Dr. Look is not a responsible doctor. She prescribed me Savella last year to repalce my anti-depressant, even though Savela is not an anti-depressant. She advised me not worry about it, to continue using it. After two weeks of the worst depressive episode ever in my life, I told her I needed to be put on the old anti-depressant. She argued, saying I was bi-polar and advised me to see a shrink for a proper diagnosis. After I declined, she contacted my husband at work, advised him I was bi-polar, a physical threat to myself and refusing care. My husband asked me to see the shrink she referred and after a half an hour with the shrink, was told I suffer mild depression but was not bi-polar. The shrink also questioned why I was on Savella. She stopped caring about treating me, broke my trust by going behind my back, upset my husband and our life and worse of all, the Savella could have killed me. I won't recommend her to anyone as she is too busy to properly care for her patients.
