Greetings. I discovered this quirky board in a search for forums on, "Ixel", (Milnacipran).
I am a sexagenarian male resident in the U.S. with lifelong Major Depressive Disorder. I have been prescribed all the medicinal remedies and found success with mega-dose Paxil, and, later, regular dose Lexapro, but at the cost of neutering and chronic fatigue.
For years I have been waiting for Milnacipran to be approved by the FDA. When they stalled out last month, I finally took the initiative to order it from Europe.
The first day that I took it, I noticed a welcome increased energy. However, that night, after taking the second daily 25 mg. dose, I experienced terrible dysuria. Just getting out enough urine so that I didn't hurt required kneeling on all fours over the shower drain.
I would like to hear about others experience with this medication, and, particularly, if they have experienced the side effect that I described and how they have dealt with it.
I have read that others have had success with, "Flomax". Does anyone know of an OTC remedy for dysuria?
Thanks.
Cordially,
YOGI

Hi - so sorry nobody answered your post.
The Newbies Board isn't the most 'high traffic' board.
I'd suggest you post on Medication Board if you haven't already.
Way more people go there & there's alot of knowledge & experience there.
Best of luck Kath
