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.
“learn to live with mild pain.”
To each his own: I’ve been on many ADs over the years for pain and it was no big deal, as long as I complied with a strict titration schedule to get off some of them without a discontinuation syndrome occurring.
