Everything you ever wanted to know about Milnacipran (Savella).
If the link is clickable try that. If not, just copy and paste. I tried the copy and paste just to be sure the web address worked. It does.
Very indepth look at this...my opinion...unsung hero.
I was going to cut and paste the article but it is just too long. Plan on spending about 10 minutes or more reading it. Very detailed and informative, with mechanism, graphs, comparison of trials from country to country, successful combinations, history of performance in Japan, treatment resistance potency, memory, sleep, anxiety, onset, dosing, side effects, and lots of stuff.
My own opinion...this drug is probably a potent workhorse in combinations with SSRIs or antipsychotics, though by itself it is plenty impressive.
