What have you had the most success with?

I am returning to my Neuro this afternoon to discuss our next treatment.  I had to discontinue Savella yesterday (day 12) due to increased heart rate and a rash on my body.  :-(  For the first time in years, the Fibro "Fog" was lifted on the Savella, my energy returned, and my pain was almost at NONE.  But I am allergic to the medication.

What has worked best for you when it comes to the symptoms I listed above.  I've dealt with many many more Fibro symptoms, but these seem to be the main ones that keep me from functioning well at work daily.

Thanks in advance!

12.5mg 2 times day of Savella has been the best 4 me. the higher dosages of Savella was to much so i was put on low dosages and so far it the best so far. Its now a cure all but seems better than most...good luck

i take 50 mg of pristiq which has really helped with the usual aches from fibro, so much so that i don't have to take the prescribed 800 mg of lodine cept for a couple times a month. it has also helped me be more energetic!
