Savella And Chronic Thirst
Updated
cloveri Says:
I started savella about a month ago. My Dr prescribed it for fibfomyalgia. My problem now is that I am constantly thirsty, especially at night. My pain relief has been tremendous and I have lost about 9 pounds. Has anyone else experienced being so thirsty?

Dry mouth is a common side effect of Savella, just like it is with many medications, and that usually leads to dry throat, which causes the thirst. It's not a dangerous symptom, just annoying.
In many cases it worsens at night, because people tend to breathe more through their mouths then, especially when sleeping.
Unless you start drinking so much that it leads to fluid weight gain and edema, you're most likely safe to just sip liquids and moisten whenever needed, but you should double check this with your doctor to be sure.
Are there any other questions?
