> A new antidepressant? Phillipa
Well, new for the USA, yes for Fibromyalgia, and yes off-label for depression.
New for those of us who mailorder our own meds from overseas? No. It's been around a long time.
New in 32 other countries? No. It has been performing as a potent antidepressant all over the world for many years.
This is the one Phillipa, you will remember, that actually worked for me after ECT failed? The one that actually got me better instead of worse? The one that made it hard for me to go pee? The one called Milnacipran? You remember now. It's that one. Different name in USA though. Savella is Milnacipran.
