New Drug to Treat Fibromyalgia

Forest Pharmaceuticals introduced Savella this fall to treat fibromyalgia, and it might be helpful for a few patients with this debilitating problem. Listed side effects include life-threatening serotonin syndrome or neuroleptic malignant syndrome, severe hypertension, tachycardia, mania, seizures, tripling of liver enzymes, increased risk of bleeding, headaches, constipation, insomnia, urinary retention, and others. Why not try thyroid and adrenal support, yeast treatment, and the many natural methods to control pain and inflammation? They are many times safer and usually quite effective, albeit different combinations are needed for each patient, which eliminates success in double-blind clinical trials.
