Trazodone

Trazodone is an antidepressant drug.

There is virtually no evidence for the use of Trazodone to treat ME/CFS. In 2012 Solve ME/CFS Initiative contracted Biovista to use drug models to identify existing drugs that may be worth investigating for treatment. The results suggested Trazodone was worth considering.
