I’ve been on brand name Cymbalta since it came on the market. It works for me. Yet every time I’m forced to switch insurance because I switch jobs or lose a job, I’m forced to jump through hoops to prove I need it. 

I’ve tried the generic. It’s useless. I wish it had worked, it’s a lot cheaper. The shitty insurance I have now is making me switch to generic Effexor before they will consider Cymbalta. 

To make matters worse, they will only cover the capsule. My doctor wrote the script for tablet. It’s taken 2 days to straighten out! In the mean time, I’ve been without anything for 3 days. 

I feel like death. I’m nauseous, dizzy, manic then crying. I can’t concentrate. I just want it to be over. I hate feeling like this. I hate it. I just want to sleep until I can finally pick up the new script and have it (hopefully) kick in. 

I want someone to hold me and tell me it will be better. I want my mom, but she passed 5 years ago.
