I wasn't convinced antidepressants worked, but several weeks after stopping a low dose of Elavil (10mg/day) I became 'weepy' and my chronic discomfort and pain became noticeably higher. I quit Elavil because it made my ears ring like crazy.
The doctor then put me on 25 mg/day of Zoloft. It seemed to help but I still had a touch of weepiness and could remember better times when I was on Elavil. So the doc bumped me up to 50 mg/day. Now I'm doing better still. I haven't noticed brain fog or loss of concentration.
At this point I'm more or less convinced these drugs help. Tomorrow I see the doc again. The experiment continues.
