Yeah, bigtime politics here. Why they leveled their sites specifically on Savella I don't know. There is a financial reason to it that they are not telling us in this article.

A few meds do impact blood pressure in a way that can cause heart problems. I'm thinking Effexor, ALL TCAs, ALL stimulants, and Cymbalta.

The author needs wider glasses. Heart problems or suicide are small risks with any psych med, and in fact are noted on side effect labels of many meds that are not even psychiatric meds.

Increased blood pressure was a side effect seen in clinical trials in a small minority of patients.

Suicide was a side effect seen in Cymbalta trials, but not in Savella trials.

Go figure.

Besides, we all know...at least if you aren't an academia professor type pinhead, that any single one of the psychiatric meds in common use today can drive someone to suicide.

Of course, they blame it on the disease not the med.

And of course, they make it sound as if the one person who had a heart attack or the one person who did suicide, as if you could REALLY prove the med did it??...you can't...well, ok, what about the thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of other people that enjoy an improved life on that same med?

As smart as some of these article authors and politicial activists think they are, they actually advertise their utter stupidity and selfishness instead.

I didn't see any remark about the Europeans rejecting it? Maybe I need to go read it again. Since we can already see the author is way out in left field, whatever comment related to that is not to be trusted.

Be suspicious of the author, not the Savella.
