What Is An Alternative Of Cymbalta In Treating Fibromyalgia And Depression?
HI. I stopped taking Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia and Major Depression because it became to expensive. Previously, my Medicare insurance wanted me to use generic. So over a year period I tried generic 2 different times for 3 months each. It did not work. I became more adjitated SP? and confused. Is there any recommendation you can make since I need to be back on an anti-depressant, but the insurance does not cover that medication anymore. For Fibro Im just taking Aleve. Can you suggest anything?

Hi,
Pregabalin and escitalopram can be taken instead of Cymbalta for fibromyalgia. I would also suggest doing cardio exercises and warm shower.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
