Default Savella for fibro pain anyone????

I was diagnosed with RSD/CRPS over a year ago and was diagnosed with fibro. a couple months ago.
I take 3600 mg of neurontin
60 mg of baclofen
600 mg lyrica
400 mg celebrex
10/325 hydrochodone when needed
I was taking 120 mg of cymbalta but at my last visit to the pain doctor I told them about my fibro. diagnosis and they decided that I could try Savella for pain but that I had to get off my cymbalta. My pain has been getting worse and my SCS isn't working as well as it used to, so I think that is why they want to try something new. I haven't heard or read about anyone trying this med. and hoping to find some insights into it.
Apparently it is used as an anti depressant in Europe and is only approved for fibro. pain in the States.
