Don't order from https://aipctshop.com/ its been six weeks now and still haven't received, the tracking never worked at all and they said it could be lost and now have reshipped a new package for me but I don't know if this is true or not... Either way its pretty frustrating
My tracking from them through USPS says its in newyork going through customs. My order was about three weeks ago. I ordered two months worth I hope customs don't get suspicious.  There is insurance in the shipping pay, did they give you new tracking.  It was a pain trying to use bitcoin to pay them.
When they did not send my order right away, they were pretty responsive in telling me that they can send it right away if I converted my order to all 50 mg, since there was a shortage of 25 mg.

No they said they would send me new tracking a few days ago but I still haven't received it. Anyway guess what I checked my old tracking and it finally works and it says it was only collected in india on the 3rd of october..... Which means they must have created a postage label but never gave the item to the carrier for all this time... So they are liars screw this company

hurray

Sounds like they messed up and weren't honest about it. Not good.  They may still send you what you paid for, but you are unlikely to trust them again.

I was lucky enough to receive a parcel from them quickly (albeit with customs charges), but I haven't tried the milnacipran they sent me yet. I hope that they sort your delivery out quickly.

They sent me a generic version of milnacipran called "Milna". The product they normally sell (Milnace) was out of stock, so they emailed me and asked me if I would accept a different brand. I agreed.

nanna1, my testosterone pre-treatment was low. It’s only “normal” with TRT.
My testosterone is normal too now. No treatment. Just sports, more walking, eating more meat and more sun.

milnacipran can not be bought in The Netherlands. Because they say there is no proof it works.
POIS since 2000. Very bad since 2008. I knew that I have POIS since June 2010. Desensitization since March 2011. I stopped with desens in July 2016. I have 50% less POIS. And only 1 day of POIS. Purified CBD works for me, but I am allergic for CBD.

Exercise is a great way to get your testosterone back to normal. I always feel better after doing even moderate exercise.

Wikipedia says that milnacipran has been approved in 45 countries:

Quote
Milnacipran was first approved for the treatment of major depressive episodes in France in December 1996. It is currently marketed (as Ixel) for this indication in over 45 countries worldwide including several European countries such as Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Portugal, and Russia. It is also available in Japan (as Toledomin) and Mexico (as Dalcipran). Cypress Bioscience bought the exclusive rights for approval and marketing of the drug for any purpose in the United States and Canada in 2003 from the manufacturer Laboratoires Pierre Fabre.

In January 2009 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved milnacipran (under the brand name Savella) only for the treatment of fibromyalgia, making it the third medication approved for this purpose in the United States. In July and November 2009, the European Medicines Agency refused marketing authorization for a milnacipran product (under the brand name Impulsor) for the treatment of fibromylagia.

As the above text indicates, the US approves it for treatment of fibromyalglia, whilst Europe approves it for depression. The issue of which countries approve which medicines for which illnesses is complex, and subject to change pending further research  :)

My milnacipran finally came today but it came in 50mg and not 25mg like i ordered. Its harder to split these pills as they have no half line indented on them.

I took 25mg and went for a walk to run some errands I felt a bit foggy and anxious probably left over from a bad reaction to a shower two nights ago and a one off h2 blocker pill which seems to have disrupted things in my brain. Then I did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp8KPPffIJw&list=LLssezxBSGnlfJlWT0RMN1AQ&index=3&t=240s assisted quad PNF for the PSOAS and inner hip/quad muscles as that area has become extremely tight recently, I always get relief in my head from this one exercise I recommend it highly.

It feels the same as amitrptyline and hordenine to me but I guess this will be better than hordenine as it has serotonin which will stop dopamine build up.

I just tried an O now with it, taking it 1 hour 15 mins before and combined with deep breathing and elevating my pelvis with pillow. I had facial and chest flushing and darkness around eyes from the O. The O contraction was much stronger and I also felt more prostate emptying however it wasn't more pleasurable for me this time and was quite short. I have a more delayed POIS so I will update if I get symptoms or not.
I haven't O'd for over a month and my libido is extremely low despite doing weight lifting and taking testosterone supplements, I also haven't been able to get an erection for the last week even when watching porn once.

Thank you for posting your report, Iwillbeatthis.

It's interesting that you had strong contractions - me and drop247 experienced the same effect. I'm looking forward to hearing your next report, and hearing if your delayed POIS symptoms have improved.

Is it safe to assume Milnacipran did not work for you?

First time I tried I had a little brain fog and speech problems but it was an unfair experiment as I wasn't feeling that great already from ranitidine and a shower two days before which messed with my functioning and brain fog. I had numbness on my face and tingling on my scalp but none of the burning brain fog. It seemed I got these symptoms around 6 hours after taking. The next day I woke up feeling a bit groggy I took a milnacripan and clomid then i felt fine.

Second time I tried it while taking clomid also, I didn't have the strong contraction like the first time like I did the first time but I was also standing up. This time I did feel a bit foggy and also tired but I didn't sleep that well. I then had a long nap and then I woke up feeling fine.

Take what I said with a pinch of salt I am still unsure how effective it is for me so I need to test more but I would recommend you try it out for sure, I need to combine with antihistamines probably. I also need to write down a diary next O as my memory seems to be worse than usual affecting my accounts of symptoms.

I have started taking the milnacrpan everyday as I think it will help my autonomic dysfunction and also if I take it as a one off treatment I think it will just make my autonomic dysfunction worse. I have also been waking up with sore throats it seems that when I take milnacrpan or hordenine noradrenaline drugs they seem to give me sore throats the morning after taking.

I have also noticed after 6-8 of milnacrapn without O some speech problems and brain fog does kick in and a lot of antidepressants cause brain fog and speech problems for me. Probably because I need to sort out my b12 and folate levels and also my methylation functionality, I have recently learnt that blood levels of b12 are useless at showing whether you are b12 deficient or not and that methylmalonic acid and active b12 blood tests are needed.

Folate is required for the transfer of b12 from the blood to the tissue so low folate causes functional b12 deficiency, the b12 builds up in the blood in an inactive form when folate is low like mine is. So I need to sort out my folate deficiency urgently.

Anyway even with the clomid my libido seems low still and I'm not really interested in jacking off and don't find jacking off very enjoyable at all. I tried a stronger dose of clomid yesterday 25mg  not 12.5mg and I felt weird and foggy. So I will just take the milnacrpan only daily now.
I arranged a date with a girl next week so I will put my energy into that

I would say my social skills are pretty damn awful, but the only way one improves is with practice. I will prepare this whole week with different types of exercises so I can be the best version of myself for the date. The shower and water contact reactions have been holding me back as I don't want to stink on dates but I also don't wanna be a brain fog zombie weirdo.

This guys blog posts really helped me improve my game on dating apps where I am now at a point where I can arrange dates much much easier when before I didn't possess the skills to do so https://textgod.com/how-to-keep-a-tinder-conversation-going/

Also I think day game is also important to improve confidence and social skills with girls
