@blt054 My neurologist prescribed Savella to me because of my intense pain that was just sciatica at first but now is affecting most of my body. Luckily I red the contraindications. With 2 medications I was currently taking taking Savella could cause immediate blindness without any signs or symptoms. I called the Neurologists office and at first they disagreed with me. I persisted and they finally said "stop taking immediately" but no reason given. Luckily I had read about the possible effects first. I have an unrelated question. Why do I have to keep updating my medications in whatever Epic portal my provider is using if they are not going to check for contraindications? At this point every part of my body is in pain.
