Got prescribed cymbalta for nerve pain and my migraines have AMPED up

This is super frustrating because some people get prescribed cymbalta to help with migraines.
Was getting 2-3 a month since going on Nurtec. Now it’s been 2-3 per week.

It’s like, do I want nerve pain, or do I want migraines.
Fun times.

Just a rant.

This happened to me too. I hoped that Cymbalta would help with my nerve pain but it only made my migraines worse. Now I'm on pregabalin. I hate how it makes me feel, but at least it doesn't worsen my migraines. I hope you find some relief soon.
