I just begun the 3rd attempt to give milnacipran a fair chance.As Bleauberry advised, for those who can't tolerate the usual 50-100 mg/day dose, this time I started about 5-6 mg two times daily.So far its day 4 and the very high-high anxiety and impending doom was alleviated.These past days were hell; sweating constatly, panic-like attacks, nausea, hard to concentrate, nervousness, everything I said sounded stupid, like an extreme shyness.
I'm taking milnacipran for GAD, anhedonia and fibro due to an disrupted HPA axis.
I hope that this time I'll stand all that weird side effects and finally I will re-regulate my HPA axis.I dont know if in theory an noradrenergic drug like Ixel it's supposed to be good for GAD-like anxiety and disrupted HPA axis.I can guarantee that for my fibromyalgia it works just fine, from the first dose my backpain was alleviated.Oh man, I feel so stupid after these days,I barely can find my words.Stupid scared and painless.
