I've been on anti-depressants and they didn't do squat for the pain. I tried the older type first (tricyclic ones) and the only thing they helped me with was sleep. The doctor didn't want to risk the side effects for a somewhat improved sleep and he was right. I also tried SSRIs later but I couldn't stand taking them and couldn't get used to them - they also didn't do a thing for the pain.
