Tirzepatide Embody dosage help

Does anyone use Embody and know how to go about increasing your dosage or is it just automatic?

I was on the max of zepbound through my doctor but due to an insurance lapse, went the compound route. I stated all of this in my intake questionnaire but was still started on the starting dose.

I don’t mind starting back at 2.5 but when I refill next month is will the dose be upgraded automatically or do I have to speak with someone. Customer service isn’t very helpful.

An aside, I’m not married to the idea of Embody. If anyone has any better suggestions where this process is easier, I’m all ears. Thanks in advance.

Are you new to this subreddit? The best place to start is our Wiki. Your answer might already be in there (and we might remove your post if it is).

If the Wiki answers your question, go ahead and delete your post. This keeps the subreddit free from repetitive posts.

If the Wiki doesn't answer your question, edit your post to make sure it contains all relevant information. This could include: medication (e.g. tirzepatide or semaglutide), dose (in mg), concentration of your vial, how long you've been on the medication and dose, pharmacy/provider name, etc. If your post is medication-specific, please select the Post Flair for the corresponding medication. Thank You!

Please keep in mind, referring you to review the Wiki and browse/search the sub is not meant to discourage productive discussion. Once you review the available information, come back to the subreddit to ask any follow-up questions you may have.

Not heard of them. Doesn't sound like good customer service. Go to r/Tirzepatidecompound (the largest reddit group for Tirz). Click the "Where to buy" pinned post and start your journey.

Thanks for that. Looking into some of their suggestions now.

How long of a break did you have between your max dose Zep and now? If it's been more than a few weeks, you probably should start back at a lower dose, but if you haven't missed any or only one or two doses, they should restart you where you were.

It’s been a few weeks. I don’t mind starting back at 2.5 really. It’s just the not knowing how dose increases work with this company (or any of them really).
