"i have been on cymbalta (60mg) for several years now after trying out several other drugs - none of which worked.  i am also on wellbutrin and the combination seems to work well for me.  however, i am on a new insurance plan now which is denying coverage for the cymbalta - insisting that i should use a generic in the general family of anti-depressants.  cymbalta is prohibitively expensive - my parents are paying for my health insurance - how can i expect them to pay for this medicine too.  when will the insurance companies be held accountable and why do drugs have to cost so much?"
