Does anyone have any experience where Cymbalta exacerbated your migraine headaches? I'm not sure, but I wonder if the norepinephrine re-uptake inhibitor can aggravate the migraine conditions. Doesn't that cause more epinephrine, i.e., adrenaline, to remain in the brain? And adrenaline is a stimulant.

Cymbalta made my chronic daily headache problem much worse. This was at a wide range of doses (30mg - 120mg), but the higher the dose, the worse my headaches would be.

Thanks for the feedback, Jim. Are your headaches migraine?

Not officially. I don't have auras. But I do get intense tension headaches, nearly everyday.

I got bad headaches from zoloft, I found a combination of taurine, and magnesium helped.

Thanks, Linkadge. I take Magnisium, but what does taurine do?
