Savella And Intrusive Thoughts

Updated

As I was weaning off of savella, I started to have intrusive thoughts. I already have anxiety, so I know that it's probably fueling these thoughts that I am having. I was wondering if anybody else had this issue from weaning off of savella.

Savella contains the active ingredient Milnaciprin, which is an SNRI, so it does have an effect on brain chemicals and can cause such symptoms, when you are stopping it.

Have you spoken to your doctor about the problem? How bad are the intrusive thoughts?

They are pretty bad; I'm having them every day, with other symptoms such as panic, and BAD depression. I talked to my psych yesterday, and she said that Savella was going to be approved in the US very soon for depression and anxiety along with fibro.
