I'm trying savella. I had my first pill tonight(titrating up) I feel a little more settled. back still hurts. had a popcicle. not hauseous like the doc said I might be. hubby took over the entire bed while I was still in it and inadvertanly booted me out.

day.2..now nauseous. have to play mind tricks on myself to eat. colon acting up too. pain reduced. energy reduced due to calming effect. I sleep when I can.

day 3
savella experiment aborted for now. colon problems, hot flashes, and nausea too mush to handle. called doctor. turnes out not medicine. virus. will try again soon. appetite slowly returning along with the pain. taking pepto to eat and keep in fluids. resting as much as possible.

Should you be taking it in the morning instead? Doesn't it keep you up?

I am on Savella and have had no problems. I only take 25 mg. 1 every 12 hrs. I could not take the 50 mg. it made me nauseated.
Good luck.Sandra

I take mine in the morning after I eat. Had nausea the first couple of weeks. Working out well for me right no.

Here's hoping it help you soon.

Sandra's comment about taking a small dose only set me back on my horse. I think we tend to respond better to low doses of several meds than to high doses.

I'm thinking of trying this again soon. do ya'll thik adding phenergan would help keep me from vomitting while I get used to it? I have some and would like to used it for this. I've been extremely ill lately(not virusrelately this time) and cannot afford to stop eating again or to start throwing up again.

I tried Savella a couple of years ago. It was the first drug to ever make me lose my appetite and throw up. Hope it works out for you.
