What is the best treatment for fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis?
Although fatigue seems to be a vague and subjective symptom, it is one of the leading reasons why victims of MS are unable to work.
No drugs are very useful for this symptom, but some are still prescribed.
Amantadine may reduce fatigue, usually in doses of 100 mg twice daily.
Modafinil and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as fluoxetine also are prescribed.
Simple commonsense measures may be more useful, such as resting during the day and reorganizing the home and workplace for better efficiency.
