In reply to Savella Low Dose Working, posted by bleauberry on February 13, 2013, at 2:08:37
I give up on things, especially psych meds, really easy. I too took one quarter of a 25mg Savella cap twice a day. I noticed something from the start.....a nice calm feeling, sort of warm, and then a bit later a funny prickly feeling in my skin. Rightly or wrongly I told myself that the warm feeling was the SRI effect and the prickly thing was the NE. That is what made me stop. I didn't feel like forcing myself to get used to it so the side effect (of the prickly skin) would go away.
I wonder if I should have persisted? I liked the calm feeling. I could have taken even less, I suppose and tried to find some dose that was even a little helpful. I don't know how people can start on 50mg/d. It would be quite an experience.
