Chronic Pain and AD's

Posted by Buckeye Fan on July 10, 2004, at 13:37:19

Confirmed at my MD Appointment yesterday, that indeed AD's do provide some relief from chronic pain.
Had experienced an upshoot in some old arthritis
knee pain sice discontinuing Effexor...and Doc said it was normal to once again feel chronic pain.

If someone has time( I remember the post, but cannot seem to find it) WHY does Zoloft & Effexor
lesson Chronic Physical Pain?

Thanks
B.F.

Generally the noradrenic medications are most effective at alleviating chronic pain. Amitryptaline, effexor, desipramine, nortriptaline all provide some degree of pain relief.

There is a strong tie between the noradrenic system and the opioid system.
