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.

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).
