A member asked:

Do headaches from taking cymbalta (duloxetine) go away.? just started taking it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just started: It's possible headaches are a side effect. However, unless they are severe i'd continue for a few days and they may go away. If you stop and they persist follow up on this symptom and make sure there's no other cause. It may be an error to assume that the headaches and Cymbalta (duloxetine) are connected.

Dr Pappas and another doctor agreed
