Fanapt Falls Flat! Link from the Street.com

You see, this is where the rubber meets the road. They tell us we are committed to this franchise, but with no injectable in the pipeline now there is no way they keep neuropsych the way it is structured in place. They already have 2 or more gen med reps selling patch in a smaller territory than where we sell fanapt. The writing is on the wall, fragile x is not saving the salesforce, maybe 5 to 10 reps at max. There will be a consolidation of gen meds with us next year and will affect many more jobs no doubt. If you aren't lookikng your are toast!!

Yeah, I feel like burnt toast!

Thanks Uncle Novartis!
 




So will they move us into the other specialty products as their openings occur ?
I believe they are committed to us as they have said and would not do otherwise( layoffs).
We will survive!!!
 
























If you see an opening in gen meds you should put in for it now. If you think they will find everyone a seat at the table your kidding yourself. You are in a division with nothing to sell!
 








Best of luck to all my former Fanapt comrades. I was blessed to have found a better job before the next round of layoffs AND just got a $3,500 check from the OT lawsuit yesterday. My prayers are with all of you guys as these are sure to be difficult times.
 
























To say Fanapt fell is indicating it reached a higher level which is totally false. It never got off the ground so it possible could never fall.

I remember the guy who was "promoted" from our team. Basically he was informed of the change and told to take it or leave. The company new this was a dog from day one but had to throw a hail mary in there.

Hey, Doug Flutie hit his hail mary so you never know, you win some and you lose some!!
