I have had Fibro for many years and have tried so many different things but so far after one week I find Savella to be a god send. The pain relief far out numbers the side effects so anything that helps the pain is valuable to me. My depression was due to the pain that I was at the point that death would be a good thing that is how bad I felt. I am slowly getting over some of the side effects that I have had and hope within some time the other's will go by the wayside. I am now going to try a massage every other week to see if this may produce added comfort of which is one of the suggestions while taking this medicine. To those of you that are still struggly I hope in time that you find something that will give you some relief because this Fibro is not any fun at all and it's hard to describe to anyone the pain that a person has due to this. Good Luck and God Bless!

When I first took Savella it was as if my life had been given back to me. I still had pain, but it was not as acute. It cleared "fibro fog" and I had a feeling of missing pieces of myself finding their place(you had to be there). I have taken it since 8/2010 and now, 5/2013, realize that exercise helps to relieve pain more than Savella. Tho Savella helped me over the hump to feeling bett ... Show Full Comment

When I first took Savella it was as if my life had been given back to me. I still had pain, but it was not as acute. It cleared "fibro fog" and I had a feeling of missing pieces of myself finding their place(you had to be there). I have taken it since 8/2010 and now, 5/2013, realize that exercise helps to relieve pain more than Savella. Tho Savella helped me over the hump to feeling better, a better diet, good rest, and exercise are helping me more now. The Savella has increased my BP from 95/60 to 130/88 - another good reason to stop taking it. I do not regret taking it and I am a little concerned that the fibro fog may come back if I stop taking it, but I am counting on a healthier lifestyle to pick up the slack on that. A good night's sleep makes the biggest difference!

I must admit that it's early days yet, as I hve been taking Savella for only 4 days, but I feel better, so much better I can hardly believe it. I have spelt better, I woke up during the night and was not cramped and aching as I have been for years. I have hardly any pain or discomfort evan during the late afternoon, when the pain used to swoop down like doom. I was taking Cymbalta and it didi't work like this when it worked. I feel so good I could cry, and even if it stopped working, I would be sorely disappointed (pun?) but would be grateful for this experience of comfort after such a long ordeal of pain filled days and nights. Thank you. I found this by studying information on line. You have to be proactive and your own physician. I don't even (knock wood) need pain pills nor the herbal medications that have been easing the pain somewhat. So far I love it and highly recommend it. I will resubmit with continueing success (I sincerely hope) or any other news. Information is power and in this case, ease and surfeit of pain.
