The vast majority lack ANY reliable evidence of efficacy. Many carry significant side-effects and risks. This content is provided for information ONLY. MEpedia is not to be used to diagnose or treat any illness. Patients must consult a doctor before embarking on treatment. ''All potential treatments'' such as medications, over the counter (OTC) drugs and remedies, supplements, herbal remedies, and diets have side effects and possible interactions; discuss all potential treatments such as medications, OTC drugs and remedies, supplements, herbal remedies, and diets' side effects and possible interactions with with your doctor and pharmacist. '''Allergies:''' Make certain your doctor and pharmacist are aware of any and all allergies you have and past medication, OTC drugs and remedies, supplement, herbal remedy, and diets' allergies, side effects, or interactions you have had. '''Possible interactions:''' Inform your doctor and pharmacist of <u>all</u> current medications, OTC drugs and remedies, supplements, herbal remedies, and diets you currently use before using any new potential treatment such as a new medication, OTC drugs and remedies, supplement, herbal remedy, or diet. '''Pregnant and Lactating/Breastfeeding:''' If pregnant or lactating/breastfeeding, consult a doctor and pharmacist before taking any potential treatment such as a medication, OTC drugs and remedies, supplement, herbal remedy, or diet as they can negatively impact the fetus or baby causing birth defects, addiction, and injury.}}</div> The following are potential treatments for [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] (ME) and [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] (CFS), [[ME/CFS]], and other illnesses, diseases, and conditions like [[fibromyalgia]], [[sleep dysfunction]], [[depression]], etc., found on MEpedia. ==Please expand these stub pages== {{StubPagesInCategory|Potential treatments|mode=inline}} ==Please create pages for== <div style="column-count:3"> *[[Acamprosate]] *[[Acetazolamide]] (carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) *[[Acupressure]] *[[Adalimumab]] *[[Adrafinil]] *[[Alpha ketoglutarate]] (supplement) *[[Alpha linolenic acid]] (omega 3 PUFA) *[[Alteplase]] *[[Amisulpride]] (low dose) *[[Amygdala retraining]] (The Amygdala Retraining Program) *[[Anakinra]] *[[Aniracetam]] *[[Antifungal]] *[[ANS rewire]] brain re-wiring/brain training *[[Antihistamine]] *[[Aprepitant]] *[[Armodafinil]] *[[Aromatherapy]] *[[Aszopiclone]] (hypnotic) *[[Atenolol]] (beta blocker) *[[Atomoxetine]] (CNS stimulant) *[[Atorvastatin]] *[[Azithromycin]] (antibiotic) *[[Bach remedies]] *[[Baclofen]] *[[Baricitinib]]<ref>[https://www.medsci.ox.ac.uk/news/recovery-trial-shows-baricitinib-reduces-deaths-in-patients-hospitalised-with-covid-19 1]</ref> - immunosuppressant, Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor *[[Beta blocker]]s *[[Beta-carotene]] (vitamin;
