I WAS PRESCRIBED SAVELLA FOR NEUROPATHY. I'M NOW ON THE HIGHER DOSE WITH LOTS OF HOT FLASHES. PRETTY FOGGY WITH IT ALSO. AS FAR AS THE PAIN, IT SEEMS TO BE HELPING. I'M HOPING THESE HOT FLASHES SUBSIDE AS TIME GOES BY. ## Both of the symptoms you stated can be normal side effects of this medication. How long have you been taking it, now? It may take about 2 weeks, or so, but the side effects should start to taper off as your body adjusts to the medication, but can expect to experience them, again, anytime you are given a higher dosage.

I recently have been taken off a number of medications. However, two of these are made by your company. Savella and Lexapro. Do you provide any kind of discounts for those people that are on disability. Savella costs me $112 a month and Lexapro is costing me $30. ## I am looking for discounts on Savella

50 mg in the a.m. and 50 mg. in the p.m. (along with 30 mg cymbalta once a day) and - for the first time in 50 yrs. have a serious decline in my chronic pain. It's been two months. Let's hope it lasts and we do finally have some significant control. Remember FM'ers, get sun/daylight. ## I am very glad to hear you are finally experiencing some pain relief.
