Hi lps, I wanted to welcome you to HW forum we are happy to have you. I dont take Cymbalta so I cant answer your question directly. According to the Nursing Drug Reference there doesnt appear to be any interactions with Advil so you can give it try if you like....but you may want to consult your Pharmacist before hand just to double check. If the headache doesnt get better in a few days you may also want to notify your physician who prescribed the medication and let them know. Please keep let us know what happens. Take care

Welcome lps, Sorry you are having headaches with the Cymbalta. Only side effect I have is DRY MOUTH and I mean DRY! I have to carry bottled water in my purse at all times. I get so dry that I cannot even speak sometimes, for my tongue is stuck at the roof of my mouth. Other than that Cymbalta is my best friend these days. Best to you, lps. God bless!!!!
