I have suffered from snf for about 5 years. Under control with Neurontin and Cymbalta, however starting to have memory loss. Rheumy thinks it may be from Neurontin. Have to go to neuro to see if I can dose down. Columbia University in NY is holding a clinical trial with the drup Milnacipran. ADA approved for Fibromyalgia and testing for help with non diabetic neuropathy. Finally a trial for non diabetic neuropathy. I am near nyc and called to enter. Does anyone know anything about this drug? I would love to get off neurontin.

Savalla seems to work fine for me with the least side effects. I have been on it for six or eight months - something like that and was prescribed it for SFN pain, FMS and rheumatological pain. It does seem to help elevate my mood as well. Is it a miracle drug? No - but I have found it to be the best of what is available to me.
All of the other meds I was prescribed - Neurontin, Lyrica, cymbalta (and others), gave me intolerable side effects. I hope it works for you if you decide upon it.

I've answered this on your other thread.
