r/SemaglutideCompound

I've been a customer for over a year. I did my most recent checkin 17 days ago. The doc responded the next day saying the prescription was sent to the pharmacy. I still don't have my meds or even a shipping notification. When I try to click on support on their webpage, it just spins back to the main page. Their "chat" feature is just AI. I did text customer service and got a generic "we'll look into it" response on monday, to which I've followed up twice to no avail. They're usually really good about shipping and when I do a check-in I have my meds within a few days. I still order 2 weeks in advance to be sure, but I've taken my last dose and they're not responding. Wondering if something happened with the company or if there's a rep in here who can shed some light on the situation.

I've had issues with them previously and their customer service can be super shitty but I stuck with them because I didn't feel like going through the whole process of starting with someone new. I think this might be my final straw.

has anyone had a good experience with embody ? i just joined today and of course im getting mixed reviews 😭

What online providers would you guys suggest? I’m sick of Orderly. They’ve been GREAT for a year but now they are using Perfect RX who is out of stock, don’t have a restock estimate, and can’t fill my Rx. I’ve been trying to figure this out for weeks and Orderly is being useless.

I’m completely out of meds. So ideally I’d like to find a company with quick service that doesn’t use Perfect RX and who is under Orderly’s $149/mo.

Been on this for about 8 months was hopeful it may help me move in the right direction especially with my afib, high blood pressure and severe OA in both knees. But here I am at the endocrinologist amd they weighed me and I am down only 25 pounds. Ofc I know eating right and exercise is a key I was just hoping for a better number than what I saw. Yes this is not a miracle but I see so many good stories on here

I would love some feedback on the site claiming GLP-1s for around $100 a month for Trizepatide. For example, I’ve seen dollardadclub offering Zep for $200 a month. I have an existing Rx from my doc, so it should be pretty simple to fill through one of these online providers, correct?

Thank you for any guidance or insight you can provide!

First dose will be arriving today! Flying to Miami next Friday for a music festival all weekend where I’ll be drinking and have extracurriculars. Thought I could start tonight then do the second dose next Thursday before I fly out, or would the smarter decision to be to wait till I’m back the following Wednesday and start then. I am worried about side effects etc.

I started in January. Before that, I had already lost weight on my own and got down to around 158–160, but I felt like I just couldn’t get past that point. By April, I was down to 140, which is my ideal weight. I stopped because I had reached my goal and was also tired of the nausea and tiredness. I only got up to 1.7 mg and that was more than enough for me. I lost weight even the first month on the low dose .25, then it kind of paused after a month until I increased to .5, then and so on till 1.7 and the end of that month I stopped all together.

Now it’s October, and my weight has crept back up. It’s around 148–150, and I really don’t want to get back into the 160s. I know it may not seem like a lot, but I can see the difference in how my clothes fit. I’ve started again at 0.2 mg, the lowest dose my provider prescribed.

I’m not a big fan of being on it all year because of how I feel, so I was wondering if it’s reasonable to use it in shorter stretches when I notice my weight going back up, maybe twice a year, with my provider’s guidance.

Has anyone done something like this? When you started again, did the weight come off faster, or was it about the same as the first time? Did you notice anything different restarting it, quicker response level by any chance or have more side effects when restarting? I’d love to hear what your experience was like.

I just got my med in the mail, I’m worried about side effects of course.
I have a toddler so can’t be down for the count every weekend but also have a job.

So if you have a toddler, what day of the week has worked best for your life?

I've been on compounded sema for about three months since my telehealth doctor prescribed it. My close friend gets hers from Hallandale and says she likes it. Mine comes from a different pharmacy.

Can I ask my doctor to send my next pharmacy there? Or does the doctor pick where it goes? For your information, my refill is on the 15th (almost near). So how do I check if Hallandale is an option before them?

My sister has been on compounded sema for about eight months. Her vials come from Hallandale and she's had zero issues.

I'm about to start with a telehealth provider and want the same pharmacy.

Can you ask for a pharmacy by name? Or does it depend on who the provider works with and what state you're in?

Not asking which pharmacy is best.

Just trying to understand how this part works.

I stopped taking semaglutide two months ago after losing 20 pounds. I wanted to lose weight before I started trying to conceive. The two month waiting period is recommended so the medicine doesn’t interfere with fertility or hurt the baby. I’m not pregnant yet.

I ended up gaining about 5-10 pounds, with cravings and food noise unfortunately back. Has anyone been on Sema , had a baby then got back on it?

Thanks!

When a clinic says it uses partner pharmacies, can you pick one? Or does the prescriber assign it after review? I was looking at Mondae because of their $87/month semaglutide price. I just spent about ten minutes on the page and couldn't find a pharmacy picker.

I'd like to know which providers put pharmacy choice and state limits in detail.

I already have a prescription for compounded semaglutide through a telehealth service. My first vial shows up next week and I still don't know which pharmacy is filling it. The order page just says "partner pharmacy."

I'd like to know the name and what the label should say for the ingredient. I read something about salt forms, like semaglutide sodium. Not sure what to look for.

Should I ask my prescriber or the pharmacist? Or both? This is for a prescription I already have.

I will start compounded sema next month and my doctor already wrote the prescription. I looked up the pharmacy name and found a mix of good and bad reviews. Hard to know what's true since i believe those reviews can be fabricated. So what can I check myself? I know I can look up the state license. I also saw something about sema base vs salt forms. Is that worth asking about? And what do those checks not tell you?

I did not get cystic acne when I was on non-compounded pharmacy shots. Wegovy and Zepbound did not break me out in cystic acne. Semaglutide + Glycine from Rx Pro has been breaking me out since August when I started with them.

I take these shots for endometriosis management. Insurance stopped covering it. I have messaged RX PRO to ask about them removing the B12, and they don't respond to messages period. This is irresponsible, and honestly, they should probably be investigated for negligence. I spent over 1k on shots, and they can't be bothered to respond.

Anyway, if anyone has recommendations on dealing with cystic acne as a side effect, please let me know.

Currently on 1.5mg compounded semaglutide and finally see results but looking to switch providers. Been going through Midi but the cost is a bit much. Anyone have any luck switching providers?

Ok so the weirdest thing but I literally feel so sick when I smell handsoap and alcohol wipes. It makes me instantly nauseated. I’m wondering if it’s due to the shot. I’ve been on this for over a year though and it wasn’t initially an issue even on the highest dose I’ve never experienced it before.

Has anyone else had a similar experience or does anyone have any tips or suggestions. I know I haven’t been eating great so not sure if this is also causing it but please help

The FDA approved a higher dose of Semaglutide in March, saying it led to additional weight loss without bad side effects (in those that didn’t experience bad side effects on a lower dose). I’ve arrived at 2.4 recently and plan to stick with it for at least 3 months but I’m interested in hearing from others who have increased from there. I’ve been a slow responder, averaging less than half a pound a week but definitely feel the 2.4 so hopefully that’ll be my highest dose. But, I am thinking ahead in case it’s not enough. I know lots of people switch to tirzepatide but I have tolerated Semaglutide well, so thinking about continuing to go up in dose. Has anyone else used a higher dose?
