In reply to SSRIs for chronic pain?, posted by Kat26 on September 2, 2002, at 6:54:42
Hi Kat,
SSRIs can help in chronic pain problems.
I suffer from severe lower back pain which has been waking me up every morning after 5 hours of sleep. Nothing helped (for years) but after going on celexa 40 mg for other problems, the pain was greatly reduced. Stopping the celexa brought the pain back.
Does your dad know what is causing his bachaches? If he has been examined and knows that his problem does not stem from something that needs some other kind of treatment, perhaps he can ask his physician about SSRIs.All the best,
Kari.
