I'm wondering if anyone has heard (or ever used) a drug called Savella. I'm looking for non-narcotic treatments for pain and a nurse friend mentioned it to me. I looked it up and found there can be some withdrawal from it but according to what I read, if you taper off, it's fine. Becoming dependent on oxycodone has left me worried about trying anything that says you need to taper off it, even if it's not a narcotic. I had tried Cymbalta for pain in the past and was never told there can be withdrawal from that and was surprised to find that out when I went off it. I'm hoping when I'm finished with my taper I can treat the pain with OTC medication along with some topical gels.
