Both are anti depressions. Don't take medicine without advised by concern specialist, Orthopedics advised Psychotic medicine even though better you go again to psychotropic for further advise. Sometime pain may be perceived (not feeling real pain) due to psychological factors. Do meditation, have healthy diet, be active for better life.

Flunil and zosert are usually not given together as they are both ssris and almost act on similar receptors. The burning sensation can be part of somatic symptoms/ neuropathy or serotonergic actions of the medications. I feel you can get a second psychiatrist opinion. Good luck.

Dear lybrate user. I can understand. As you are aware, depression is a neuro chemical disorder and therefore the treatment should be targeted towards enhancing or reducing those chemicals biologically. But these medicines are used for maintaining the balance. In that sense, with the present medicines, you will have to continue forever. I suggest online cognitive therapy. Take care.
