Does anyone know how SSRI's decrease pain? I have read that sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. But for me they did. However, the side effects are so bad that I cannot take them. If I could figure out the pain reducing mechanism of SSRI's, perhaps I could figure out another thing to try.
I don't know if the SSRI"s reduce pain because of the increased serotonin or something else. I have tried to increase serotonin naturally and it didn't help. I have also read recently that increased serotonin in the prostate is a cancer marker, so that leaves me uneasy about that route.
