I have never had a headache with Duloxatine. Keep an eye on it, and mention it to GP when you next visit.Obviously, if it gets worse, make an appointment and tell them sooner.

The headaches lessen with time but if you can take an alternative please do. I am now addicted to this drug. Tried and failed to get off it as my body and mind react dreadfully. I rue the day I ever started taking it and only wish I could be rid of it.

Hi again it might be side effects of starting a new tablet , if you have any concerns I would speak to your doctor.

Sometimes these side effects get better after about a week. Unfortunately, in my case my headache just persisted and I felt so ill as it was also starting to make me feel nauseous all the time my gp took me off it. Hope you feel better soon.x

Yes I had a few days like that and started them at night time to escape these exact symptoms. I gave it a week and it passed. And although Duloxetine doesn’t work for some it helped me greatly. X
