This med is similar to Effexor. Only it has more SNRI effects, I believe. It can raise blood pressure.

I am attending a pain conference all day Fri --10hrs.
One of the speakers will do Fibro. The last time I went, 2 yrs ago, this drug was in trials, and only available in other countries.

It will be interesting what is said about it on Fri. I'll come back to this thread if anything new or exciting is shared.

It is an antidepressant, and if you are bipolar, you should clear it with your psychiatrist.
