I stared Savella about 2 weeks ago for chronic pain, chronic fatigue and depression. I'm up to 87.5mg a day. I'm hoping these are not placebo effects but it seems to be working better than I expected.
I'm noticing some cognitive improvement and lessening of pain. Side effects are minimal. Sociability has improved from increased spontaneity.I previously took Savella for about 6 weeks in 2010. The only benefit I noticed then was improved sleep, but this time it doesn't seem to be happening. My sleep is light. I wake up every 2hrs for no reason. I take 50mg with breakfast and 37.5 milligrams around 2PM, hoping the stimulating effects would be somewhat diminished by bed time.
Any advice, comments or experiences would be appreciated
I will try to keep updating my progress,(or lack of).
