ibromyalgia
"These comments have been most helpful to me, in my own quest to see how well Savella works for me. I&#039;m a 50 year old female, long suffering (16 years) with fibromyalgia, and a host of other similar ills, and have been on Savella little more than a week. It DOES work, however, I have had to go back, and start again at the 25mg dose, and go very slowly, as the side effects put me in bed for over a day, at the 50 mg dose. 25mg so far, is working for me, although I have dry mouth, some nausea, and the heat flashes, they are getting better. I do eventually want to get back up to the 50mg twice a day, but right now, its too strong for me. However, pain is much improved, although I am also on Lyrica, and several muscle relaxers. Just go slow."
