Common Questions and Answers about Cymbalta generic available

cymbalta

Avatar f tn My insurance company only pays for generic drugs when available as first option, however Cymbalta does not come in generic form from what I understand because I always buy generics but have never rec'd Cymbalta in generic form.
Avatar n tn These are two seperate medications. Call your doctor and explain that you can no longer afford the Cymbalta and he/she can prescribe a generic which will work just as well. I've been on a generic for several years with excellent results! Take care.
Avatar f tn WoW.. Awesome news!!! I took that horrible drug and was progressively getting worse while on it and had to taper myself off of it. Cymbalta, in my opinion should have never been approved by the FDA. You probably don't know this, not many people do, but before the medication was approved and still in the testing stages, 11 , YES eleven negative occurances happened when people were taking this medication.
Avatar f tn m not sure how many of yours, if any would be available in generic now but Wal-Mart had a great $4 per Rx, per month or $9 for 3 months. Walgreens has a similar thing going on but you have to join their prescription discount plan. There are also different drug discount cards that can save you some money on some prescriptions.
1302779 tn?1287405029 Hi. I just wanted to say I was on effexor 11 years. I experienced horrible withdrawal and two years later still have debilitating vertigo and balance issues as well as ringing in the ears and vision issues. I realize sometime people need antidepressants but if it all possible I would encourage people to forgo the. At least research them before you take them please.
Avatar f tn There are other meds available. Neurontin works for some, also Cymbalta. Lidocane patches are useful as well. If you are looking for alternative treatments there is some information in our Health Pages (on the upper right hand side of this page) that may be effective. I wish you the best and feel better soon.
8496079 tn?1398412516 Has the drug Gabapentin (generic for Neurontin) worked for Fibromyaglia pain within a few days of taking this medication for the horrible pain from the Fibro? I was put on Gabapentin (generic for Neurontin) yesterday by my doctor for my Fibromyalgia Condition in addition to the Norco 7.5/325 I can take up to 4 pills day as needed for the massive pain I'm in.
Avatar f tn Well unfortunately, there's little you can do except try and taper down best you can. I would recommend that you try and continue the Cymbalta...or switch to an antidepressant that's available as a generic. The Ultram can cause depression issues (the hydro as well), so stopping an antidepressant with these could be too much.
Avatar f tn Besides, Provigil is scheduled to be available in generic form in 2012. That should make it a little more affordable for you or your insurance company. Don't worry too much Nanci. Nuvigil isn't a drug you have to take every day. If you miss a night's sleep as you adjust to the drug you can always skip it a day and play sleep catch up. Nuvigil doesn't replace your need for sleep so you have to be careful to monitor that you are getting enough.
Avatar n tn t pay for the cymbalta. They require that I use an alternative, generic or have the doc fax the insurance company with the reason why I specifically need cymbalta. I want to come off the stuff anyway. Can i just stop after about a week or so of 30mg? If not what do i do about the insurance deal?

Avatar f tn Due to insurance changes, it will be less expensive for me to take a generic antidepressant in the same category as Cymbalta. I believe it is a Seratonin Uptake. I could be wrong. Does anyone else take Paroxetine (Generic for Paxil) and does it help you with the MS pains? I took Paroxetine before and switched. I think had I been on a higher dose I would have done better on it. Instead, my PCP switched me to Welbutrin (I call it Hellbutrin because it made me CRAZY!!!!!
479581 tn?1317757488 I was watching Mad Money last night and learned that a new drug for fibro called Savella has been approved and should be available by March. It's an SSRI type of med and (oh happy day!!!) weight gain was not listed as a side effect.
Avatar n tn I've been taking Zoloft twice a day (100 mg) for more than 10 years and it is no longer working. I'm interesting in trying to figure out what to try now. I've heard good things about Lexapro (insurance covers) and Cymbalta (insurance does not cover no generic)... So what should I do... I'm so depressed lately - i can't stand it.. just want to isolate and sleep 24/7. no energy or interest in anything... pls help. thank you.
Avatar f tn There are medications that can help alleviate the burning/pain. One of the main ones is Duloxetine, which is a generic for Cymbalta. I take that for my neuropathy… It helps considerably, but doesn’t eliminate the pain. If you look it up, Cymbalta (Duloxetine) is listed as an anti-depressant, but it’s used “off label” quite often for pain. Check with your doctor and see if that might be possibility for you.
Avatar n tn Hi, I switched from Effexor XR to Venlafaxine ER (extended release) - this is available in the generic form. I live in switzerland though so maybe it isn't available in the UK yet as this was only available to me at the beginning of 2009 when the patent was up. I had the same problems with both Effexor and Venlafaxine so my psychiatrist added Wellbutrin extended release and this eased the symptoms significantly as I was also feeling depressed and suicidal.
Avatar m tn s had problems with holding her urine. At times it will just come out. She was put on a med. from the Vet. Does anyone know of a generic brand or natural one that will do the same. I can't keep going back paying office visits everytime she needs a new med.
1442059 tn?1340240952 Feeling pretty down does anyone have anything good to say about cymbalta.? I have high anxiety as well as lupus and a hep c treatment on the horizon. I know they will give me an anti depressant and I was hoping for some input. Most others make me feel bad.
Avatar f tn I could not find that brand name so I talked to the phamacist and he said the active ingredient (dimenhydrinate) . So we found a generic one that makes you drowsy, some have a non drowsy formular. It's a motion sickness medicine. It worked like a charm, another 8 hours and I don't feel hungover this morning. I did take potassium with it. I haven't had natural sleep for years but always took a lot of soma at night and just passed out.
Avatar f tn I have recently started on cymbalta for PTSD and anxiety. I took two weeks at 30mg and now have been taking 60mg for almost two weeks although it seems to be helping me mentally I now have numbness in each of my fingers on both hands? Initially, my hands hurt bad and my fingers were swollen and felt like both hands had fallen asleep but couldnt wake up for like three days.
1345272 tn?1276400328 If you do decide to take it make sure that your Dr. does not prescribe the generic. All the active ingreidents are the same but the fillers are different and have different side effects. I personally had an awful time with the generic and finally my insurance will pay for name brand.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if the generic Harvoni is available in India or Thailand yet as I was told that it would be made available in the last quarter of the year, Im no Einstein but this is the last quarter! Does have any info I can glean some hope from? Frustrated at sweats, no energy, difficulty in thinking and conversing, did i mention no energy, being treated like a second class citizen or at least the stigma of having it! Once I beat hep c, it will just be the Parkinsons to deal with.....
712802 tn?1274645485 Don't take abilify with Cymbalta! I take Cymbalta and then I was also put on abilify shortly before my family and I went on vacation to Disneyworld and it was the worst time I ever had! I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin! I was so agitated and could not sleep. I would pace at night! I did get off abilify when I got back and am just on Cymbalta now and am better but I am experiencing things like headaches and heart palpitations so may be getting off Cymbalta, too.
1258539 tn?1293840202 Overall I think Cymbalta is one of the best medication out there but this have a cost. Cymbalta cost is outrageous and Cymbalta is very hard to stop. I stopped cold-turkey after using it for only 5 months and I had brain zaps for a little more than a month. The withdrawal was quite severe but it is expected with all potent powerful antidepressant.
798555 tn?1292787551 I only have a month left of my rare stash found (generic Armour just called Thyroid). I would like to switch to NT when its available.
