Petesmom,
I was interested that an antidepressant was prescribed for joint pain so decided to "google" it and found this. I am a retired nurse and like to keep up on things like this. When I decided to quit smoking my doctor prescibed Wellbutrin to help me and it worked. I have been smoke free for almost 8 years. And now here comes another miracle use for an antidepressant. I have some arthritic changes anyway and Arimidex hasn't improved that so I am considering asking my internist what she thinks about Cymbalta.
Thanks for the info.
Marlys
PS: Elavil is the name for amiltryptiline
