ibromyalgia
"Female, 24 here. I have persistent low mood for one year. Finally my doctor prescribed me milnacipran; common to treat depression here (I live in Japan). I&#039;ve been using it for one month now, and it is fantastic. 1x25mg at dinner time only. I don&#039;t know whether it is placebo effect or not, but at the very least, it helps regulating my sleep. I can wake up in the morning again. I enjoy things again. It is now easier to avoid depression-inducing self-blaming thoughts. Side effect: hot flash on the first several days, and tolerable nausea. Some weight loss is observed, either from being able to get more exercise and less binging, or directly caused by milnacipran."
