Members shared their experiences with Savella for fibromyalgia, with the overwhelming consensus being that the medication caused significant side effects without providing symptom relief. Several members described severe nausea and vomiting that forced them to stop within days, while others reported debilitating headaches, dizziness, lightheadedness, and disorientation so severe one member was walking into walls. A recurring theme was the frustration of spending months on an expensive medication that either provided no benefit or caused intolerable reactions, with many members also noting similar negative experiences with Cymbalta.

I tried Savella. I lasted 3 days on it - it caused profuse vomiting for me.

I've tried it twice. After several months of no impact either positive or negative I came off of it. Too expensive to be on something that didn't work

Cymbalta really made me feel worst than I was already feeling. I didn't talk it but 3 days.

I tryed it for 3 weeks. Didn't help at all. Made me nauseas and light headed.

These answers were very helpful! I tried Savella one and had nausea, cold sweats, was shaking and was flush. I was considering trying it once more since I can't take anything else, but it looks like it probably will happen again.
