Researchers tested whether a medication called solriamfetol could help reduce fatigue in people with ME/CFS. In this 8-week study, some patients received the medication (starting at 75mg and potentially increasing to 150mg) while others received a placebo. By week 8, patients taking solriamfetol reported significantly less severe fatigue compared to those on placebo, and they also showed improvements in thinking and memory abilities. The medication was generally well tolerated, though some people experienced sleep problems and headaches.
