I was on this meditation for 3 days, will never take it again it should be taken off the market. It caused me to have a brain bleed, went the Drs. asked if I had taken any new meds, I said yes, told them and they all went wide eyed, they said this has been happening a lot. Now I'm in worse shape then I was before taking savella
