i can not stay my life on xanax and ativan alone. though reluctant my shrink was, he suggested ixel (milnacipran) the drug is not available in us. this is my second day on 50mg bid. i could reduce xanax to 4 mg. don't know how it was made possible. still very much suicidal but willing to give one week to this med to know what it does for me. not many of you should have taken this and this was the only one i didn't try in the past. doc says it is different to common ssris because of its noradrenergic action. well who knows...milancipran 100mg plus xanax 4 mg along with ativan too at the same amount. but going down with xanax relieves me. i never thought this will be possible. is 4 mg xanax too high a dose? necessarily along with ativan? i am sure i can never get off this drugs, but will it be okay if milnacipran starts to kick in after one week?
i am moody at the time perhaps due to milancipran. i heard it causes moodiness at the initial stages but later brightens mood. again who knows...
any help with words...? i am really lost now. if anyone can help...?
