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.

There are a lot better antidepressants than Cymbalta with far less side effects.
I think Zoloft ( Sertraline) is the most described SSRI in that family of drugs and is very well tolerated by the vast majority of people. Combine it with Wellbutrin and give it a try.
Let us know how it goes if you decide to do that.
