Ask any man with FMS whether they found SSRI's helpful and they will tell you No! The most prescribed drug of this type is amitriptyline. It is a poor analgesic and it causes severe sexual dysfunction in men. While an SSRI may raise serotonin levels this does little for the disease. The treatment of FMS is whofully neglected partly because it is not understood but also because of the bias towards thinking it is a "form of depression" and that exercise is the answer.
