It really does look like the future of treating schizophrenia. There’s already several muscarinics being in development right now, can’t wait.

I start Cobenfy tomorrow and I’m both hopeful and nervous. I really hope it can bring some improvement to my positive symptoms. It’s got to get better somehow, and maybe these muscarinic receptors are the future.

So far, my depression is gone. I feel upbeat and have feelings of well-being. I started Cobenfy Friday morning.

Are you still on any other AP’s?

No I’m not on other APs.

Not medicated, I hear several voices talking to me that I really believe are people. Medicated, I have one strong command voice. This voice is quieter on Cobenfy. My head is quieter in general.

My diagnosis is a schizoaffective disorder, depressive type, but I don’t take an antidepressant and I don’t want to. It doesn’t seem like I need one on Cobenfy.

That’s great! Did you replace a different AP with Cobenfy or were you not on anything before you started it?

Yes, I replaced Geodon.

The above are notes I made.

It’s interesting. So far from all the personal anecdotes I’ve heard about it no one has had any of the severe gastro stuff it can cause. I was really skeptical about this drug. I’m glad to hear it’s living up to the hype for so many people.
