Suggest Remedy For Severe Headache And Confusion After Taking Wrong Dosage Of Cymbalta

My Doctor put me on the generic to cymbalta 3 months ago, I have been on 90 mgs. I've been having severe headaches and confusion for the last month or two. I knew something was not right but was too confused to realize untill today that the pharmacy had made a mistake and prescribed that I take 3- 60 mgs a day which I have been doing so . I called them and they told me to drop it down to the 90mgs a day and they were so sorry...I. Worried I could be in danger. I would like your proffesional opinion. I currently have another severe headache .
Thank You,

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this confusion that led to you taking more cymbalta than actually required. The goo news is that you have realized this and that has been corrected. There is no long term complication that would result from this. The symptoms would gradually decrease and fade out in the next weeks and months. Try some tylenol for headache relief.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
