Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You maybe losing your prescription plan soon and you were wondering what would be a low cost alternative. There are several options the lowest cost prescriptions would be generic fluoxetine or prozac and other SSRIs. But you are taking a medication classed as a SNRI. The best alternative would be generic Venlafaxine or effexor. instead of hundreds of dollars for your cymbalta the fluoxetine is abot 50 and the venlafaxine about 90.
