Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

what many people may not realize is that they're being prescribed for a lot more ailments than depression. They are now being used to treat nerve pain in diabetics with neuropathy and nerve pain for people with MS. There's even one anti-depressant out there (Nortriptyline) that can treat the burning pain people with shingles feel.

Hmm... now that I think about it, a lot of anti-depressants come with the side effect of increased appetite. Might be another reason for America's expanding waistlines.
