Hi! Has Anyone Switched From Gabapentin To Savella (milnacipran)? Does It Work Better? I’m Currently On 300mg Of Gabapentin 3x A Day.

Savella worked better for me than Gabapentin did.

Yes it was. My blood sugars were in the 300's. I called my doctor and asked her and she said yes it does raise blood sugars. She forgot I was a diabetic.

I'm taking Savella with Lyrica. Savella worked great years ago. Now Lyrica (3 doses/day) is better, but I get a boost from taking Savella with it once a day.

Barbi, I'm also on both Savella and Gabapentin. I unfortunately am on low doses of each because of side effects, but I definitely notice a difference if I stop taking them.

Hi Donna, was that something you experienced with Savella? I know it can impact blood pressure and heart rate, but never heard of it impacting blood sugar.
