Hi Anna P.,
We dont have milnacipran/Ixcel in Australia. I have heard of it but as far as I knew it was still
in trials and not even released overseas yet -
dont really know for sure though. The thing is with the Rebox. I have already been on a low dose
- 4mg per day for the past week, then 3mg for 2
weeks before that, then 2mg per day to start with for a week. This is because I read another post
about how its better to go up really slowly if
you are getting hard to tolerate side-effects. I
dont know how much longer I can stick it out.
Ive read in other posts and in professional
journals that sometimes it can take up to six weeks to respond - Ive given up Rebox. (and a few others) once before after only two and a half weeks so I thought I had better try and stick it out this time.The only meds that make me feel
better also take away any motivation I have (esp.
the SSRIs and Parnate). Ritalin and Dexamphetamine
are addictive for me. So I will probably try to
give Rebox. another week or so and if the hostile
looks(which I realise sitting here are all in my
head but when Im 'out there' cant dispute) dont
lessen then Ill either try a bit of Paxil with it or call it quits with Reboxetine. Thanks for your
help.
Also , Id be interested to here if you find any more about Milnacipran.acer.
