Savella Class Action Lawsuit
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Hi, I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome about 5 years ago and was put on Savella for about 2 yrs. I developed tachycardia and chest pain and will be on a beta blocker for the rest of my life. Anyone else have problems with this one?

Was put on savella Tritiation pack & found my heart beating out of my chest extreme headache sweats walking around criticizing myself like a crazy person and becoming extremely agitated angry almost having blackouts with rage. The stuff is extremely dangerous, I’ve noticed quite a few of the informative websites that were up a few years ago that discussed the violence and aggression that Savella caused in menopausal women and post menopausal women have all been taken down. The power of big Pharma to change our access to information. Run like the plague if somebody tries to put you on this garbage especially if you’re a woman 55 or older. I can’t wait for a lawsuit because I actually had to go to court for trying to hurt someone while I was Huntsville. It could’ve put me in prison . And the doctor got away Scott free. Awful awful stuff

Still trying to come up with the money to pay for a plate. Something has GOT to be done. I called an attorney and they were going to look into it. Haven’t heard a word. What a surprise!!!!

I had rapid heartbeat, chest pains, hives, and high BP. They put me on right after taking me off lyrica for hives, high BP and major water retention in my legs. Was put on furosemide for water retention and had to have allergy shot at ER. Twice if I recall

I'm sorry. I had to start all over, and now get acupuncture once a week and found some supplements that help, even just for awhile.

I was put on Savella and had similar symptoms. After having bad reaction to Lyrica. It was like one nightmare after another. I’m afraid to try any other now.

I don't think there is a classaction suit on this stuff. If you survive taking it, you'll just have to deal with treating the cardiac symptoms or whatever it did to you.

Does anyone know where the Lawsuit stands and if anything is even being done about it?

Yes. My blood pressure went through the roof. I couldn't breathe. Almost had a heart attack. It's because it raised my neuroepinephrine, which narrowed all of my veins and arteries.

My problem was that it made me suicidal. I wasnt on it for long and it became a compulsion to end my life. I found myself on the suicide hotline in the middle of the night in 2013. I was admitted for a week and they took me off Savella. Unfortunately it seems to have rewired my brain. I had one serious attempt but my husband came home early and found me. It's always in the background sort of like a whisper. People are shocked when they learn this about me as I'm a very positive person with a "sunny disposition". I have to list Savella as an allergy so doctors can avoid giving me a similar drug. To put it in perspective, it feels like an delicious dream that tugs at me. I would never say I'm suicidal, but I always have an exit plan. I wear a bracelet that says "STAY" Just in case the compulsion returns. Thank you Savella for my parting gift.

I developed major chest pin and probably would have had a heart attack, had I not stopped Savella. It restricted all of my blood vessels, also making it very difficult to breathe. This happened within a matter of months.

I am still in pain trying to get these teeth pulled and still have to spend a fortune on a full set of teeth. Also, I had an infection in my big toe. I tried everything on the market, but eventually had to have the toenail cut off. I stay furious while dealing with this dental work I'm having to have done. I look terribly going out in public with these 2 teeth sticking out. Something has to be done.

Gozer, I also had to have a molar pulled and a bridge put on because of the large infected area I got when I was on Savella. I also had an unusual urinary tract infection that was difficult to treat. Not to mention the fungal infections of my fingernails, to the point that they were quite loose and painful.I believe Savella does something to the immune system and I haven't had infections since I got off of it.

I was put on Savella several years ago. My biggest complaint was that my mouth stayed SO dry that I couldn't even talk. I was constantly drinking water and using Biotene. I would have had to drink that stuff constantly to help. Nothing helped! I didn't even take it for a year, I think and all this happened just within that time. I have always had great teeth and no cavities. Right after I went off of it, I went to the dentist I had 5 cavities. Right after that, all my top teeth starting chipping off and had to be taken out. Then I had only my two eye teeth left. Got a partial for that and didn't get to wear even a year because my right eye tooth has been loose for months, causing pain and soon after that I lost a huge chunk in the left eye tooth. Now I'm paying a fortune to have all my teeth taken care of and having to get plates. I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS. There has GOT to be an attorney that will take this case. I am FURIOUS!!! I have dealt with the side effects of this medicine for over 5 years. SOMEONE, PLEASE LISTEN TO THESE COMPLAINTS!

I had similar testicle pain. Tested me for every STD known to man. I was in soooo much pain I had to use Ice. I eventually took myself off. My wife, now ex, even thought I had been sleeping around and this drug caused my 14 year marriage to end. I am pursuing a lawsuit at this time on my own.

I am just so sorry for everyone that have problems from this stuff. I would feel pretty good now if it wasn't for the SVT that wakes me up from a deep sleep many times a night.

Omg. Within 2 weeks of starting Savella I started having chest pain. I thought it was due to stress. After being on it for over a month I was rushed to the ER with chest pain and shortness of breath. My bp and pulse were theough the roof. I have fone off of it and have been off for a few weeks, but am not quite back to normal yet. I also seem to have developed a case of asthma at 42 with this.
