You should talk to your doctor about the headaches sooner rather than later. The longer you are on cymbalta the harsher the withdrawal symptoms from it can be. But cymbalta is known to cause headaches

Can you take Cymbalta with fluoxetine?

There is no known interaction between cipro and cymbalta. So you *should* be fine. Note that cymbalta is pretty new, and it's had a checkered past with the FDA, so you really should be having this chat with your doctor who, in turn, should be watching you pretty closely, as cymbalta has quite a few physiological side-effects. This is one I'd very much avoid self-medicating with. Honestly, I've been on Cymbalta now for just over a year, and also have a history of urinary problems which often are improved with Cipro. That said, I was told by my doc never to take cymbalta with cipro as the cipro can increase the effect of the cymbalta markedly (by about 2-3 times). With all of that out of the way - this week I was prescribed cipro for another urinary infection and discussed the potential for interaction with my pharmacist. He told me to take the cymbalta every 2-3 days (I feel like hell without it after ONE day, honestly), and continue as normally for the full seven day course of the cipro. I can live with that - I just wish someone would come up with a better option.

Do you have to wean off lexapro to start taking Cymbalta?

Cymbalta is an SNRI, meaning it increases both serotonin and norepinephrine, while lexapro is an SSRI, meaning it increases only serotonin. These drugs that inhibit the reuptake of neurotransmitters MUST BE SWITCHED GRADUALLY. If switching from cymbalta to lexapro, the physician should induce a "step-down" therapy on the cymbalta while inducing a "step-up" therapy on lexapro. This ensures a level amount of drug in the blood, and minimizes the chance of recurrence and adverse effects.
