> Hi.
>
> I've been having Tension-type headaches for 3 years now with rare "normal" breaks. As time went by, the physical pain came with dark thoughts.
> After I had to quit school because of concetration problems linked with the pain, on the outside, and the emptiness that filled my thoughts I decided to take measures to regain my strength again.
> I've been on Cymbalta for 2 months now and the thoughts have shifted from dark to neutral but the headaches haven't decreased in intensity nor periodicity.
> I'm must say that I'm disappointed in the results as the headaches seem to be biggest huddle in to functioning so that's why I come here, hoping for advice to how I can get rid of these at time paralysing pain....

> I thank you in advanceChronic pain can exacerbate depression and vice versa. I would suggest you see a neurologist if you have exhausted all other avenues, assuming underlying illness has been ruled out by your PCP.
