I realized the other day that I haven't seen any cymbalta commercials in awhile. Did a little research here and online, and can't find anything...Are they still on & I'm just not seeing them?

Hi Shellbell

 

Cymbalta went generic on December 11,  2013. Maybe that's why the ads aren't seen; don't know.

Thanks, TM....I did not know it was that recent for the generic.  I had only one prescription filled with it then - Dec. 21.  I went cold turkey when that prescription was gone. 60 mg/day - 30 in am and 30 in pm.  Interesting...

That's interesting I asked my Dr about a generic . She said that they didn't have one.

Here' an ad from Torrent Pharmaceuticals USA for their version of Cymbalta (duloxetine). They call it SYMBAL.

 

Symbal (Duloxetine) is a new-age antidepressant offered by Mind to combat not just the emotional aspects of depression but also the physical symptoms such as aches, pains, and gastrointestinal disturbances that accompany major depressive disorders (MDD). It is the first in a new class of anti-depressants known as Selective Serotonin Norepinephrine Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSNRIs) that ensures rapid and sustained efficacy in the treatment of both emotional and physical symptoms of depression.

 

Sounds like a miracle drug!!
