Lyrica To Savella

I was on Lyrica 75 mg for 14 days, 150 mg for 1 day. Had nausea, headache, drunk-like feeling. Doctor took me off after 15 days. The very first day off, I had the worst pain in my abdomin, nausea, bad headache & unable to eat. After 2 weeks doctor started me on Savella. It has been 5 days on it & I have not been able to eat anything but 1 - 2 bites of food a day. Nausea so bad I had to have my husband stop on the side of the road after 3 minutes of driving. My abdomin feels like I have been poisoned. I am waking up 15 times a night, while taking 10 mg of Ambien at night. Bad headache & severe fatigue. Diarreah for 4 weeks now. Anyone else have this?

Have you contacted your doctor about this?

While the nausea, sleep issues and vomiting can be normal side effects of both the Lyrica and the Savella, they shouldn't be that severe.

It could be that neither one of these are the right medications for you and you may have to keep trying various ones, until you find one that works and doesn't cause such severe side effects.
