When I was on paxil I had muscle pain and worsened headaches which I didn't reallize were from the SSRI until I got off of it.
I'm a massage therapist and based on client information (I see a lot of people with chronic pain) it seems to be the norep. not the serotonin that helps with pain. I have clients who have gained relief from Wellbutrin, nortriptyline, desipramine and effexor. Non of the SSRIs on there own have helped with pain relief. Again, totally anecdotal.
