DULOXETINE vs Milnacipran

I am a 28 year old man and I've just realized that nothing interests me. I believe that it might be connected to depression as I am on medication for depression and anxiety (duloxetine) I am not really sad or anything. I am just very neutral. Things that used to interest, excite me and make me happ

I have been recovering from over a decade of major depressive disorder and recently diagnosed bipolar II. I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel with Lamotrigine and lifestyle changes, and after several mental health evaluations, my psychiatrist gave me the best news ever; I can stop taking antid

Hi, just wondering if this is a common experience: So i've been taking agomelatine 50mg for about 5 months and duloxetine 60mg for 3 months now for severe depression and anxiety. The antidepressants have been working just as intended in the sense that most of the mental agony has gone, but there's

I ( M23) have been taking duloxetine 60 mg for 2 years now. While it has helped tremendously with my anxiety/depression/DPDR, it did cause sexual side effects for me. (I also take lamotrigine, but that is unlikely to cause effects like this) For me, these sides were very annoying; my main problem wa

Entry time 8:55am Before I went to sleep last night, I had nurses come 2 times, around 9:30pm and then at 10:40pm asking if I wanted to take some anxiety medication to help me sleep better. I refused both times as it wasn't initially prescribed, and in general I don't have a problem sleeping. My al

UHC is canceling coverage of my medication: Lamotrigine, Atomoxetine, and Duloxetine. Starts in January. Im barely getting by as it is. I need to find new insurance asap (Im in the USA). Its no wonder they were targeted. I just learned that they deny the most coverage of any US health insurer. Wtf a

Since the late of 2019 year, till now I've tried: 1- Escitalopram "Lexapro" (tried Atomoxetine "Strattera" with it, then stopped it due to its bad effects) (tried Risperidone "Rispardal" then stopped it, it hasn't only bad effects, but also highly increased prolactin) 2- Fluoxetine "Prozac" 3- Bupro

You know how a lot of sources say working towards a goal and then achieving it gives a sense of reward via dopamine? This week I got a pay rise, achieved a fitness goal I've been working towards for months and even got asked out on a date by someone quite attractive. But I feel absolutely nothing.

In this post, I'm going to discuss a drug called milnacipran. In the US, it goes by the brand name, Savella, and is a relatively new treatment on the market for chronic nerve pain. Please note that this is not medical advice and I am not a doctor. If you're curious to learn more about this medicatio

Just to let you know that after disappointing failures, I ended up finding a SNRI-like molecule that works on me (Milnacipran). It is apparently the 6th most effective statistically: http://slatestarcodex.com/blog_images/cipriani1.png For those curious about the effects, I'm basically not depressed

Dear community! I battle with chronic depression since more than a decade now and I have just discovered the realm of nootropics. I want to ask you, who are more experienced, to give me some guidance and tell me which substances and protocols might be worth trying! So this is my case: I am depressed

And I am talking about INTERNAL chest pain. I already know all about costochondritis which I have and is for the most part under control. I am to my wits end with going to the ER and doctors over and over for my heart and chest. I am perimenopausal and know hormones cause a part of my chest pain, PV

A member here told me that a combination of carbamazepine 200 mg and 25 mg amirtriptyline taken every night was 100% effective in preventing symptoms. He said that he still got pois when he tried amitriptyline alone but reported much less POIS on carbamazepine alone. This effect has been consistent

In this post, I’ll share a few strategies that have substantially increased my happiness and sense of self-worth, even while living with severe, widespread pain. For context, I am a 34F with decades of chronic pain experience. I was raised in a domestic violence environment where I was perpetually b
