Journavx (suzetrigine) new non-opioid medication for acute pain

I’ll throw in an update about Journavx. Sadly the $30 coupon is only good for two months. Trying the new 2026 coupon didn’t work -I have used my 2 months, period. Understandable since it’s only approved for acute pain. So back to $945 on a credit card for pain relief. That stinks. But I can’t give up this pain relief, now that I have experienced it. I am NOT pain free, but the overall burning is hugely diminished. That leads to other improvements in my energy and activity level.
I plan to call Vertex Pharmaceuticals today to chat about this situation. They do have ongoing clinical trials regarding diabetic neuropathy, but my diagnosis is idiopathic.

@julbpat I too have been helped by Journavx; I take 2 in the AM & I can do my regular life; without it I’m never sure if I can walk 4 houses down or not. I got 30 pills for $30 with the coupon; then it took 3 tries to get approval for 16 more pills for $112. I’m saving them for my next vacation; so, I can enjoy myself. Because it’s for acute pain only, I can’t get anymore. I will pay the $1,000 for more pills!

@julbpat I can imagine how wonderful it must be to have your pain reduced, even if it is only marginal. Those without severe, chronic pain might find it hard to understand why anyone would spend almost a thousand dollars a month for a med. I would spend whatever I could if it would give me that same relief. Unfortunately, it did not help me at all. I hope you continue to get relief from this drug. Perhaps the price will come down eventually. Be blessed.
