"I&#039;ve been on Savella since 2010 (5 years).  I had tried Cymbalta and Lyrica prior to Savella--both of those made me gain so much weight I became depressed.  Savella was amazing after the two weeks of hellish side effects to get on it.  I had brain zaps, manic phases, irritability, sweating, and sleeplessness--then no symptoms for 4 years.  In the last year, I&#039;ve developed tachycardia--which I blame on Savella.  Interestingly, I&#039;ve also developed idiopathic anaphylactic allergies in the last year. All in all, I think Savella did it&#039;s job and pulled me out of the cycle of pain.  It practically cured my vulvadynia. But I would have had another child if the pregnancy side effects were known."
