"Savella works great. But the 1st week of side effects while titrating are uncomfortable. After that, it's great for energy, pain and brain fog though it takes a couple months to see dramatic improvement. People who stopped taking it after the 1st week didn't take it properly and aren't giving it a real chance. It's not a pain pill; doesn't work instantly. Important to remember: Take it early and with food. I take it at 5 am and 2 pm (7 weeks now). If not taken correctly, it'll cause headaches/nausea. Don't give up; give it 2 months to work. Doctors also aren't telling patients: It's an SNRI so don't take it with other serotonin affecting antidepressants or it'll make you sick (serotonin syndrome). Give it a chance; Savella helps A LOT."
