I have an appointment with my pdoc November 21. My insurance is not covering it so far. Hopefully my doctor can get samples and give them to me.

I’m so happy for you! Keep us updated.

Feels kind of surreal that this med is out now, and that people can use it. Good luck!

I’m glad you have access to the new med. I’ll see my pdoc soon, too, and will ask to go on it after being put back on clozapine at the hospital. Good luck, let us know if you experience any side effects.

you take antypsychotics at the same time with cobenfy to avoid relapse and you cut them little by little?

I didn’t. I just started the Cobenfy kit. It’s 20/50 am and pm. Then 20/100mg am and pm. It’s pretty strong. I don’t think I could add anything else.

What do you mean by strong? Sedating?

Yes, it’s sedating. It’s not too difficult to handle. It seems to be making psychotic symptoms better already. Probably know best in a couple weeks.

Hello @devra . Have you news for us about your treatment with cobenfy ? I Hope that this drug will be soon in France my country.
Have you loss weight with cobenfy and do you take others drugs ?

It is better than any other antipsychotic I used. It is strong and doesn’t cause panicky feelings. There are side effects, but I’m not noticing them anymore. I think it would depend on the individual. I think it’s a lot better, but not a miracle yet.
