A member asked:
Had back/sciatic pain in past until i started an antidepressant.all my nerve pain came back after i stopped.is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: Normal is not the issue. It may be common that the problems which were relieved would return. The medication did not correct any of the physical issues - only allowed you to not experience them the same way. Discuss this w/ the doctor. There might be corrective measures or you might go back onto the anti-depressants. Best!
