I elected Savella over Cymbalta and Lurica due to the possibility of weight gain. I have degenerative disc disease and could not afford to carry a lot of extra weight. So far it is working nicely!

Savella has been great for me. I tried Cymbalta and did not like how I felt on it. I've never tried Lyrica. Each of us tolerate medications differently according to these crazy bodies our ours. I found out that it was trial and error. I take gabapentin and Savella and it makes my life manageable. A few months ago I could barely walk around my house but now I am working full time. Good luck and I hope you find relief quickly.

I am on savella because lyrica had a bad psychological effect on me. It helps me a lot but I also take hydrocoidone if the pain gets too intense. But then again there were times on lyrica that I needed a pain pill as well. Everyone is different

I'm on Tramadal 100mg now. My drug regiment is very complicated because I also have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome in my Rt Leg following knee replacement surgery. I have the leg injected at least twice a month and have a major nerve block in the OR on a pretty regular basis I also had neurosurgery in August, so some meds I can not take due to the other meds that I am on. I have just signed up for an Aqua fit class which in their description they mention good for Fibro, so off to the pool and hope it helps if anything it will get my mind off of the pain distraction is my best medicine. Oh how I hate this!!!!!!

Hi Susan, that is good to know...this Cymbalta is definitely adding weight to me. I don't think that helps the pain I have in my feet and legs.
