Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns
Depof 37 is anti-depressant drug.I think that your doctor prescribed it to relieve mental stress as it may aggravate your pain.
With such presentations in my clinic, I would first rule out any cause for arthropathy by ding the following investigations(CBC,Rheumatoid factor,ESR,CRP,ANA,serum uric acid).
