I also take restasis for dry eye syndrome.Should I take the savella which my doctor prescribed? I don't want to have a heart attack or anything. Please help. Thank you .

The only known interaction is between Lisinopril and Savella, which may cause a decrease in blood pressure. Otherwise it does not have any interactions with your other medicines. I would say it would be safe to take so long as your blood pressure is monitored.
Effects of interaction stated below:
Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation. Coadministration with antihypertensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.
