Avatar f tn I was on Savella for over a year-- and it helped with my FM, but I also have bipolar d/o--- which caused the Savella to make me extremely paranoid. I was afraid to go out of my own house into the yard even. It was hell!!! I got off the Savella-- but it took me many monthes to get rid of the paranoia it had caaused. My Psych MD told me that this was a common occurance in people with bipolar d/o taking Savella.... Geez!!!
1349329 tn?1276985202 Some folks have luck with a B-vit complex, Omega-3, and Evening Primrose as support for energy and Fibro. Hopefully you are getting regular check ups for the Thyroid & Vit D deficiency. As TrudieC mentioned, one of several anti-depressants may prove to lift some of the fatique. Cymbalta and Savella are advertised to help. I've had success with an older one: Wellbutron. Swimming is the least stressful exercise on bad joints. Try a heated spa if available and massage therapy.
Avatar n tn -) Tramadol does take the edge off and I do receive some relief. Alex and Erin's ideas regarding relaxation are also very helpful. I got to PT once or twice a week and the massaging of sensitive areas does improve my neuropathic leg pain.
653169 tn?1303446369 My doc recently changed me from prozac to Savella since I have alot of muscular, nerve, and joint pains. I stopped the Savella because it was making me feel faint and just weird and on top of it did not help my depression, but it did stop my nerve (including sciatica type pains). Has anyone else had similar side effects with Savella and is it possible to take prozac with Savella?
Avatar f tn I do have fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease, My Rheumatologist is hard to get in to see quickly but I am wondering if savella she gave me could cause serotonin syndrome? All I take is is lisinopril savella and the methadone. Could methadone contribute to serotonin with the milnacipran? the savella seems to be helping my fibro. I have also came down 60 mg on the methadone in the last year.
1378325 tn?1285346625 Antidepressant, Tramadol, Magnesium and will be starting Ribose - D tomorrow. My doctor has suggested water therapy which I will be starting as soon as I get a YM/YWCA membership. Exercise besides that is not an option right now as the pain is too great. Walking is out as I have bum knees. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Avatar f tn Would like to know if anyone else had insomnia worsen and if so, did you continue to take Savella and did your body get used to drug and insomnia resolved? I am wanting to wait and see if it will subside in another week or so as I am having much less pain, I did the titration pack but have kept my 50 mg dose twice a day at 2/3 of the pill, so around 37.5 mg twice a day.
1381549 tn?1279205635 I have been on Savella for about 2 months and have not noticed the mood swings, but then again I take Pristiq along with it, so that may have something to do with me NOT having mood swings? Also, I had really bad sweats when I first started Savella, but that seems to have worked itself out and now I notice it only happens about once a week! HUGE improvement to the everyday drenched feeling! I would agree you should call the Dr.
735919 tn?1236444549 I have heard that mixing these types of drugs are dangerous so many times, yet doctors do it all of the time. Cymbalta and Savella are similar drugs- they are both SNRIs. I think if your doctor is monitoring you well, you should be ok, but if you are uncomfortable with the treatment, it is your body and your responsibility to speak up and say something. Is your doctor planning on switching you to Savella, or just planning to keep you on both meds ?
Avatar m tn When I called about the Tramadol not working he gave me Savella. I looked it up and it is basically the same thing as Lyrica. Plus I take celexa and it's not good to take both. Plus the risks of increased anxiety and depression. I really don't want to go that route. So I never went and picked up the script for Savella. I just take the Tramadol and suffer through the muscle pain. I'm young, 28, three kids, husband is deployed in Afghanistan, just left a month ago.
Avatar f tn Yesterday my doc started me on 300 mg of gabaoentin once a day and 50 mg of tramadol twice a day. I was unable to tolerate cymbalta and savella. I am allergic to lyrics. While I slept 10 hours last night, I still have a ton of pain in my hips and shoulders. My question is, how long will it take for the gabapentin to reach therapeutic levels in my system? I know everyone is different so I am just trying to get a general overview. I also am hypothyroidism and some of my pain is from that too.
Avatar n tn the doctor has now said it is fibromyalgia. however I have no tender points. they are trying me on tramadol, flexural, and savella. I am only getting worse and at times can not even climb the stairs or turn up a drink. please help. what do I need to ask the doctors to do? I am a 29 year old white female that lives in the usa. thanks!
Avatar f tn I have not had tramadol for 2 days and I have been miserable and hurt so bad. I have taken hydrocodone to try to help with the pain but feel I don't know how to go about stopping the meds. and controlling some of the pain. If there are suggestions that you can give me to help with the pain and stop this drug I would be thankful. I have a granddaughter that lives with me that is 10 and feel I cry all the time and that is not what I want her to see.
1185172 tn?1264284610 Yes i have hypertension and cardiomyopathy along with the fibro.. Savella has not bothered my BP has however increased pulse rate a good bit. Hasen't done a lot for the pain but everybody is differant. I hope i was some help.
Avatar f tn Hi this is the first time I've seen one of your post, If you don't mind me asking what is ur pain from? Buy your screen name I would guess Fibromyalgia? If so I have this, I take savella, Lyrica & get trigger point injections (steroids) It takes the edge off. I also take motrin & Tramadol. Now I've seen people post that they are addicted to Tramadol, however I do not get high off of it. I guess everyones body reacts differently to certain meds.
1100837 tn?1267668675 Has anyone ever taken Savella and Plaquenil at the same time? What were your reactions/results? (I'm been diagnosed with RA and FIbro.) My pain management dr told me I could take them both but only take 1/2 the dosage of Savella at night. My rheumy told me to take the plaquenil at night due to it causing drowsiness. I tried them both for the first time last night and my stomach was so messed up and I felt so weird I was afraid to go to sleep.
1489588 tn?1303998295 When I take Savella and Pristiq together, it works wonders. When both my pain dr and my psychiatrist got together and said I couldn't take them together, I became very depressed after getting off of Savella. I didn't want to kill myself, but I sure didn't want to live. Lyrica put me to sleep in horrible ways, Cymbalta doesn't work for me and anything like Prozac or Lexapro or Zoloft is candy to me. I also take Norco.
1075109 tn?1281835691 Then all of a sudden about 3 weeks ago my one shoulder started freezing up. Then the other and headaches. Then my spine, wrists and fingers. Now its in my knees calves and ankles. And lets not forget the IBS. Not much left except I'm in pain and exhausted but have no time to rest coz my Mom is undergoing radiation treatment for Breast Cancer so it's go, go, go. When time comes to rest I'm too sore to relax. Am I the only nut pushing thru.
Avatar m tn Please find a doctor who will listen to your symptoms and check you for tender points. Drugs like Lyrica, Savella or Cymbalta as well as anti-depressants can make a big difference. Lyrica has changed my life.
329994 tn?1301663248 I started taking Savella about 2 months ago and I REALLy love it! My mother also has FMS and also has loved Savella. She tried it before i did and once she had such success with it, i finally had the resove to get off the Cymbalta. I've never taken Lyrica but i have a friend who takes Lyrica as pain management for Deep Vein Thrombosis and he tells me it works very well for him. For the CFS i have taken Adderall XR for almost 6 years and it is the only thing that has worked for me.
Avatar f tn The doctor suggested to start taking Savella, but I have not read about anyone taking Savella for this and that it helped the shakes and muscle twisting. I have heard a lot of side effect stuff, and withdrawal side effects. Anyone out there that has taken Savella and had good results?
Avatar m tn I have just started taking Savella, but notice a headache throughout the back of my head and slight nausea. Is this "normal" for some people? And will the side effects disipate with time?
Avatar f tn went back to my original) tried to tell me that any and all fatigue and aches and pains were ALL from depression. Not true.
1611319 tn?1378618399 Hey, I am new here and was just wondering who is on Savella, Dosage and Results???
Avatar f tn thanks for the support and advice! I did not drop the tramadol cold turkey. I just dropped one of the two doses per day. I think though, after reading a bit on this, that what I will do is go to a half tab twice a day for a few weeks. I can then drop one half at a time to get free of it. The problem with trying to do this through the docor is that I only see my neurologist every four or five months! thank you once again for all the help and support.
Avatar m tn I tried cymbalta up to 120mg which did not work and now savella. In just 24 hrs, savella has totally messed me up. I am extremely depressed and angry, alot of pain and nausea. The depression and anger is my biggest concern. Has anyone else experienced this in just a 24 hour period? I took the savella in the morning and literally felt the difference in me throughout the day. I never felt this way in the 2.5 yrs before getting diagnosed. This is horrible and very scary.
