Description

Fetzima Medication 

Levomilnacipron is the active ingredient of Fetzima, an antidepressant that belongs to the SNRIs serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors. It binds to the serotonin and norepinephrine transporters to inhibit the reabsorption of chemicals that have been released through the central nervous system leading to increased levels of serotonin and norepinephrine. Fetzima is indicated to treat MDD major depression disorder, a mental condition that causes persistent sadness and lack of interest in daily living.  

Fetzima also improves mood, sleep, and appetite and brings back interest in life by increasing the hormones or neurotransmitters responsible for alertness and energy (norepinephrine) and happiness (serotonin). This medication is sometimes used as an off-label for anxiety disorder, a condition of excessive feelings of worrying and tension: depression and anxiety have a cyclic relationship, so treating depression may also help relieve anxiety. Fetzima for anxiety may be helpful as Fetzima changes the brain chemistry and communications of the cells in the brain to regulate mood. However, chemicals are altered and may cause mood changes or increased anxiety based on some clinical studies, but this should only last for a couple of weeks and should be resolved as the treatment continues.
