I have been taking Cymbalta for nerve pain in my feet due to an injury. For the last month, I have been taking the generic Cymbalta. (same dosage) I have been experiencing the same pain I had before taking the brand Cymbalta along with other symptoms such as insomnia and constipation. Could it be the change from brand to generic?
Dear patient thank you for your question. It is a very interesting one as the debate between generic and non-generic medications is one that has been going on for years and no end seems in sight.However, coming to your question, medically there is no difference or rather should not be any however many forums have reported complaints about the weak efficacy of the generic Chat Doctor. Therefore, my suggestion is if you can afford it then switch back to your old medication however you cannot give your body a month to adjust to it. That being said if the nausea and constipation become severe go back to your original irrespective.Also, I must remind you to keep yourself HY
