Their review of the results was sobering: The trials on the effect of antidepressants on chronic pain appeared so small, and yielded such poor data across the trials, that they only felt confident about the efficacy of a single one of the 27 antidepressants that were tested,  duloxetine.

My Dr said I could try different anti depressants for their anti inflammatory functions.

The pain clinic literally only offered me antidepressants for my chronic pain and I’m already on antidepressants and they don’t help.
