Cymbalta...

[Squater]

I decided I needed to go back on cymbalta because of the mood swings as of late.....but now without any insurance the cost is just not realistic..between office visits and the outrageous cost of it

I've been off since April...if anyone wants to know that

Anyone on it...? I sure could use the help

a few options

Ask for samples: years ago, my buddy peddled this medication to psychiatrists and his house was full of Strattera and Cymbalta from floor to ceiling. Many physicians can talk to drug reps about obtaining samples.

What type of medical provider are you using? One way of cutting costs is to see a nurse practitioner, maybe every 6-months.

Here is an offer for a free sample: **broken link removed**

Depending on the dose you are prescribed, ask for a larger dose and fill empty gelatin caps with your typical dose (does not have to be exact). To my knowledge, they do not monitor blood levels with Cymbalta.

Most states have a community (mental) health program offering nearly free services and prescriptions. Not sure about eligibility.

Canadian Pharmacy?

Why Cymbalta? Have you tried other psychotropics? Mood swings? Depression, anxiety?

Thanks Overman..

I was on Cymbalta 2 or so years ago when I was dealing with a nasty divorce and it made a huge difference in my quality of life...


My girlfriend is looking into the either a Urgent care or another source..



My Blue Cross ran out in april and I certainly can't afford an $1,100 a month premium when I'm not working steady in my usual union job...


Any particular Canadien Pharmacy that you trust..?

It's ridiculous...I can find any drug off the street but I can't afford something like Cymbalta..

other ideas

No problem.

Again, these are just suggestions:

They have specific eligibility requirements- not sure if you qualify.

Any 'Canadian Pharmacy' will do- just google it. I am unfamiliar with a reputable place. Several individuals here, I believe, order Humalog from various Canadian pharmacies. I would call and ask them to walk you through the ordering process. I found a site offering 200 30mg capsules for about $150.00. I also researched the U.S. price on Costco....horseshit!

Consider alternative medications, depending on symptoms and severity. Always consult with your med provider about any changes/appropriateness of medications. If it is more agitation/rumination, consider fluoxetine (20 or 40mg) with a little mirtazapine at night (7.5 mg) or even short-term use of a benzo. Maybe $20.00 at Costco. Always AVOID Walgreens, CVS, etc. Make sure your SLEEP is in check as this will exacerbate (even cause) mood disturbances!!

Psychotherapy may be helpful. I can provide some materials/information if you so desire. Not a deep psychoanalytic exploration of early childhood or attachment, but rather practical techniques to increase your effectiveness and coping skills/mood management.

There are some generics out there (India?), but I'm not sure I'd trust it. Cymbalta has done very well for me. If I can find anything helpful (other than what's already posted) I'll add it to the thread.

I've ordered from this website before and the service was great.
Not sure if this is cheaper or not but I'll post.

Seem generic would be the way to go. it did take 2 weeks for package to arrive.

Check around online. there are other drugs out there with generics that are just as beneficial as cymbalta

I think you may want to look into alternative antidepressants. Cymbalta has actually been under scrutiny over the past months due to adverse side effects. Don't risk your health, the mind is stronger than it seems. You can overcome whatever problems you have without the aid of a drug.

cymbalta is the f'in devil...i am currently writing a story for a major online publication about my ordeal...your mood swings are due to the cymbalta not a result of a lack of it. I hate seeing this shit because i know the damage it causes to the brain and how long it takes to repair it. PM me i will send you some information.

What sides and at what doses?
