I have not tried it nor do I have fibro. (You're probably wondering why I'm bothering to post.) I know that Savella is in the same general family of drugs as Cymbalta and Effexor, which are considered antidepressants. I'm further told there was a great deal of discussion re: Cymbalta as to whether it should be categorized as an antidepressant or something else (like whatever Savella is labelled). It increases the serotonin and norepinephrine in your brain and should be effective for all types of nerve pain. For these reasons, I, too, would like to hear from folks who are taking it. Cymbalta really helped my nerve pain but I could not tolerate the side effects. Susan

I was just prescribed Savella for fibro a couple of weeks ago. After doing some research and discovering all the side effects, I decided not to try it.
