Sorry everyone, after looking up Cymbalta, it was not one of the drugs that's on this site. I have heard that some drug company will help once you hit the donut hole. The ones that do help, you can send in the form once you're at $1,000 before you get to the donut hole. Sorry I can't help with Cymbalta, Todd in CC, TX

You can find out whether a Patient Assistance Program is offered by the manufacturers of the drugs you take by visiting our Pharmaceutical Assistance Program site. This is from www.medicare.gov .

I found this Canadian website: http://www.northwestpharmacy.com/ProductSearch.aspx?s=cymbalta I can't remember if we can or can not buy prescription drugs from Canada - thanks to BIG PHARMA! If you go this website notice the prices on the generic duloxetine and Cymbalta. Cymbalta for one month is $9 more than I have to pay on Medicare Part D! Also, look at this website - http://www.answers.com/topic/duloxetine It explains why duloxetine isn't sold here in the US - thanks BIG PHARMA & FDA - they do (not) work for the people - only the few! The "doughnut hole" is that point in Medicare Part D where drugs are NOT paid for, in part, by insurance. I also thnk that it is being raised from the $2500 to $3200 threshold for 2010.

Canada lists this as a generic and at half the price. Wondering if I should try this during the "doughnut hole" problems - almost $1100 for all meds during this period. Life is short!
