It's not too difficult to get it from Lilly. Most of the drug companies have started free med programs. Ask your pharmacist for the 800 number for Lilly. You'll have to fill out a 2 page form, but it's usually easy to qualify.

A 30 day supply of 60mg Cymbalta is around $109-$120, which you're right, is $3 a pill unfortunately (and any size bottle is about the same, the 20 and 30s are about $10 less). Ask your psychiatrist if he/she has any samples. Some have Lilly connections, which might help on your cost. Unfortunately it is still so new that Costco does not have much more of a discount on it. I'm sorry to hear that.
