Today is day 1 going from 120mg to 60mg. ive been on cymbalta for several years now for migraines. ( my guess is about 3 year)
wondering if it will cause depression even though im not on it for depression. anyone on it for migraines??

Dear Laura:
From all the posts I have read on this site, I´ve seen that during withdrawal people get moody and depressed, although they took cymbalta for other issues different to depression (Fibromyalgia).
But it is just a withdrawal symptom that will go away, the medication shouldn´t cause depression.
The fact that there is people on this site who have experienced depression symptoms during withdrawal, doesn´t mean that you will. We are all different

I took Cymbalta for depression, but noticed that my frequent migraines stopped while taking it. I have been weaning down and have been off completely for about 1 week and my headaches have already made a comeback. I'm not sure if it's the migraines returning or just a withdrawal effect. I have not had any depression during the withdrawal process or in the past week since being completely off.

I wasn't taking Cymbalta for migraines but I did notice I did not get them while on it. Now, I'm weaning off and hoping like crazy I don't have rebound migraines.
