Sounds like withdrawals to me. Google it and see what you find. When I went off Effexor, I went into a 10 month flare!!! Hard to describe how horrific it was.

Oh my, I hope it don't last that long! A slug has more energy than I do right now and I'm sure the slug feels better too!

Yeah, I hear ya!!! Part of the problem I had when going off Effexor was that it destroyed my ability to sleep. I don't think I got into a stage 4 sleep the whole time, and if I got more than 2 hours of sleep a night, it was a miracle. Hope you get feeling better.

I wouldnt take that junk if ya paid me... my doc is very ahhh not happy with me... he has offered all the drugs for this crap.. but I refused....

To me.. now this is me... our bodies were not ment for all the garbage drugs they are handing out... nor do we know how safe they are in the long run..

for those of you that these drugs have help... god bless ya... for me... our bodies are a unique piece of work.... and anything foreign conflicts with our body chemistry...

but.. that is my thinking anywho... I dont like hardly any drugs... but.. I do suffer.. but ... my fear of these drugs out weighs the scary things of these drugs... '

hope ya feel better soon hun... probably your body is still in withdraw from that savella.... poor girl.. hugs.. :)

I had a horrific experience with Cymbalta and I said never again after that. My pain doc reluctantly offered Savella and I said NO WAY JOSE. I will never take any NEW meds ever again. They DONT know how we will react at all. We are the drug companies guinea pigs and they can get away with a certain amount of casualties from it as well which is appauling. Truly the only synthentic med that helps my pain is Hydrocodone. It is actually less damaging then all those anti-depressants and other pills they give us. I would say it sounds like withdrawals for you too.

Did they wean you off? I had to be weaned off THREE TIMES with Cymbalta. It was unreal. Had to take another pill to take the edge off still. UGH.

My doctor gave me a trial pak of Savella to try. I researched it extensively and decided there was no way I was going to try it. One of the problems with it is how long it takes to wean off if you decide you want to stop. So yes, you're probably going to have withdrawal symptoms for a while.

I am sorry your going through this. I was not able to take lexapro and my doc. opted against Savella because of my problems with meds. so I can not say much other then I sure hope you feel better very very soon.


take care gentle hugs

I took this for 3 days and was nauseated and threw up each day I took it and for a couple after I stopped... they need to take this off the market !!! Hope you get to feeling better soon :)

I am getting off Savella too, it helped with pain but doctor and pharmacy keep jerking me around and I'm off again on again I give up. Anyone else having trouble with getting meds?
