Your feeling better coming off of milnacipran might be due to a phenomenon known as a discontinuation rebound improvement. If this is the case, you might begin to feel worse within two weeks. I hope this scenario does not apply to you.
If I were in your position, I would wait and see what happens. I think you would regret not investigating your present need for medical treatment were you to start another drug right away. You might even be less apt to give the next treatment a fair trial because you wouldn't be convinced that you need it.
It SUCKS being tethered to a drug indefinitely just to be able to function.
