Has anyone tried Savella? my primary gave it to me today and she is so confident it will work, look me off the lyrica and flexeril and told my vicodin wont help fibro pain, so she told me to stop taking it . Ok I have only been on for 3 years now....Will wait til I see The RD mondayI've never heard of it, but found this on webmd:

I have read the info looks promising for fibro if you can get past all the initial nasty side effects Ill keep you all posted

Chris, I hope it works for you.  Not sure if your doc told you, but Lyrica is supposed to be tapered down, not stopped cold turkey.

Vicodin either, for that matter.  If you've been taking it regularly for some time now, talk with your doc about a schedule for weaning off these meds.  The withdrawals can be nasty if you stop cold-turkey.
