My husband's on Duloxetine, and I heard about the recall. I called our pharmacy and asked about the recall. They said the recalls are on specific lot #'s from specific sources, and my husband's was not included.

You are correct. Some generic versions of duloxetine were contaminated and were recalled last October.

Generic duloxetine is not being discontinued. Eli Lilly made the decision to stop production of the name brand drug Cymbalta for "business reasons." They were not ordered to do it, but the patent was expired and they faced competition from generics and resistance by insurance companies to cover the higher cost.
