Thanks for the input. I am a little bit scared about Nortriptyline and cardiovascular issues since I had a ischemic attack (blood clot in my intestines) about 3 years ago. The dr. wants me to take only 10 mg for pain and sleep. Hopefully I won't have any paradoxical side effects. I have tried Cymbalta in addition to Savella, Pristiq but they didn't do much. Savella actually made me very angry although it did help with the pain. The only thing I can do is try it and hope for the best. I really do not have that many options since I have pretty much tried everything in the arsenal except for the old meds. The dr. told me about the weight gain but there are others who actually loose weight on it. With my luck I'd probably gain weight. Since I have gained a total of 40lbs since being on psychotropic meds. Thanks again for your input.
Happy holidays
