I've had fibro for 20 years & have taken a good amount of pain medicine. However, I've only been on savella for 9 days. I'm not exactly sure as what it is suppose to do. As of now it's doing nothing....

I just finished my 30 day sample pack of Savella working my way up to 50mg/tab. I've had no noticable side effects & this is the first medication in 10yrs. that has helped me for FM. It has eased my pain, out of 100% feeling the best I've felt 80% better overall. I recommend this drug over any other FM drugs.

I have been taking 1 month but I have had to decrease dosage from 50mg 2x day to 25mg 2x day. Blood pressure way up. Today 154/101. Swelling, dizziness and mild headaches are side effects I do not like and want to continue to have. The cons outweigh the pros. Cymbalta did not take away the pain but I did not have these side effects. My Dr. willing to decrease dosage and stay on pill. I am not sure. However, this is the first pill that has helped me in 5 years. I have tried Paxil, Cymbalta and now Savella.
