Milnacipran
by Mitch Wood, Jul 11, 2004 12:00AM
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia with depressed mood. I was prescribed Wellbutrin XL 300mg qd, which has reduced my symptoms by approximately 30%.
I also want to take Milnacipran, which has completed phase II studies in the U.S. and has proven to be effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia and depression. I have aquired Milnacipran from abroad.
My question is this:
Is Milnacipran compatible with Wellbutrin, and what dosage should I start with and then maintain?

I believe that Strattera works like Milnacipran... selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. Wellbutrin is a MAO Inhibitor and cannot be taken with Strattera, so probably the same for Milnacipran.
