A member asked:

If zoloft (sertraline) 50mg helps with my physical pain could that suggest my pain is psychosomatic in nature ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain signals: The improvement of your pain with Zoloft (sertraline) does not necessarily mean that your pain is psychosomatic. Antidepressants, like Zoloft (sertraline), may alter the way your brain interprets pain signals, so you experience less discomfort.
