In reply to Terrible headaches with Cymbalta..., posted by TrishP on April 26, 2006, at 9:19:09
Hi there. I had terrible headaches starting up on Cymbalta, and at each increase in dosage. Most medications give me headaches when I first start them, come to think of it.
I don't know if it's due to half-life or not. I'm pretty vigilant about taking my medications at the same time every day.
But the Cymbalta headaches, which were not even TOUCHED by any OTC treatment, subsided on their own after several weeks. I kind of stumbled around alternating hot and cold compresses, and they were the only relief I had. Hang in there if you're able to. Don't think about the possible discontinuation problems until you get to that point, OK? I think I'll be on Cymbalta for a long time.
