Pain Management Specialist Questions Antidepressants

Can anti-depressants cause body pain?

I am on antidepressants, but I have been experiencing a lot of pain in my body since I started taking them. Do they happen to be connected?

This is very unlikely for antidepressants to cause pain, as most of them are used to treat chronic pain. Depression itself can exaggerate pain symptoms. If you continue to experience pain, you need to see your primary care physician cause of pain.
