Question : I am currently taking tramadol (300mg/day) for fibromyalgia. I would like to ask my doctor to add Savella to my regimen to see if that would help my pain issues when weather changes,etc. XXXXXXX days are hell for me! What do you think?

Brief Answer:
If pain is not well controlled, I will say yes!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this pain. I will side with you on the fact that your doctor should add this drug to see whether it makes a difference or not. Savella is a good drug for this fibromyalgia and it will be good to try and see what difference it makes. If we get no added advantages, we can always stop it.

I hope this helps. I wish well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thanks for using our services.
