Hi PJ,
>Ed I didn't know this. Is it more prescribed now since generic?
Cymbalta is not frequently used here, and there is no generic yet, so I'm not sure. It never really caught on... amitriptyline, gabapentin and pregabalin are used for chronic neuropathic pain and other drugs for depression (in which case its effectiveness is apparently not better than other ADs). I expect it will be used more frequently for chronic pain in the future, but maybe not for depression.
