I was prescribed Cymbalta by my doctor for migraines and muscle tension headaches. I have read many of the other pain disorder related discussions...anyone else on this for chronic headaches?

Cymbalta is a Selective Seratonin NorEpinephrine ReUptake Inhibitor, not having enough of this in your brain can sometimes cause severe headaches and migraines, so prescribing this type of thing to help treat them is very common.
