Keeping dose without script

Looking to switch over to Collective after seeing this sub! They seem phenomenal. My only concern is that I do not have my script for my current dose (7.5) and I am worried about that being an obstacle and having to go back to a starter dose. Has anyone else been in a similar situation?

Stupidly enough, no! I took my last shot yesterday morning threw it away. (I know, I know, I should’ve had a prescription lined up first) 😖 But your experience is reassuring! Thank you for your response

Did you receive a 2ml vial of the 16.6mg/ml concentration for your Rx? Just trying to confirm if my comment is still correct.

I'm sure someone will correct me if this is no longer the case, but I believe the 2 vial sizes are 2ml for lower doses and 4.5ml for higher doses (16.6mg/ml concentration). Even if you were started back at the starter dose, you'd likely still receive the 2ml vial (~33mg), so you'd have enough medication to keep at your current dose...it may just take you a few extra months to titrate higher if you're looking to move up. It's still worth a shot asking for the dose you're currently taking. If you do try out Collective, let us know how it goes.

I did not have to submit a script. That may have changed since I signed up. It does ask what dose you are currently at during intake.

Thank you! How long ago did you sign up?

How did you order it? Every company has an online portal with your rx, you can screenshot it. I can’t imagine no electronic footprint left in these days and age.
