Guest guest Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I tried it in an attempt to get off of Cymbalta. My withdrawal of the Cymbalta was too severe and went back on it. I have a ton of Savella samples and had even foolishly filled the prescription in anticipation of my insurance running out. Becky wrote:> > Does anyone take savella and do you like it?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 I thought it was kinda like 'Lyica'? Now that I think about it it, I have read it's like 'Cymbalta'. Which I take and don't like how tired I fell for 3-4 hrs after, If I don't take it when I wake up at 3a.m., just one of my 'pain wake-up' times. I have skipped it for that day. Does 'savella' give you that tired felling too? I see my PD. in a wk. that's one thing I was gong to ask. 'Ellen' care to share your felling about 'savella'? You can e-mail me, no one reads my e-mail. Just share if it has helped you or not, I don't mention names, just like different opinions.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I was on Savella and it was amazing. Unfortunately, it raised by blood pressure too much (mine is usually 120/80 or lower and it went up to 154/94). If it weren't for that, I'd still be on it. It was wonderful for my pain - I remember going up the stairs like a " normal " person and almost crying from happiness. I hope it works for you. Good luck.

It would be nice to take something helpful as the only things working right now are the narcotics. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
