Hi! Has Anyone Switched From Gabapentin To Savella (milnacipran)? Does It Work Better? I’m Currently On 300mg Of Gabapentin 3x A Day.
You are so welcome! I'm happy to help.
Has Anyone Tried Naproxen?
I have tried Naproxen for my pain! It works, but unfortunately I had to stop taking it due to it messing with my Asthma! I had a really bad Fibro Flare once and it took all of it away in minutes! Maybe some of you can try it I don't know! I strongly recommend it though! #FibroWarriorDaily!
Yeah but it's not very effictive for me. It caused more problems than has solved, giving me dyspepsia where acid keeps coming up into my mouth, chest pains and heart palpitations.

Savella? Any Experiences?
My doctor asked me to do research on the new drugs Savella. She said to find people with fibromyalgia who've taken it and see for myself if it works or not. I am very excited about the thought that something can help better than what I wanted. So please, if you've taken it FOR FIbromyalgia let me know your experience! Thank you!
