you may want to call the FDA and/or manufacturer. i think i read that drug was yanked off the market because of a sudden impurity in the product

Yes this is correct for a few of the generic manufacturers. Eli Lilly decided to do this back in September of this year, and I did call them again, and they are in fact discontinuing it worldwide. Only the brand name will be discontinued for now. Eli Lilly read me a letter over the phone that stated Cymbalta, Prozac, and some other medication will sunset and be discontinued by December 31, 2024 and that they want to thank all of their customers who used those products over the years. This is worldwide for those brand name meds. Also mentioned it was a business decision and couldn’t elaborate further.

It' only one generic from one particular manufacturer that was pulled off the market. Anyway, my understanding is when a drug is compounded the pharmacist starts with the pure active component and recreates the product without additives. The ingredient in the generic that was pulled off market was something added to that particular generic version.
