I asked him, “Are they trying to make you happy about being on the ground?”

Too bad about those pesky side effects. Like shooting up the workplace, killing your own children and suicide.
How bad pain is, in the doctor’s office’s scale of 1 - 10 is really subjective, it depends on one’s tolerance for pain. I’m constantly in pain, thus chronic and be damned if I’ll take an anti depressant for it. This day and age of a drug for this, a drug for that and a person’s system will be so messed up it’s pathetic.
Years ago before the medical profession teamed up with big pharma to be constantly pushing drugs, many people just dealt with it and got on with life.
Now TV adds are just flooded with all the prescription meds, some admit a 35% greater risk of death, and people still go for all they can. Proof is those taking the 5th covid shots.
Sorry for the rant, but fewer meds are better meds. Don’t be a pansy, learn to live with mild pain.

Duloxetine cured (did not just relieve symptoms) my chronic sciatica. It did not help my neck pain. In the beginning, I had reduced the dosage because of side effects and after a couple of weeks the pain started to come back. Raised the dosage and it eventually disappeared. After a year on the drug I gradually reduced the dosage and no more sciatica.
“I have a pain.”
“Here’s a pill.”
Will it never end? (rhetorical, re the idiocy)
At a lecture I attended a few years ago at an American Psychiatric Association conference, they stated that emotional and physical pain folliws the same neural pathways.
Thus taking a pain killer for physical pain also works for emotional pain.
