Cosentyx - Week 1....and beyond....

[mataribot]

Hi All!!   Been on Cosentyx since July 2015.   I am almost cleared up except for patch on my lower left leg which is starting to clear but very stubborn.   I still have a couple of spots on my forehead area which pop up and some behind my ears.   My inverse spot comes and goes.  Still have some side effects for about 1 to 5 days after my 2 injections....go to the bathroom more....headache, nausea.   Still on the ZERO co pay plan.  They said after January 1st they don't know what will happen.   My insurance will be with the same company but my coverage will NOT be as good as it is now.  Cosentyx is about 4,500 a month if you have to pay for it yourself.  Who can afford that!!  I am hopeful the zero co pay plan will still exist on January 1, 2016.  If I get BOOTED off of this drug I will be very upset.  I am hopeful they offer financial assistance or something so I can continue it.  My insurance has a prescription plan  but but now I will be responsible for probably about $3,000 a month instead of possibly $45 like it would be right now.   No one can shed any light on the matter.  I have called the people at Novartis as well as my insurance company.  They said it's a wait and see thing!   How convenient for them.....

I have that silly bathroom problem as well - makes me go diarrhea for about a week.
