Savella
"Suffered with Fibromyalgia for several years. I was asked to try all the antidepressants, etc. Their side effects rendered me more useless, not able to function at all in daily life. I had taken Vicoprofen 1/2 tablet (half by choice) 3-4 x's day for several years and Lidoderm patch every morning on my cervical spine, hips and knee's. I had no desire to live. I was going through the motions. 3 weeks ago I started Savella. 1/4 the recommended dose for 10 days. Then 1/4 the next dose. 1st week I felt a difference. By week 2 my husband said he hadn't heard me mention pain. I cautiously said I'm in no pain and on no pain pills or patches and don't need to nap and can sleep. I'm very active and can do anything. Start VERY slow, with low doses. Now on 25mg once in the morning with a full breakfast! "
