I understand clearly. It is a tough choice. I guess if it was me I would get the 20 mg and hope there is more beads than 5. It really depends on the brand. You might call the pharmacy you use and find out what brand of 20 mg Cymbalta they use. Let me know the brand and I will see what I can find out about the beads.

Ok, my generic for my 30 mg capsule says: manufactured for Prasco Laboratories in Mason OH, but manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma Ltd in Hyderabad, India. My pharmacist at CVS said she can continue to get my refills from the same place if I prefer. I didn't specifically ask her about the 20mg, but I am assuming she would get it from there if I requested that. She didn't know or wasn't willing to tell me how many beads are in the 20mg. I tried looking up the pharma website but it didn't say.

Well after digging all I could find is that the Prasco 60 mg and 30 mg both contain over 300 beads but I found out nothing about the 20 mg capsules. On the other hand Prasco was the first to offer Cymbalta as a generic and was sanctioned by Eli Lilley (so they could get their cut). Before that Prasco was the one that made the brand name Cymbalta for Eli Lilley at the Hyderabad, India plant. It would seem logical that they would continue the same processing method and would have a large number of beads but that is just an educated guess.

Going to see my pcp tomorrow about a cough and congestion I can't quite shake after going on 3 wks. I'm going to be brave and ask her what her advice would be on getting off this drug. I may not agree with her or do what she suggests (I am not the best patient ).... but I will at least listen to what she says. It was her husband (a neurologist) that got me into this mess. We have to look out for ourselves. I learned the hard way.
