Well, if you end up going that route, you know there are no guarantees. But here's a bright spot. You do not need to stop Pristiq before starting Savella. In Japan Savella is commonly prescribed in combination with Paxil or Luvox. Yeah that's right, a SSRI + SNRI combo. So it might not be as rough as you anticipate. You could cross taper or maybe even find a sweet spot with both at some lower dose.
