> I have been taking Savella (milnacipran) for 5 weeks. I have been at 200mg for one week. I experienced a transient 3-day antidepressant response at the 2-week mark using a dosage of 100mg. This is a consistent pattern for me. Usually, I do not benefit further from a drug once that brief response ceases. Up until now, the only side effects that I have experienced are some dry mouth and amotivation. The amotivation has been troublesome as I am not getting anything done. It affects me enough to want to discontinue the drug. However, I will take it for one more week. If there is no improvement, I will probably begin tapering.

I'm sorry that it's not helped, Scott. It does sound like you've given it a decent trial, which is very important as you well know.
