I have SEVERE fibromyalgia and have tried more pain treatments than I care to count, including this one. It had absolutely NO affect on the symptoms nor the pain. So far, the only medication I have found to actually alleviate the pain and spasms is the "Butrans Patch" at a dosage rate of 20 micrograms/hr.

My dr. Gave m this med to treat my fibromyalgia, it worked great at first but that was only for about 6 weeks then slowly it was not as effective as it was at first. And I had weight gain as a side effect.

I have Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I take Ritxin infusions for the RA and for some reason treating one increased the pain from the other.

I have Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I take Ritxin infusions for the RA and for some reason treating one increased the pain from the other. My Fibro symptoms went crazy and the doctor put me on Savella. Because Savella acts like an anti depressant, I was told I have to stop taking Pristiq 100 mg per day. As I've been weening off of the Pristiq, I have noticed symptoms returning that I had actually forgotten about. I've been taking Pristiq for four years. It completely relieved me from the "Noisy Brain" I call it. When I awake in the mornings it's as if I have a radio,televsion and crowd of people all talking at the same time in my head without my regular dosage of Pristiq. I've found pain relief so far with Savella, after only 4 weeks, but cannot keep taking it if I have to stop taking Pristiq. I'll go mad!
