Question 1

what is the milnacipran treatment for fibromyalgia?

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).

Accepted Answer

Never heard of it: Within allopathic medicine, we lean towards sleep-wake cycle maintenance, exercise, and physical therapy as the mainstays of treatment for fibromyalgia.  Antidepressants such as Cymbalta also work well, as does lyrica (pregabalin).  Tca's such as notriptyline are used successfully, and nsaids are indicated.  Narcotics are contraindicated for fibromyalgia as there is no evidence to support its usage.
