I have decided to discontinue Savella. I have been tapering it over the last few days and should be done with it today. I have experienced anxiety and sleep disturbance as withdrawal effects.
I have not seen a hint of improvement since the brief response I experienced in week 3. I am unwilling to give it any more time. I have seen this happen too many times in the past. At 200mg, I am very much affected cognitively. I have been dumber than dirt and unable to remember my own name. Since reaching 100mg, amotivation has prevented me from getting anything done, and my lack of interest has worsened. I would not say I was apathetic, though. Effexor 300mg did not affect me in these ways. Neither did Cymbalta.
The only conclusion I can come to is that Savella is not the right drug for me. I would not extrapolate my experience to others.
