When will I learn?

Good morning,

By chance, I came across this article on Savella, the drug I recently had to stop taking because of extreme dizziness.  To my horror, there are serious concerns about this drug that the FDA approved to treat Fibromyalgia.  Even though the prescribing doctor gave me a prescription to continue taking a low dose, I opted not to start taking it because my new Ob/gyn provided a list of other doctors for me to see that would re-evaluate my entire treatment plan. Maybe this event will finally encourage me to conduct thorough research before popping another new pill.
