Side Effects from Anti-depressants???

[Guest guest]

Has anyone had any painful side-effects from anti-depressants? I have

taken Elavil, Paxil, Zoloft, Cymbalta, Lexipro and many others for the

last 20 years or so for migraines. I had severe joint pain after taking

them. As a matter of fact, this was how I was diagnosed with RA 7

years ago. But I, not the DR narrowed down the cause of symptoms by

journaling for 15 years. Now my DR wants to put me back on them. Has

anyone else experienced this at all? I document everything I eat, the

weather, meds etc to help pin-point when flares will arise and now I'm

afraid of taking more meds for depression when THE PAIN is what is

causing the depression. Any advice will be appreciated!
