ibromyalgia
"I was a patient in the research study for Savella, from 1995-Oct. 2009. Within 3 days of receiving the &quot;unknown&quot; medication, I began to feel like a normal person again.  I had more energy, slept better, my pain level went from almost the most possible to no pain on their pain scale. Up to about July 2009 the only side effects I experienced were occasional palpitations. Then I started having frequent palpitations, hot flashes, twitchy muscles, increased sweating, infrequent nausea and vomiting. I continued to decrease my dosage and had to finally stop it entirely. Now I&#039;m back to my old fibromyalgia pain again, but have been able to control it with Vicodin and methocarbamol so far. I may try the Savella again if my pain increases."
