However, MAOI + TCA still helps more than the other treatments I have tried. I will return to MAOI if Savella doesn't work out. I guess it makes sense for me to try Marplan first since I never gave it a fair trial.

Scott I just posted some info on Valdoxan. Has some novel mechanisms of action. If you can afford it that also might be worth looking into.
