I take Savella along with Pristiq.  Not sure which one is working, but together I am feeling much better!

Savella does not take the place of lyrica,at least for me it hasn't. I was taking lyrica/cymbalta until recently when it seemed to stop helping. My doctor switched me to lyrica/savella,and I am on day 11 of the titration pack. without any bad effects. My energy has increased, and I hope that continues,and my pain has been helped alot. I guess I was one of the lucky ones, I gained no weight with lyrica,even lost some  :)
