While clinicians have been using antidepressants for off-label indications in the treatment of chronic pain in recent years, newer studies have proven effectiveness and provided additional mechanistic understanding and defined potential adverse effects. As depression and chronic pain are frequently comorbid conditions, the use of antidepressants has allowed for treatment of both conditions concomitantly in the same patient population.
