I just started Savella and have had severe stomach cramping and diarreha. I was on Cymbalta and it was aweful, trazadone seems to have worked for about a month and Neurontin sat me on fire. I really need to find something that works for my Fibromyalgia.
Does Savella cause anyone else's stomach to cramp or have diarreha?

Some side effects with Savella are potentially serious and should be reported immediately to the doc/pharmacist who prescribed the med. Although generally rare, some of these side effects may be more common. These include but are not limited to:
Unfortunately diarrhea has been a side effect associated with medications like Savella, this is a rare but could be dangerous problem, however your doc/pharmacist would give you more accurate & professional advice.

Rajive is right. Also, be careful and keep well hydrated! Drink plenty of fluids until the side effects ease up. Have you tried Lyrica? I have heard good (and some bad) news about this medication.
I hope you feel better soon! I would let your doc know about these side effects.
Best wishes and good luck,
Chris

Good evening Chris, nice to see you online! Rest do no be awake till late, take care, & thanks for the addition to the answer.
I was just logging off and saw your comment. I took a long nap today so I was awake late. Tired now though. Have a good night!
Thanks for the replies. I always keep well hydrated, I drink so much water, my husband wonders where it all goes. I have not tried Lyrica yet. I have had pain for years and they are finally saying that it may be Fibro, so they have been trying me on different meds but nothing seems to work. If Savella does not work, my Dr is looking into Ankylosing Spondolitis as well. Hopefully the Savella will work, once the side effects go away.
