Anyone Else Trying Savella For Fibromyalgia? (Page 30)

This is a new medication that just came out for fibromyalgia. I have several other conditions involving spinal degeneration , herniated discs, arthritus, etc.
I've been taking this medication for a little over 2 weeks now and have worked up to the full dose. My biggest symptom seems to be upset stomach but I don't know if it's from the Savella or from de-toxing from 7 other medications that I've been on for over 10+ yrs.
Is there anyone else out there that has started this medication that can give me any information that they may have on it?

This is my 3rd week and have made it to 50 MG 2x day.it has made me nauseated everytime.it's gets a little easier if I take it with food but Dr thinks this will go away. I can't really tell if it's helping bease I work 12 hour days but maybe my hips and legs don't hurt as bad.had to quit taking gabapentin and Mobic .I feel like my head is in a daze all the time but going to give Savella a little longer.Good luck.
