Cymbalta Information
Cymbalta is a prescription medication used in the treatment of depression and generalized anxiety disorder. It is also used to treat pain and tingling due to fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy. Manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, Cymbalta is approved by the FDA for patients 18 years of age and older. Side effects may include upset stomach, bowel irregularity, reduced appetite, increased sweating, dry mouth and drowsiness.[4]

About Cymbalta Patient Assistance Programs
The Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program helps patients who are being prescribed Cymbalta by offering a money-saving alternative to high prescription costs. Eligible patients receive a 120-day supply of free Cymbalta. Eligible patients must be a citizen of the U.S. or its territories, not be covered by a private insurance or be entitled to public health insurance or a Medicare Part D prescription plan.[2]
In addition, patients must meet certain income requirements. Individuals must not make over $30,000 per year. Couples may not make over $40,000 per year. There is a sliding scale for families; a family of four must not make more than $68,000 per year. These numbers are higher for residents of Alaska and Hawaii.[2]
If a patient doesn't meet the income or insurance guidelines, they are still eligible to try out Cymbalta at no cost for a month. A printable coupon may be accessed via the Cymbalta website. Once the patient has printed the coupon, they may take it to a pharmacy, along with a doctor's prescription, to get the free Cymbalta supply.[5]
