Accepted Answer

Reuptake inhibitor: Milnacipran blocks reuptake of neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine, thus increasing the availability of those neurotransmitters at neuronal synapses. The mechanism is similar to duloxetine, which is also indicated for fibromyalgia (and major depression). It is taken orally, 100-200mg per day, and can cause side effects similar to other serotonin reuptake inhibitors (e.g. Fluoxetine).

Question 10

are there any over-the-counter herbal or vitamin/mineral type substances that show any efficacy in treatment for fibromyalgia?

Accepted Answer

Homeopathy: I agree with dr. Baker's excellent answer -- and also want to mention that homeopathy can provide much benefit for people with fibromyalgia.  You'll need a well-trained, experienced classical homeopath to take your case and treat you, though, because any one of hundreds of possible homeopathic remedies might be the one you need. Dr. Iris bell has done several studies. http://tinyurl.com/7ekkqhz.
