how much does cymbalta cost

welcome kim,
call your local pharmacies and compare prices. they will tell you a price for the number of pills your doc scripts. i always compare if my insurance does not cover something. also ask your doc, if you do have ins. to do a special request thru your insurance to cover it. often drugs not covered can be covered if the doctor fills out forms stating why you require this particular drug.
peace,

Welcome Kim, also ask your doc for samples. The drug companies fill the docs drug closet with free samples. For example, a drug to help ease the nausea of my hubby chemo cost over $400.00 dollars for 12pills at the pharmacy (no kidding) but we got lots of free samples with I think two pills in each packet from the docs office. Checking with the pharmacies is a great idea, some pharmacies are less expensive than others.

A friend of mine buys them online from India. She pays $12 dollars for 30 pills. They are generic and the real thing. I also buy Lipitor from the same place and save a lot of money. I know they sell the real thing because my cholestrol went down 40 points

At my pharmacy, about $140 for 30, 60 mg pills. My portion is $70 witht he insurance I have, (the Sertraline I was on previously cost me $10 per month). If you are on medicaire, and have no meds insurance this is a significant amount. No?
