Migraines sure do suck! Lol.

I was diagnosed with migraines about 20 years ago when I had a transient ischaemic attack (mini-stroke) and have continued to have migraines pretty frequently since then, so I am very used to them. I have migraines with aura, so I usually get the aura symptoms before the pain starts. I am also familiar with my triggers - disruption to sleep patterns is a big one for me and of course I always get a migraine before my wretched aunt arrives (I'm so looking forward to the end of the curse).

However, I have never experienced non-stop migraines for such a long period of time. I am on day 20 now which is just ridiculous. I don't think last night's horror migraine was caused by Cymbalta. I only took one 30mg tablet. It seems a very extreme reaction to such a low dose. But I'm not a doctor so I don't know. I have called the doctor and am waiting for him to call me back.

I would be really interested to know if anyone else has had a similar experience with Cymbalta. I really hope it wasn't the Cymbalta because I am really hoping that it will help with the CRPS pain. I need to find something that helps me without turning me into a zombie.

I guess since you have been taking it for years you find it helpful and the side effects aren't too bad. Can you remember if you had side effects at first and, if so, how long it took to adjust to the med?
