In reply to Savella - milnacipran, posted by orbital on May 29, 2011, at 6:37:17
Well I can't remember where I read it. Several places I saw similar stories. That is, in Japan those two meds are commonly combined. If one doesn't work, the other is added to it. I've seen milnacipran not work out well with a few people here, but I am a fan of it. For me it got me out of a hole when ECT couldn't. I think the biggest mistake everyone makes with it is they follow the directions....that is, they take a dose that is actually too much and they increase it too fast....but perfectly in line with the directions. I just happen to think milnacipran is better suited at lower doses than usually prescribed and given more time.
