Interesting that it's a level V narcotic. They clearly state that there is no known effective treatment and that studies need to occur, yet believe their narcotic is the perfect solution.

Sorry if this has already been covered. I did a couple searches and nothing came up.

There is patent out for treating CFS with buprenorphine (suboxone)



Anyone know anything about this?
a patent isnt a study, but buprenorphine can lower glutamate in the brain, any opioid can, but the combo of the mdirect painkilling effects but also lowering glutamate might help a lot of me/cfs symptoms

and in my experience it helps a lot of me/cfs symptoms but by no means cures severe ME
