What is Saphris Prescription Assistance Program?
The Saphris Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Saphris at no medication cost to qualifying patients who cannot afford it. The program is available to uninsured and underinsured U.S. residents who meet income and residency requirements. If approved, you receive your medication at no cost and can reapply for continued access.
Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder can disrupt every aspect of your life — your thinking, emotions, relationships, and ability to work. When you find a medication that stabilizes your symptoms, interrupting treatment because of cost can trigger a relapse that undoes months of progress. AffordMyPrescriptions ensures cost never forces you to stop a treatment that’s working.
For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates manage every step of your enrollment. Everything is completely confidential. And if generic asenapine at $70–$105 per month would serve you equally well, we’ll guide you to the best coupon price.
Pharmacy Price Comparison
- Without assistance, Saphris costs significantly more at retail pharmacies than through our advocacy service. Discount programs offer some relief, but they don't come close to what a Patient Assistance Program provides, if you qualify:
| Pharmacy(With Coupon) | PrIce (30-Day)* | You Save W/ Us |
|---|---|---|
| Walgreens | ~$85.00 | Save ~$15/mo |
| CVS Pharmacy | ~$90.00 | Save ~$20/mo |
| Walmart | ~$80.00 | Save ~$10/mo |
| Costco | ~$75.00 | Save ~$5/mo |
| Kroger | ~$70.00 | Save ~$0/mo (use generic) |
*Retail prices are estimates based on public data and vary by pharmacy. Coupon prices from GoodRx and SingleCare as of April 2026. Afford My Prescriptions Advocacy Service bypasses retail pricing by using drug manufacturer programs to secure your medication for you—independent of dosage or retail price.

Why choose us For Your Saphris Prescription Program?
When you’re living with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, medication stability is everything. Finding the right antipsychotic — one that controls your symptoms without intolerable side effects — can take months of careful adjustment with your psychiatrist. Once you’ve achieved stability on Saphris, any interruption in treatment can trigger a psychiatric crisis: a manic episode, a psychotic break, or a depressive spiral that may result in hospitalization, job loss, or damaged relationships.
Our trained Patient Advocates understand the critical importance of uninterrupted psychiatric medication access and manage every administrative detail on your behalf. From the moment you enroll, your advocate prepares your application, coordinates with your psychiatrist, submits everything to the appropriate program, and tracks your status through every stage. When refills are due, they manage that proactively so you never run out.
Our pricing is simple and predictable: $69.95 per month — every month. While the medication itself is provided at no cost through the manufacturer’s program (or guidance to the lowest coupon price for the generic), our monthly fee covers all advocacy and program management. If we’re unable to secure access, you won’t be charged.

Understanding Saphris:
Saphris (asenapine) is a twice-daily prescription sublingual tablet used to treat schizophrenia in adults and manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults and children aged 10 to 17. Unlike most psychiatric medications, Saphris is placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve completely — you must not eat or drink for 10 minutes after each dose. Available in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg sublingual tablets.
How It Works:
Saphris treats schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder by balancing dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain. It blocks specific receptors to reduce excessive dopamine activity, which helps control hallucinations and stabilize mood swings. The tablet is uniquely designed for sublingual administration, allowing it to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the mouth.
Form and Use:
This medication comes in 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg sublingual tablets and is typically taken twice daily. To use it correctly, place the tablet under the tongue and let it dissolve completely without chewing or swallowing it. It is important to avoid eating or drinking for 10 minutes after taking a dose to ensure proper absorption.
Generic Availability:
Generic asenapine is available in the United States and offers significant savings, costing as little as $70 per month compared to the brand-name price. It is FDA-approved in the same strengths and formulation as the original medication. For those who specifically require brand-name Saphris but face high costs, patient assistance programs can provide the medication for a monthly service fee.
Warnings:
Saphris includes a boxed warning concerning an increased risk of mortality in elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis. Common side effects may include dizziness, drowsiness, and temporary numbness in the mouth. Patients should always consult with a medical professional before stopping the medication, as it should not be discontinued abruptly.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How Much Does Saphris Cost Without Insurance?
Brand-name Saphris costs approximately $596–$1,301 per month. Generic asenapine is available for approximately $70–$105 per month with coupons. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive brand-name Saphris at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers advocacy and program management.
Is This The Same Saphris I'd Get At A Pharmacy?
Yes. The Saphris supplied through the Patient Assistance Program is the same FDA-approved asenapine sublingual tablet dispensed at retail pharmacies, supplied directly from the manufacturer.
Is There A Generic Version Of Saphris?
Yes. Generic asenapine sublingual tablets are available and dramatically more affordable at approximately $70–$105 per month with coupons. For most patients, the generic is clinically equivalent and the better option. Our advocates will help you determine which is right for you.
Why Does Saphris Go Under The Tongue Instead Of Being Swallowed?
Asenapine is poorly absorbed when swallowed — the digestive system and liver break down most of the medication before it can reach your brain. Sublingual administration allows the drug to be absorbed directly through the tissue under your tongue, bypassing the digestive system. This is why you must not eat or drink for 10 minutes after each dose.
Is Saphris Approved For Children?
Saphris is approved for children and adolescents aged 10 to 17 years for the treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder. It is not approved for schizophrenia in pediatric patients. Pediatric dosing typically starts at 2.5 mg twice daily
What if my application is denied?
Our Patient Advocates will immediately explore every alternative — including generic asenapine ($70–$105/month with coupons), GoodRx and SingleCare discount cards, independent co-pay assistance foundations, insurance formulary exception requests, and alternative antipsychotic medications including generic aripiprazole ($4–$15/month), generic risperidone, or other options.
