Hi. I promised I would get back to some of you about my progress with Savella.
I can honestly say that I have been feeling much better and it has been about 3 weeks. I switched up my meds in that I take Flexeril (muscle relaxer) before bed, Savella and Gabapentin. I have seen great improvement all around. I also bought the Trigger Point Workbook and have actively been working on the knots in my neck at base of skull. I believe all of this may have finally given me the right mixture.
I can say I honestly am cautiously optimistic because I keep thinking maybe I was in a bad flare and now it has gone and that is why I feel so much better. I hope I am wrong and these meds and trigger point work is helping. So in my opinion Savella which is for fibro, depression and anxiety caused by fibro worked for me. I never felt this good while on Cymbalta.
I wish everyone who is suffering will get relief and find the right mix for them. I am not saying I am cured by any means but I sure feel much better and can function now.
I pray for all who are suffering every night and I will continue to do so for all of us.
