If Cymbalta didn't do much for you, why did you try Milnacipran? They seem pretty much the same except for the addition of dextromethorphan, which might be useful for pain. I had the chance to enroll in a study with Milnacipran, but decided to forgo it because Cymbalta didn't do much for me at doses I could tolerate. I'd rather take the components (SSRI, NRI, DM) separately to titrate dosing of each and use only the medication that I needed. Since SSRIs and I don't mix, I'm going to try Strattera soon and may give DM a shot for pain.
