Some people are using low-dose naltrexone to treat long covid: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/long-covid-treatment-addiction-drug-1234701573/
I read about this in Eric Topol's "Ground Truths" newsletter, which said "An article in today’s Rolling Stone (of all places) reviewed the potential of low-dose naltrexone "
Mostly anecdotal so far, and NIH wouldn't say whether they're considering funding a placebo-controlled study. But interesting. Also interesting is that pre-2020, it was being prescribed off-label for chronic conditions including MS and fibromyalgia.
That article notes that it would be very unlikely for this, or any other one drug, to help everyone with long covid, because "long covid" is an umbrella term that covers several different problems.
