I suffer from fibromyalgia and lupus. My Rheumatologist, who specializes in lupus & fibro is extremely knowledgeable and I trust him completely. However, to help with some of the more severe conditions of fibro, (you guy's know what I'm talking about!)he prescribed Cymbalta. My problem is, even with insurance, my cost is $94 every 30 days, ins.pays $156 of the $250 total cost...ridiculous!!! My question to all readers is, I know there is not a generic Cymbalta, but is there anything somewhat equivialant to this med. My rhummy said I could try Celexa in exchange...any knowledge on this specific medication? Thanks! Deena

A lot of drugs companies have patient assistant programs. It looks like the one does , look at lillycares.com. Good luck. Prescriptions can be so expensive.

I wish I had an answer for you. I'm glad that 'dinkdoll' knows a little about drug plans. That's good for all of us to know.

You hang in there. Keep us informed on what you end up doing, and how YOU are doing.
