I think Savella is a good appetite suppressant. I don't seem to gorge myself like I used to. It doesn't feel anything like an SSRI to me. No sedation. Ever! No cognitive impairment, memory impairment. I don't feel medicated. I feel like my natural self except for the headache and perspiration.
My sleep is improved but not perfect from Savella. I wake up after 5hrs of sleep, take my morning dose and I'm back to sleep for 3 more hrs. The afternoon dose is taken 6hrs before sleeping time. Deep sleep is something new for me since being on Savella.
I haven't found any med that has helped with social anxiety as much as Savella, except Nardil. I can't contribute all of my improvement to Savella because I'm also taking a number of supplements and herbs, most important Gotu Kola which has a stunning effect on sociability. I forgot to mention, I don't think it helps with my arthritis pain
I think Savella should be investigated further for it's benefit on sleep and anxiety. I hope this bit of rambling can benefit someone.
