Multiple Sclerosis: Medicines for Fatigue

Topic Overview

Medications used to treat fatigue caused by multiple sclerosis (MS) include:

  • Amantadine (Symmetrel). This medication generally has few side effects. When they do occur, they may include dry mouth, blurred vision, urinary retention, fluid retention, and rash.
  • Fluoxetine (Prozac). This antidepressant may help reduce fatigue in some people with MS.
