"Savella works great. But the 1st week of side effects while titrating are uncomfortable. After that, it&#039;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&#039;t take it properly and aren&#039;t giving it a real chance. It&#039;s not a pain pill; doesn&#039;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&#039;ll cause headaches/nausea. Don&#039;t give up; give it 2 months to work. Doctors also aren&#039;t telling patients: It&#039;s an SNRI so don&#039;t take it with other serotonin affecting antidepressants or it&#039;ll make you sick (serotonin syndrome). Give it a chance; Savella helps A LOT."
