True, but that was referring to a common well known antidepressant. Savella is not common or well known in the USA. Very popular outside the continent for quite some time.

It hasn't been made visible at all! :-) I'm glad you won't exclude it. I honestly believe this drug is going to be a huge answer for so many people. Not just based on text, but based on what it did to me when all else including ECT failed.

All I can say is, it is "different". And I reiterate, I believe its strongest worth will be found as part of a combination with another SSRI, lithium, or antipsychotic.

Nothing is perfect. But as potential goes, I truly believe this drug has more than any other med we have at our disposal. I mean that.

There is so much in that article I think it will be likely to miss or forget a lot of key points. But hopefully someone will find it interesting or helpful in their pursuits.
