In reply to milnacipran for depression, posted by kribensis on March 30, 2014, at 10:20:19
I used Milnacipran for about 2 years for depression. Its not the most powerful antidepressant but it is effective and can improve symptoms of social anxiety, performance anxiety. Best thing about Savella is it DOES NOT cause brain fog or brain of memory impairment. Seems to improve sociability and brain function. Actual antidepressant effect seems to take longer, maybe 2 months trial. This is the only AD that will improve your quality of sleep-if you take the last does at least 9hrs or more before bedtime. Sexual dysfunction is a problem but not as severe as taking a SSRI. Nausea and tachycardia can be a challenge... 100mg a day was all I could handle. For depression 150mg / day works best.
