I also have RSD in my left foot up to my knee. I was also dx with the fibro mounster. The Savella cost me $50 for 30 and i have ins. its just new they say. I think it might have been helping but i didnt take it long enough.

Hi, I can't add much yet. I was on it for a month. my pain clinic prescribed it for fibromyalgia. I swear it helped the first day. The second day I had a week long pain episode that was the most severe I've had. I think it's because of all the poking and rough treatement from my nurse practitioner at the pain clinic to see if I had fibro. She set it off. They have so far given me samples because it is so expensive. My primary Dr. wanted me to change to Cymbalta
because she could get cymbalta samples. I've been on Cymbaqlta a week but after reading all the horor stories of people trying to get off it, I'm going to request going back on Savella. No horor stories yet. It isn't old enough. I did have strong side effects. The nausea and some mental stuff. Glad that's gone. After I'm back on it, I'll check back to this forum. Good luck with yours.

I have been using Savella for prob 6 months or so, It has helped some. I looked into Lyrica and Savella and chose Savella because there seemed to be less side effects and what not, I only take 50 mg twice a day. When the weather changes Im in pain, when things are steady outside I have not experienced as much pain. I would recommend it. There is a website for it
