Savella worked fairly well for me. However, I had to get off of it because the medicine made my resting pulse 130 beats/minute (scary high). I'd say give it a shot... just watch your resting pulse.

If you have fibromyalgia and health insurance, go find an osteopath NOW to treat you. It'll be the best thing you ever do. -Amanda

I know it has helped a lot of people, and anything is worth a shot Smile

As with any medication, watch for side effects or reactions. But it may be a good choice for jenni as it treats depression and fibro! It's a win win! And we could all use one of those Smile

Love,

Annamarie
