Objective Our aim is to develop a local consensus to guide medical practitioners and psychiatrists on the use of milnacipran in different psychiatric conditions. Methods By utilizing the modified Delphi technique, 12 statements were electronically voted on anonymously for their practicability of recommendation. Results There was a very high degree of agreement among the consensus group on 10 finalized consensus statements, but 2 statements were voted down due to a poor degree of agreement. Conclusions The present consensus statements were developed as general recommendations for medical practitioners and psychiatrists to be practically referred to in clinical settings.
