Overview
Fluoxetine/Olanzapine (Symbyax) can cost over $350/month without insurance. Here are every discount, coupon, and patient assistance program available in 2026.
Fluoxetine/Olanzapine — sold under the brand name Symbyax — carries a retail cash price of approximately $346 to $359 per month for the most common dose (30 capsules of the 6 mg/25 mg strength). That's over $4,000 per year if you're paying out of pocket. The good news is that there are several legitimate ways to dramatically reduce what you pay — sometimes to under $90 per month.
Here's a complete breakdown of every savings option available for Fluoxetine/Olanzapine in 2026.
What Does Fluoxetine/Olanzapine (Symbyax) Cost Without Insurance?
The average retail cash price for a 30-day supply of generic olanzapine/fluoxetine is approximately $346 to $359 per month, depending on strength and pharmacy. Brand-name Symbyax from Eli Lilly costs significantly more. However, with the free MedFinder savings card coupons, the price for generic can drop to as low as $86 to $88 per month — a savings of approximately 75%.
MedFinder savings card
Our free discount card with low prices at 65,000+ pharmacies nationwide. Search your medication, compare the cash price near you, and show the card at the counter to save up to 80%. It's a discount, not insurance, and savings vary by drug and pharmacy. Note: pharmacies can choose not to participate. You can use it whether you find your medication with MedFinder or not.
Option 2: the free MedFinder savings card and Other Discount Cards
the free MedFinder savings card, RxSaver, and Blink Health offer similar prescription discount programs. Prices vary by pharmacy and may sometimes beat the free MedFinder savings card at specific locations. It's worth checking two or three services to find the lowest price in your area. All of these programs are free to use for patients.
Option 3: Insurance Coverage
Approximately 74% of commercial insurance plans cover generic olanzapine/fluoxetine, typically at a copay of $60 to $80 per month. Some plans may require prior authorization, especially for Symbyax, and may ask for documentation of:
A diagnosis of bipolar I disorder with depressive episodes, OR
Treatment-resistant depression (failure of 2+ prior antidepressants)
If your plan requires prior authorization and denies the request, your prescriber can submit a peer-to-peer review or appeal. For TRD cases, providing a detailed medication history typically leads to approval.
Option 4: Lilly Cares Foundation — Patient Assistance Program
Eli Lilly, the maker of brand-name Symbyax, operates the Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program. This program may provide Symbyax at low or no cost for patients who:
Do not have insurance coverage for Symbyax, OR
Are underinsured and cannot afford their copay, AND
Meet income eligibility requirements
Contact the Lilly Cares Foundation at 1-800-545-5979 or visit LillyCares.com. Your prescriber will need to submit a patient assistance application on your behalf.
Option 5: The Separate Generic Strategy
Here's a money-saving tip many patients and providers don't know: you can take generic olanzapine and generic fluoxetine as two separate pills instead of the Symbyax combination capsule. The FDA approves this approach, and your prescriber can write two separate generic prescriptions. The cost:
Generic olanzapine: approximately $15–$40 per month (cash price at most pharmacies)
Generic fluoxetine: approximately $4–$10 per month (one of the least expensive drugs available)
Combined: as low as $19–$50 per month — significantly less than the combination capsule
Ask your prescriber if this makes sense for your situation. It requires taking two pills instead of one, but the clinical effect is the same.
Option 6: NeedyMeds and RxAssist
NeedyMeds.org and RxAssist.org are free online databases that compile information on patient assistance programs from pharmaceutical manufacturers. If you're uninsured or have limited income, these sites can help you identify programs you qualify for. Both sites are free to use.
Option 7: 90-Day Supply Through Insurance
Many insurance plans offer a lower copay per fill for 90-day supplies through mail-order pharmacy compared to monthly retail fills. If you're on Symbyax long-term, switching to 90-day mail-order fills can reduce your total annual cost. Contact your insurance plan to ask about mail-order pharmacy options.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cheapest option is to take generic olanzapine and generic fluoxetine as two separate prescriptions, which can cost as low as $19–$50 per month combined.

Approximately 74% of commercial insurance plans cover the most common version, with copays typically ranging from $60 to $80 per month. Prior authorization may be required.

Eli Lilly operates the Lilly Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program, which may provide brand Symbyax at low or no cost to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients. Contact Lilly Cares at 1-800-545-5979 or LillyCares.com. Your prescriber must submit the application on your behalf. For insured patients, GoodRx on the generic is often the simplest discount option.
Generally no — you cannot use a GoodRx coupon and insurance together for the same prescription at the same time. Choose whichever is lower: compare your insurance copay to the GoodRx price at your pharmacy. GoodRx is often cheaper than high-deductible insurance copays, especially if you haven't met your deductible yet.
Usually yes — significantly so. Generic fluoxetine costs as little as $4–$10 per month and generic olanzapine approximately $15–$40 per month, for a combined total of $19–$50. This is much less than the generic Symbyax combination capsule at ~$86+ per month. The clinical effect is the same — consult your prescriber to see if separate components make sense for you.
