Thanks for the advice Eowyn I am glad it worked for you.
Mark I beg to differ with you because the increased dose from yesterday has resolved my headache. What is more it has erradicated the fatigue I was experiencing as well. Clinical trials are indicating that Cymbalta works for Neuropathic pain and Chronic Fatigue.
Cymbalta and Amytriptyline are both SNRIs and they are both effective for people for migraine prevention. Some people prefer Cymbalta, whilst others prefer Amytriptyline.
They are both effective because they are both prescribed by Neurologists for Migraine and as you are aware they are both antidepressants.
Cymbalta and Amytriptyline both restrict widened blood vessels, because they are SNRI's, and Cymbalta has pain killing qualities which are not fully understood by the medical profession.
I don't like the sound of Tricyclic's, Cymbalta is working for me so I won't be changing yet, increasing the dose to the recommended dose for migraine prevention 60mg is the way forward.
