Which Antidepressants Work Best for Fibromyalgia Pain?

Wednesday January 14, 2009

NEWSBRIEF: A review of literature on antidepressants as chronic pain

treatments supports the use of these drugs for fibromyalgia. This

survey was published in the journal Drugs.

Researchers said tricyclic antidepressants (such as amitriptyline,

doxepin and nortriptyline) have the most solid evidence for being

safe and effective for fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, headaches,

irritable bowel syndrome, low back pain, and cancer pain.

Less evidence supports serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake

inhibitors (SNRIs, such as Cymbalta and milnacipran), and evidence

does not clearly demonstrate a pain-killing effect, they said.

However, positive changes in well-being were reported consistently in

people with fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and migraines
