Not a rumor, it's a fact. NP got email yesterday afternoon.
Same here, I called my old partner after the announcement of the layoff of 2000 people. She is so hoping to get a package to get out of the Fanapt disaster!
She told me very few people are making any bonus on this product.
Really? Why did Vanderbilt say yes to Latuda and no to Fanapt?
The reps in Nashville West are really bad. That is the main reason and everyone knows it.
"I'm a fan"
ROFL, I hope they didn't pay a marketing team to come up with that!

Former Fanapt rep here, I now work for the competition. When I look at my market share reports on the nation, the region, and my territory..............whew, I can see why you guys are going down!
No disrespect to the Fanapt reps who are still out there really trying. However, those of us who were laid off with good numbers and great Psych relationships now feel vindicated!
Great job Lisa Pillla! Oh, forgot, shes gone now! Wonder why?

So, your thoughts on the town hall meeting in regards to NeuroPsych and Fanapt? I think we are all gone in December. I have really tried, but Fanapt is just a dog drug facing multiple generic competitors.
What are 3rd quarter Fanapt sales? Were not reported in earnings report, lumped in with other. Vanda releases 3rd quarter earnings Friday.
Vanda reported royalties of $1.216 million for Q3 versus $752K in Q2. At 10% royalty, that translates into Novartis sales of $12.2 million and $7.5 million for Q3 and Q2, respectively.
Honestly.....Fanapt seems to be a really good product. When it works.....it really works, and we hear success stories about that every day. However, it is like pulling teeth to get physician's to use this drug! Why is that do you think? How can a sales force be retained with sales results like that?
This person has it right. Come on people, wake up!
I am curious. Who are the Nashville West Reps that are really bad? Also, are you aware that Herbert Meltzer (Father of Clozaril- the Psychiatrist that coined the term Atypical) pushed for Latuda to be on Formulary at Vanderbilt because he decided to leave this past year and go to Northwestern. Prior to this decision of his, he would not agree to speak for a Pharmaceutical company because Vanderbilt FORBIDS their MDs to speak or to attend any pharmaceutical program that is product specific. Are you also aware of the closed door rep policy for the Psych hospital. So, I suppose Dr. Meltzer is a better rep than the Nashville West Reps. As for your ignorance about the ability of the Nashville West Reps sales abilities- I believe they are consistently in the top of sales performance. I believe my 5 National awards is nothing to hang ones head over. Please do your research before you fly off the cuff about something you know nothing about. It's just plain wrong.
And one more thing... When I left the Nashville West Territory to become a stay at home mom to my 3 and 5 year old (nothing to do with Fanapt- it was keeping me here) my market share was about 1.5 %. TRX and NRX. Now, you are ranked based on volume (due to Novartis getting in trouble with off label promotion- Trileptal in particular- which was one of my 5 National Awards- So was Fanapt... I'd like to ask you, what's your TRX share? 1.5 might seem low. But, Nationally- it's about .5 %. I am glad to be gone from all you negative unprofessional people that do not deserve a job working for big pharma. It was difficult to give up a base salary of 111K - but, my children are so much kinder than so many of you. Get to work and maybe Fanapt will achieve a National Market Share like mine. Then you losers just might keep your jobs that you don't deserve.
When it works? Any product will have a few "new horse in the middle of a race responses" when patients are switched from other agents. If you will dig deep and find what little data is available (though not powered for comparison claims), Fanapt trended less effective than Zyprexa & risperidone and similar to Geodon.
If only all of these territories had market shares like Shari had. COMBINED, she had 1.5% of the market according to her post. Shari, enjoy your kids Honey. God bless you. It just goes to show what an abortion of a drug Fanapt is. You know every psychiatrist in Nashville and you STILL couldnt get anybody to write this drug. You know why? You do know why you sexy thing! Fanapt is possibly the worst drug in the history of Pharma. I would love for someone to lay out an example of a worse launch. I bet there are a few.
We would hope ur 3 and 5 year old are kind. Get off the website and go take care of you kind .... They are called children! If you were so great and quit and came back and quit and came back---then why did you leave if you were such a professional that is visiting a web site of the company at which you thought people were losers ... My advice get over yourself and get off the cafe and take care of your kind 3 n 5 year old that could care less who you were or how much you made or your market share was!! You are the negative loser that no longer works here or any where and will never again ... Since you lived in a world of mirrors that
reflects your self. We at novartis will go on and work with out you and your hatred for all of us unprofessionals. Hmmmm we have a job and cake ... You just have your attitude -- your kind novartis losers wish you well!!! Ta-ta
