Hi all. Nuplazid is a drug approved for parkinsons psychosis and its being tested for schizophrenia psychosis. It antagonizes serotonin but not dopamine.
Anyone wanna buy nuplazid and see if it works? I imagine much less side effects then the current medications.
Its not for positive symptoms but in trials for negative symptoms.
Its not as easy as the way you think. It has to be approved for sz by FDA and other countries and the pdoc need to accept prescribing it. Anyways it failed for positive symptoms and is currently in trials as addon for negatives. Ask your Dr about it. Do you have a psychiatrist?
I don’t want my negatives drugged.
From GoodRX monograph:
"This is a limited distribution drug and is generally not available at a pharmacy.
This drug is only available at select specialty pharmacies, which usually means:
Patients in need of this drug may have the cost paid by an insurance company, government, or non-profit organization. If you are uninsured or need help with your co-pay, the manufacturer may also offer assistance."
From a news account, Each 34mg pill is $106, or $3000+ a month. There is also a 10 mg. pill.
I suspect insurance would only cover for Parkinson’s Disease.
It’s a prescription med - one can’t just go out and “buy” it.
