anyone tried savella

I have just started to use Savella (I am on the starter pack). It is for Fibromyalgia, but has proven effective with IC, much like Lyrica, without the groginess and weight gain. Has anyone had any success with this? If so did it help with pain and/or frequency? Both have been pretty bad for me lately so I am keeping my fingers crossed. Would appreciate any feedback - thanks

savella

I lasted two days on this medication as it made me way to nauseated to continue it

My PCP gave me a starter pack yesterday for the pain I'm experincing in my neck and shoulder from a pinched nerve in my neck. I started it last night. Never even thought whether or not it might help with IC. That would be an added bonus.
