40,509 | Savella | ibromyalgia | "Savella works great. But the 1st week of side effects while titrating are uncomfortable. After that, it's great for energy, pain and brain fog though it takes a couple months to see dramatic improvement.

229,479 | Lurasidone | bipolar disorde | "I don't want to bash this drug because it sounds like it is really good for a lot of people.
