the usual treatment strategy is to begin with very low doses and to gradually increase dosage as necessary and as tolerated.
It is important to remember that use of any drug for symptom relief should be attempted only if an underlying cause for the symptom in question has not been found.
The best example is use of a sleep-enhancing medication for non-restorative sleep.Although the patient may state that they sleep better, the sleep disorder remains obscured and thus treatment of the sleep disorder not given.
It is also important to remember that all medications can cause untoward side effects, which may lead to new symptoms.
