Analgesic effects of antidepressants alone and after their local co-administration with morphine in a rat model of neuropathic pain.
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, the results suggest that when amitriptyline (but not doxepin or venlafaxine) is locally co-administered with morphine the effectiveness under neuropathic pain is enhanced, although additional studies are necessary to explain differential mechanisms of interaction of antidepressant drugs with morphine after local administration.
