Savella For Fybromyalgia (Top voted first)

Updated

I am getting off Savella , due to sever leg & hand cramping, nausea, fast irregular heartbeat, and trouble sleeping. Savella did help me with the Fybromyalgia pain for the first 2 months and it was great not to feel pain, but now as other medications " The Thrill is Gone". I am still having the leg cramping ; how long will that go on ???

Since you were on it for a few months, it may take about a month for your body to adjust to no longer having it and for the effects to taper off, so things return to normal.

Will you be trying something different, now?

Well, I don't know what my Doctor is going to offer now. I have tried most of all the new medications but it seems that I get all the side effects to them . When the pain level gets to a 10 then I go to the ER & they administer 60 ml of Toradol & 0.5 morphine I M . That will help me & take care of the pain, but that is only when I can't take the pain at all. I will most likely go back to taking Tramadol 50 ml tablets which really do help.
