ibromyalgia
"Savella has really improved my life. I am a nurse who works 12h shifts & before this drug I had to crawl out of bed, work my 12h shifts, then sleep for days until time to return to work again. Now, I have a new lease on life & this is the 1st time in 25 yrs where I dont feel as I was dragged under a bus all night when I get up. It has not been without side effects. Most notably rapid heartbeat (up to 125), sweats, hostility & irritability. Ive found that 6. 25mg daily is the most I can tolerate. It does not come in this dosage, but I break a 12. 5mg tablet in half. My pain is not totally gone, but the fatigue is remarkably better. A couple tylenols twice daily helps with the pain & stiffness. Keep trying to find right dose for you."
