> I'm about to start a course of Lexapro, but from what I've read it has many of the side effects I've been trying to avoid (drowsiness, anorgasmia). In my reading I ran across some references to milnacipran suggesting that it could be at least as effective as SSRIs without all the typical SSRI SEs.

> Thanks.Zoloft, Prozac, Efexor and Ixel worked perfect for my mood. I was on other ADs, but these were the only ones that worked for my mood. The problem is that I had similar sexual side effects in all of them, including Milnacipran.
I never had drowsiness on any, so I can't say for that.
Maybe Milnacipran can cause sexual side effects in less people, but it also does it!Good luck!
