HELP! We put in a water saver bathtub faucet and now the water flow is more like a trickle. Are there any tricks that can increase the water flow or do I need to get a new faucet???

A water saver faucet does exactly that - saves water by reducing flow..... You got exactly what you paid for... Replace it with the original... and toss that POS into the trash....

Note that all modern faucets are governed by regulations concerning water flow and usage.What isn't governed is how that is accomplished.It may or may not be a part of the unit which can be removed or modified.

I'm assuming your faucet is one that is designed to use even less water than the regulations mandate.

I agree with the previous post,Install a "normal" faucet which will give you decent water flow and be at least somewhat water saving.
