Hi everyone. I have recently been diagnosed as having depression, and my psychiatrist feels my leg pain that I have is being caused by my depression. Does anyone else experience similar problems and has antidepressants helped at all with the physical symptoms ? Any info or advice greatly appreciated.
Jimmy.i cant be certain what meds are you on the meds them self can cause problems ! Ive had depression for several years i recently.had my meds changed and even before that i had muscle pain in my left arm which had me worrying but was told it was more likely to be anxiety thst was causing it ! If its causing you alot of trouble either go back to your phychatrist or even better to your own doctor and see if he can help ! Take care and hope everything goes ok david
Hi David. Many thanks for getting back to me. I had the physical pain before I strated any medication but I have heard they can cause certain side effects. I'm currently on Citalopram as its more of an anxiety problem I have and depression secondary to that. Appreciate your help.
Your welcome i hope things get better soon jimmy take care let us know how youre getting on david
Will do. Thanks David.
Hi Jimmy, I can't be sure as everyone is different but my boyfriend has been having similar issues. He is achy all over and he described his depression (the last time I saw him) as a physical pain. He is on meds for BiPolar and currently awaiting to be put on more which I hope will help him greatly so unable to comment on that at the moment but when I do get to see him again (he has cut everyone off until he starts to feel slightly better) I may be able to help there. Take care though
Hi there. Many thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear about your boyfriend. I hope the meds work and help his pain also. 😊
