I would contact your pharmacist if you have ny doubts .Did the pharmacist know you were on hydro ? If not call and ask
I've been taking Savella since late this summer. A few months after taking it, I dropped the 2 80mg oxys I was taking for fibro, no problem. About a month or so later I started a quick taper off of the norco I was taking (about 10 per day), and have been off of them now for I think 25 days. My doctor was the one that pointed out that he thought the reason I was able to do it was because of the Savella. I still have some pain, but so far am managing it with OTC stuff. I'd recommend trying it, with the intention of getting off of the vicodin. Good luck.
yes, the pharmacist knows I'm taking hydro, that's where I get it, I'm not on the savella yet I posted to get feedback on people who have started it before tapering (my w/'ds are more mental, depression and severe anxiety)
taperme, I too take it as prescribed but am completely dependent now and have increased over the yrs to where I now take 6 10/325 a day--thank you both so much for your comments, I'll call my dr. now and keep you posted on how it's going!
