My doctor and psychologist notice that whenever I'm having anxiety and stress, it's often correlated with a rise in my AS symptoms. I mentioned in a previous thread and some agreed with me that it's hard to tell which comes first, the AS flare or the anxiety.
In any case they suggested I try going on an anti-depressant to reduce anxiety, but mainly to see if the reduction in anxiety also reduces my AS symptoms.
Has anyone ever had success with this? Anti-depressants are no joke, I've avoided them in the past because of side effects, etc. Curious to know before I take the plunge.
