Ixel(milnacipran)

Posted by tensor on February 8, 2005, at 5:30:15

Hi,

This drug is available in Finland(where i live) and it will probably be the next step if current treatment fails. I would like to hear your experiences on this drug. I seem to be more helped by noradrenergic drugs and i read somewhere that the noradrenergic/serotonergic ratio is 3:1. Have you found it effecient for depression? How about its side effects, including sexual?
My current regime:
50mg zoloft
30mg remeron
2mg clonazepam
1200mg lithium(starting 1200mg today, blood level with 900mg was 0.4)

Thank you!
/Mattias

Is this a drug that is only available in Europe? It seems that there are a lot more available over there than there are here. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi Phillipa,

accordingly to Ed, it's not available in the UK nor the US. I think it's available in France. I would like to try it because it has in theory the kind of properties that could work for me, like nortrip but without the s/e related to TCA's. If i'm still depressed in a few weeks i will give it a shot.

Best wishes,
Mattias

Hi Phillipa,

Milnacipran seems to be available in Argentina, Austria, France, Israel and Portugal. It's definately available in Finland.
