I've repeatedly tried AD's for pain. Each one made me feel worse - like Bannet said, full of rage, rude, cranky, you name it. Only Elavil sat okay with me - it's not an SSRI or SSNRI, it's an old fashioned tricyclic, whatever that is.

But that must be why it didn't bother me. (made me tired, but what's new?)

Still at wits end with pain and no docs willing to RX anything pain med wise, I was almost at the point of giving in and trying Cymbalta. Glad I saw this. I'll spare myself the trouble.
