Respiratory depression is not a known symptom of ME/CFS, but is a known side effect of some medications used for symptom relief in patients with ME/CFS, particularly opioids.[2]

Notable studies[edit | edit source]

Possible causes[edit | edit source]

Respiratory depression may be caused by medications that act as respiratory depressants, a drug or other agent that diminishes normal breathing. Most respiratory depressants, such as alcohol and opioids, act by depressing the activity of the central nervous system.[1]
