In reply to Bleauberry-Combining Savella with an SSRI, posted by morganator on February 11, 2010, at 18:12:29
In Japan where Savella is one of their top performing antidepressants, it is commonly in combination with Luvox or Paxil...when Savella on its own fails, or the SSRI on its own fails, they then combine them.
At another forum...can't remember if it was revolutionhealth or askapatient...some took high doses of Savella with maximum doses of Cymbalta.
So yes, it can and has been combined with other SSRIs and SNRIs.
As for longer lasting versions, yeah, I hear ya, I wish they were all like that.
> Do you think Savella can be combined with an SSRI? I wish there was an extended release version of Savella. I wonder what it is that makes certain drugs have a shorter half life. I wish there was an easy way for drug companies to give the drugs they make much longer half lives so they could only be taken one time a day. I just hate being so dependent on a medication and having to make sure that I take it again half way through the day just to feel better.
