Chronic Pain Suicidal Thoughts

3 Topics Found

After taking savella for a month I began having non stop suicidal thoughts. One night I found myself on the suicide hotline. I committed myself to a 1 week lockdown program and they were the ones that told me it was the Savella. That was 2013. It's now 2022 and I have survived 2 serious suicide attempts.

Please use extreme caution when using this drug. My husband is a chronic pain sufferer. His pain doc prescribed it for him. It's very expensive. It also caused suicidal thoughts and tendencies. My husband cried and cried for no reason at all. He stopped taking it immediately. However he was only taking it for a week. It was a horrible experience!! ## Hello, Gingerbread89! How is your husband doing? Gralise contains the active ingredient Gabapentin and it can cause mood swings, as a side effect, in some people that take it, along with headache, dry mouth and weight changes. Thank you for posting this warning for others. ## It us not the same or interchangeable with gabapitine. I was overdosed on it by my dr almost 2 years ago. It was horrible. Stomach burned, could not even keep wate...
