Re: I am doing some research Dana

[Guest guest]

Hi Dana:

I definately believe that people with chronic pain are

also likely to suffer from depression. How can you

not be depressed in situations such as ours? I was

first given Effexor XR four years ago, and when I was

dx with fibro too recently, found that it was also

used for treatment of fibro pain. I have recently

changed from that over to Cymbalta and have found that

to be more effective. It is often used more for nerve

pain in fibro patients, than for their depression

symptoms.
