Hi FB,
I started 12.5mg Savella a couple days ago. (I'm using a pill splitter)
The next few days I will take 25mg per day, and then increase from there.The Prozac withdrawal started about a week ago..my pdoc just had me stop taking the med since the metabolites stay in your system up to 5 weeks..
Good for you on finding a new doctor! And I hope you can get a full trial of EMSAM--I know last time it interfered with your sleep.
Best,
