No, it is technically an Antidepressant. It does however help with pain. Researchers think that it helps block the pain receptors in the brain. It is a fairly safe drug although it can (and usually does) cause EXTREME drowsiness. It should not be taken before driving, etc until you know how it will effect you. Most people continue to become drowsy after taking it so they take it before bedtime. The other most common side effect is constipation.
