ibromyalgia
"I've started Savella a couple months ago.  I was previously taking Lyrica and was having weight gain even though I eat really healthy.  I also could not lose weight while taking the Lyrica.  Since taking the Savella, I have lost 8 lbs since October and I'm not eating any differently than before. The Savella does not make me tired and sleepy like the Lyrica did so I'm enjoying more energy (a definite plus for those of us with Fibromyalgia). I have also discontinued Lyrica, Ultram, Cymbalta, Mirapex and Topamax.  I feel that the Savella must be controlling my restless leg syndrome and also helping to control migraines....of course I will keep an eye on these.  My only complaint is the hot flashes and I seem to be always hot."
