Milnacipran is a prescription medication primarily used to treat fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition. It is available under the brand name Savella. Milnacipran belongs to the serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) class of antidepressants and works by affecting the balance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

Please note that you will need a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to obtain this medication.

Milnacipran is primarily prescribed for the treatment of fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia syndrome (also known as FMS or just fibromyalgia) is a chronic condition that causes widespread musculoskeletal pain throughout the body.

The common symptoms of fibromyalgia include:

  • Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet
Milnacipran is classified as a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). It works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. These neurotransmitters play a role in mood regulation and pain perception. By affecting their balance, milnacipran can help alleviate the pain symptoms of fibromyalgia.
