Default Med change - help!!!

[/B]So my hubby went to p/u my refills today and out of 2 refills - I was denied 2 prescriptions. Gotta love those insurance companies - NOT!! My husband's insurance changed and now they are stating they won't refill my Lyrica or Cymbalta. I was just getting to sleep a little at night too! The pharmacy stated that the new insurance wants me to start out on the cheaper meds and work my way up if they wont work to the Cymbalta or Lyrica. Neurotin makes me swell so thats why they chose Lyrica - so not sure what else to choose? As for the Cymbalta - it had started working, at least I'm not crying every day (hehe). But I was starting to sleep a little deeper so I think it was working pretty good. Does anyone take other meds that work like Lyrica or Cymbalta? I know I have to call my doc tomorrow & discuss. I tried to get about 3 days worth of Cymbalta to get me by, but 6 pills was going to cost me $40.00. I said thanks but no thanks. So - anyone know what side effects I might have coming off of these two? As if I am not having fun enough with my leg & knee burning pain, no meds and now its snowing again. How many days left in the year?? LOL
