Don’t give up hope, try polypharmacy with cobenfy+ caplyta or abilify , basically target different receptors all together till it works
Consult your psychiatrist on this

Yes, that’s my hope! I’ll be taking it as soon as it’s available. My pdoc thinks that a Mental Health Trust grant will cover the cost if my insurance won’t cover it. They tend to avoid polypharmacy but think it’ll work better for me. I’ve got a lot of optimism that Cobenfy will help me as much as clozapine did.

Are you guys gonna pay 1000 a month for it?
My pdoc laughed at me when I mentioned it.
Although if you aren’t in the USA maybe it would be covered, we’re always the farthest behind of all developed nations with health care.
I also have diet, exercise, supplements, different types of therapy, my recovery journal, tea, and my cat.

Some antipsychotics work together. I take risperidone and abilify.
I’m happy with my meds, but I wanna try cobenfy on top and see if it gets me high. Not a bad high, but it’s derived from betel nut so I’m hoping for a nice buzz
Me too, they work great together
I may have my Risperdal dose lowered more to 2mg and raise my Abilify to 5mg

Cobenfy isn’t approved to be used in conjunction with another antipsychotic.
It can only be used on it’s own.
This could change when they carry out more trials etc.
I thought it was just a coincidence they work for me, but apparently a lot of people use this formula
Abilify is a life saver, and risperidone
