When i first started Cobenfy i started with weekly sample packs my pdoc gave me. Well, i got my first one-month supply from the pharmacy today, and it cost Medicare $2442! Like, if i got that kind of money i could afford a mortgage AND a new car payment. I was shocked. But, then i realized, that’s still gotta be cheaper than being in the hospital or a residential treatment center. I never see my hospital bills cuz they get paid, but i wonder what my last stay of over 3 weeks cost. They required a prior authorization for the Cobenfy script to be filled, but since I’ve been on everything else they didn’t argue against it…but, still, it seems like a lot of money and i don’t know if it’ll be worth it. It’s only been 2.5 weeks and i haven’t noticed any major changes, but they say it can take a couple of months to kick in. I guess we’ll see…
Wow, that’s more than I make in a month! My Invega Sustenna shot costs over $3000 every three weeks but my insurance pays for it. You must work or how else could you afford Cobenfy?
Did you just take cobenfy or multiple antipsychotics?
I stayed inpatient one time for 5 days and the cost was $40,000.
I have Medicare but not Medicaid so I have copays. And lots of meds are extremely expensive. It’s ridiculous. To me, it’s unacceptable. Meds need to be attainable.
It was probably over 200,000 lol
I take Zyprexa along with the Cobenfy but next week I’m going to ask my pdoc to titrate off the Zyprexa cuz the anticholinergic burden on both of them is high.
My trinza shot is 10k every 3 months
@WhiteRaven Hey! You said you started treatment with Cobenfy in December 2024. Can you tell me how you are now? What effect does Cobenfy have? I am so impatient for a good treatment for schizophrenia!
