It may also have been prescribed for pain. Sometimes antidepressnats have effect on chronic pain that is independant of their antidepressant mechanism. It doesn't apply to all antidepressants, but cymbalta is one that is sometimes used for chronic pain.
It can also help anxiety.
If your doctor prescribed it just for depression he may have been misguided, but there may be some grounds in terms of the other symtpoms you are having (pain/anxiety)
