Does Cymbalta work? ## I tried Cymbalta and it worked well for endurance and pain but not so well for depression so I had to go back to Effexor and Wellbutrin. For endurance and pain I take an Ixel or milnacipran every other day (gotten from a British source). It is an antidepressant that is supposed to be equal in enhancing serotonin and norepinephrine.

The doctor recently changed my medicine from Cymbalta to Savella. Savella worked for the pain from fibromyalgia but the excessive sweating, constantly feeling drunk, and horrific nightmares has caused my doctor to change the meds again. Anyone else experience nightmares while taking Savella? ## Savella contains the active ingredient Milnacipran, which is an SNRI and really, any medication that works on brain chemicals may cause you to experience nightmares, or other mental issues. Learn more Savella details here. What medication are you taking now? ## Thanks for the information. Right now I am not taking anything but an occasional Hydrocodone for pain. Weaning off of Savella was one I the most painful things I have ever done. Constant pain is my companion. I do take the new drug Viibyrd...

I'm finishing my second week on Savella and feel so much better and have lots of energy. In fact, so much that I can't sleep at night and become very restless. I'm also experiencing constipation and weight gain. I had read that Savella may cause you to loose weight??? What can I expect and will it all get better eventually?? ## Savella contains the active ingredient Milnacipran, it's an SNRI that is used to treat Fibromyalgia. Weight gain is generally not a common side effect of this class of medications, but some people have reported experiencing it, as a side effect. Other side effects may include: nausea, dizziness and constipation. As with any medication, side effects usually hit their peak between 4 to 6 weeks of use and then gradually start to taper off.

I noticed since I took myself off Savella. I know I should of weaned myself off it. I'm now having bussing or vibration sounds in my ears off and on Does anyone have this issue. I hoping it goes away it very annoying. Thanks ## Hi Arlene, I haven't found much on the specific side effect you're experiencing, but visual & auditory hallucinations are listed as a severe side effect of Savella (Milnacipran) on a number of different webpages. Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a609016.html#side-effects How long has it been since you last took any? I'm also thinking it could just be withdrawal type symptoms that will eventually subside as your body levels out. I hope this helps!
