Chronic pain and depression

[Guest guest]

I have had chronic pain for 17 yrs in the form of migraines. The pain

affected my moods as well as the rest of my body. They put me on

Prozac, Zoloft Paxil, and I started swelling. They assumed it was an

allergy, so just switched me to another drug. They gave me Effexor and

Elavil and my joints went crazy and got huge. After 6 DRs, they

finally diagnosed me with RA. I now take NO antidepressants at all, as

they seemed to make my flares worse. I am now on Humira, but I need to

know how long is a reasonable amount of time for the drug to actually

work, or have it be " failed " and move on to another drug? Any input

would be greatly helpful!!!

Thanks!
