Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, also called SNRIs, are a class of medicines that are effective in treating depression. They also are sometimes used to treat other conditions, such as anxiety and long-term pain, especially nerve pain. SNRIs may be helpful if you have both long-term pain and depression.
