cis-(1S,2R)-2-(aminomethyl)-N,N-diethyl-1-phenyl-cyclopropanecarboxamide
Levomilnacipran is a selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) used for the treatment of depression. It works by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine, which increases the availability of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft. The substance has a moderate side effect profile and is frequently prescribed for major depression. Due to its pharmacological properties, it may have effects on the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system.

Receptor Targets
Mechanism of Action
Levomilnacipran acts through the following pharmacological mechanisms:
Designations
IUPAC: cis-(1S,2R)-2-(aminomethyl)-N,N-diethyl-1-phenyl-cyclopropanecarboxamide
Receptor Profile
Der Serotonintransporter (SERT/5-HTT) ist ein Natrium-abhängiger Monoamintransporter, der Serotonin aus dem synaptischen Spalt zurück in die präsynaptische Zelle transportiert. Er ist das primäre Ziel von SSRI und MDMA.
Der Noradrenalintransporter (NET) ist ein Monoamintransporter, der Noradrenalin aus dem synaptischen Spalt zurücktransportiert. Er wird von verschiedenen Stimulants und Antidepressiva beeinflusst.

Avoid uncertain dosage claims and do not infer numbers when data is unclear.
Dose sensitivity varies greatly between individuals. Body weight, tolerance, route of administration, combinations, and pre-existing conditions significantly affect outcomes. These figures are not dosing recommendations — they describe reported ranges, not safe amounts.
