my blood pressure was alway normal 120/60. since taking savella it stays at 150/80. I am almost completely off the medicine, but BP still high. will it eventually go back to normal?

I think it would be best to wait till you are completely off the medication to fully evaluate your blood pressure; but you should still keep note of it in the meantime so you can show this to your doctor for comparisons.

The medication seems to still be built up in your system even though you may not be taking it as frequently as before; but you are doing good to ween off of it and not stop cold turkey. I am not a doctor however I think it should go back to normal if this medication is the cause of the high blood pressure.

It would also be wise to keep track of your dietary habits; if you are consuming more or less sodium or other foods that impact blood pressure readings. Ideally more fresh organic fruits, vegetables, and some herbs like garlic can help keep it under control. Hope this helps some!
