Thanks so much for the info... I have notice intense mood swings. One minute super chatty and happy then the next minute sharp bite your head off. I also cry at the drop of the hat. None of this is normal for me. Maybe my body is still looking for my Effexor?? Could that be adding to the mood swings - Who know!

I too am wondering if I should be taking such a high dose of Savella (100 mg 2x a day) along with the Lyrica (200 mg 3x a day). I decided the other day to only take 50mg in the AM with my Lyrica dose, 50mg with my Midday dose of Lyrica and then 100mg at night (this way I sleep through the yucky stuff). It has helped a little with the side effects -
I think. I haven't notice that much of a difference in the pain and my leg/foot is still sub-zero.

I will let my husband and son know about the Black Box warning so they can help keep an eye on things too. They are both real good at being able to tell what's going on with me.

Right now I am in the middle of a spinal stimulator trial so I am having all kinds of stuff going on. I get the leads out on Monday so that will be loads of fun! Jury is still out on if it will work.

UGH... I really hate this darn CRPS!!!!
