Cost of Cobenfy

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?

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.

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.

@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!
