He did not give me a reason for the Savella. I finally worked up the courage to start it on Sunday. I thinks it is making my symptoms more pronounced. Especially the burning. He did not say it was for the burning but for the weakness. He gave me Savella becuase we had tried the lyrica and I could not take it. I am going to try it for at least two weeks. I had the same reaction when I starated Cymbalta but the symptoms went away. Cymbalta helps me alot. The Savella is at the lowest dose possible so he thinks it is OK with the cymbalta. hopeful
