It’s used to treat depression and anxiety as well as chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia and nerve pain caused by diabetes. SNRIs work similarly to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), but they also increase the amount of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine in the brain (SSRIs only increase serotonin).
