May be able to take: It is not uncommon to be on more than one antidepressant. I often get a psychiatrist involved to help with patients who have both major depression, anxiety and pain. Savella (milnacipran) is fda approved in the us for fibro only although it is an antidepressant as well. I would expect that you may see some positive effects on you mood as well. Discuss with your doc to see if you can remain on your meds.
