Default Gave Savella my best shot...

Well, I got through the titration pack of Savella...so, now I know what hell is like!! Dizziness and nausea (to the point where I could not drive), spontaneous crying jags, panic attacks, AND no relief from pain AT ALL. My husband said call your doctor, or I will!!
Back on my Pristiq and next day, no bad symptoms! Still pain, but we just deal with that....
I read all the comments on Savella and knew the risks and side effects and really wanted to "stick it out" and not give up, but I seriously could not function...
Hopefully, something else will come along to help us all...anyone else with same experience?
Hope everyone has a good week...

I like you gave Savella my best shot. I wanted it to work. I have PN and a lot of spine pain dues to fusion. Had hoped this would at least help PN. My Pain Specialist gave me a Savella sample starter kit. I thought, or wanted to, that it was helping so I got a prescription. Don't remember the exact side effects; only Savella was not helping at all so I stopped the Savella.
