I took my mother to the doctor for pain she has had for a long time. The doctor put her on antidepressants, but she’s not depressed. She’s in pain. What can I do?

Well, antidepressants have been found to help ease chronic pain. In low doses, antidepressants have helped adjust the chemicals that play a role in pain perception. They have actually become a common and useful way to manage chronic pain. If your mother is experiencing other unwanted side effects, visit your doctor to talk about them.
