female only fibromyalgia

[Charlene K 1]

Charlene K, I am so glad Savella is working so well for you. I hope it continues long term. I tried Savella for 3 days and got the shakes because I take Zoloft as well. Have you noticed any reduction of anxiety or depression?(if you have that challenge) I would be afraid of going off my Zoloft otherwise.

My new muscle relaxer seems to help. Like you, I'm hoping the effects don't wear off.

Hang in there everyone.

I guess I must have been depressed because I do feel so much better....the pain was getting to me. I have read a lot on Savella and you are not supposed to take it with Zoloft or many SSRI's because of the serotonin. I guess if you do it really can cause major side effects. I still have low bp, but my pulse has gone down. I think maybe I need to get off of my bp medicine. I still need to go in and talk to the dr. I just can't believe how much better I feel. Now, the weather is going to change on Wednesday and I will know if it takes care of the IBS. I was taking muscle relaxers before this med. They help too. Glad your's is working for you. Everyone needs to seek out the best solution for their pain.

Take Care!
