How much Savella do you take a day and what symptoms have been helped, pain? I also have fibro and my dr suggested a low does of Lyrica. Did you ever try that medication? Thanks.

Hello!
I apologize for the delay!
I was first prescribed 12.5 MG of Davella to start because I also take Lexapro, an antidepressant, and Lamictal for severe depression, and also Trazodone for sleep. I increased it to 25 MG. That hasn't helped, so I'm raising it to 37.5 MG. It takes 4 weeks to work. I took it before while I was on same medication, but I don't remember dosage. You have to be careful you don't take a higher dose because it can cause serotonin syndrome if you have too high dosages of serotonin, and that can be dangerous.
I also tried Lyrica, but it turned out I'm allergic to it. Had trouble breathing. I think that's a rare reaction.
Good luck!!
