"I have just weaned off Cymbalta and started Savella about 3 weeks ago. Be careful of your judgements on side effects of Savella.  Many of us are being weaned off medicines like Cymbalta and others and these can be causing the side effects. Coming off Cymbalta can cause dizziness, feeling "weird" and many others.  Before you write off Savella, make sure your side effects are not withdrawal from other medicines.  I have found if I take Savella on an empty stomach, I am nauseated, so take with food. I also have moved the second dose of the day to 2 pm and that helped decrease the insomnia.  I have more energy than before, but find I am a bit edgy at times and this is fading. Smaller doses may help side effects. Insurance should cover-ask for appeal if denied."
