I don't manage fibro drugs too well, i.e., I have every conceivable side effect. But I was prescribed Savella and so far it seems to be helping. I was not aware it causes weight gain. With me it is the opposite - I am loosing the Neurontin weight quite rapidly since taking Savella. BP is fine so far and I suffer from autonomic neuropathy so it could potentially be a problem.

Everyone is individual in their reactions to meds. Perhaps the Savella would help. Maybe worth a try if the narcotics alone are not working.
