Is there a generic version of Cymbalta 60mg yet?

Posted by apportee @apportee, Jun 19, 2016

I have been taking Cymbalta 60 my for 3 years. It has worked for me. I picked up my medicine last week, the color of my Cymbalta has changed. I am taking it now and it feel like it is not working. I feel like I am nothing. What could be the problem. There is not a generic for Cymbalta yet, is there?

Hi @apportee. Welcome to Connect. We're glad you've joined our community. I did a quick search on drugs.com and there is a generic for Cymbalta but if you received the correct dose, it should have still been the same color. Can I ask what color the pill was? Also, have you called your prescriber to let them know what's going on?

I'm tagging @blindeyepug @workwithkids @salena54 @dlady and @bobsconnect who also take Cymbalta. Have any of you experienced the same thing @apportee is describing?

Kelsey, the old generic was blue and white. The generic I am taking one is green and yellow. It is just not working for me.<br><br>

Yes, there is a generic for cymbalta. It is called duloxetine. I am <br>getting off of it<br>because it messes up my urination frequency. - Warren<br>

Omg. I have been on Cymbalta for 5 years for my fibromyalgia and have had problems with lack of urination. Commented to my GP, took some tests and they found nothing wrong. I guess it is time to make another appointment. Thank you so much for your input. <br><br>

On Duloxetine my depression improved and hip pain vanished (arthritis), but I became very quickly irritable and had to stop. Currently I'm taking 20 mg of escipalotram and 2mg of Abilify with marked improvements since adding the Abilify.

I was on Cymbalta for 3 years, the generic brand and it worked for me. The pharmacy I get my med from toyed a new pharmacy company that also made a generic brand of Cymbalta. Well it did not work for me. I became very depress. So my doctor put me on a new med called fetmine. It made me sick. I had a lot of bad adverse reaction. So he stopped it. I am no longer on it. Just waiting for my diastolic blood pressure go down before he start me on something else.

I have taken duloxitine 120 mg. daily for over 6 months now and my mood has improved greatly. I never took anything but generic. My capsule is navy blue and army green. Please note that different dosages of the same medication will be a different color. I have been on every anti--depressant in the book (except the newest drugs, and the MAOI's?) and I have responded to some but they didn't last. I actually feel almost normal again on this. I have constipation which has worsened since I'm on duloxitine but I also have IBS so that may be why. Just as a side note, my physician is very good with combining drugs to get an added effect. I'm also on Wellbutrin 200mg in AM and in early afternoon.
