They think it might be involved in ADD, but how is it suppose to help with depression stuff?

Some say its linked to energy and motivation parts of the brain. There is also a catalyst effect on increasing dopamine transmission a bit when it's being used. Although most current research links dopamine as more responsible for ADD and Dopamine than norepinephrine.

just started milnacipran (Ixel, 25 mg x 2) and here is the thing: I'm feeling a very strong 'NE rush' - a lot of physical anxiety symptoms, goose bumps, sweating, but on the other hand it definitely helps with my social anxiety and it could be felt right away just after the first pill.
The strangest thing: one of my anxiety-related problems is axillar-palmar hyperhidrosis and, under milnacipran, it is better - I sweat A LOT, but only from my trunk, NOT from my usual anxiety zones, it feels like a strong thermal sweating in a hot day.
So for anxiety - a feel strong 'physical anxiety', but my social anxiety almost vanished, it feels very strange and paradoxical and really hard to explain!
