Hi,iam suffering from seviere upper back pain,there is no problem in mri scan,doctor sujested to take dulot 20 mg for 3 months,but this capsule is using fot anti depression?why he prescribed for me?can start to take this capule?is there any side effects?
Hello, back pain mild to moderate may occur due to postural causes. When severe there may be underlying problem. But as ur MRI is negative, it may occur due to somatoform disorder i.e without actual pathology but due to chemical imbalances in brain. So ur doctor might have suggested u the anti depressant medication. The side effects are present but are mild. So it's better if u use them and have regular consultations with ur doctor to review ur symptoms n side effects. Don't worry n take care. All the best.
