Savella??
My doctor gave me a new drug called Savella. It's for Fibromyalgia, but she said it works through the bladder also. I had to go off my Zoloft first and the time I was taking Savella I had horrible back pain and had 4 flare ups. LOL Yeah, not good. I had to go off the Savella for other reasons, but I was wondering if anyone has heard of Savella.

I have been taking Savella
My Dr. gave it for fibro. I was taking Lyrica and had to stop due to memory sideffects. I am weaning off the Savella now. I don't know if it is the Savella making my bladder worse of if the Lyrica was working so well, but I have had 5 weeks of pain and torment.
