    I've never heard of SSRI's being used for pain as a primary symptom before. I know that anxiety and depression can cause physical pain, so taking care of the stress/anxiety through medication can ultimately relieve the physical aspect of the symptoms. But those are, again, secondary symptoms.

    Apparently it’s a thing. I “officially “ told the doc I won’t be taking it and why. Hopefully there are alternates for people like me.
