> > 2 of 3 of those meds appear to be re-uptake inhibitors. I feel like re-uptake inhibitors don't work anymore, or otherwise the side effects are too severe. Do you know if they work on different pre-synaptic receptors than the other SSRI's?

> Yes, Milnacipran is a reuptake inhibitor. I'm telling you though, it is different. I have no clue how. Must be in the way it manipulates various receptors or how it integrates various neurotransmitter systems or whatever. I just know, that after every ssri and snri on the market, mood stabilizers, benzos, all the mood stabilizers, a couple tcas, everything except maois, milnacipran is different enough from them all to be in a class all its own with no other peers in that class. It has some slight similarities to other reuptake inhibitors, but by slight I mean whatever else it does is a lot stronger. Whether it actually works for someone or not is the same odds as any other med, but I just wanted to say it is "different" than anything you've tried.

Do you experience the muscle ache, joint pain and lethary that many other drugs can cause? What about cognitive effects?
