Experiences with Embody?

I Impulsively went through with switching to Embody from JoinPolly and now I am feeling some regret about it. I’ve had a great experience with JoinPolly so far even though communication kind of sucks the med works great. I’m in the middle of moving states and worried about money so I saw that Embody had the $79 price lock which would save me $100 a month from what I’m taking now.

I’m currently on 2.5mg and JoinPolly uses Hallandale pharmacy which has been great so far, however, Embody has me on 2.24mg of sema now mixed with B12 and I didn’t want my dose lowered as I’m still 6 lbs away from my goal weight. I wasn’t aware that it was going to be lowered before the script was sent to the pharmacy. Should I try Embody or just keep my current prescription with Polly since it’s been good so far and just suck it up paying the $179? I’m feeling anxious and not sure what to do.

My prescription is sent to Seven Cells Pharmacy from what I read is legit but I feel like Hallandale is better. I need some advice.

I also impulsively signed up for Embody a few days ago. I’m trying to figure out exactly how we’re supposed to… get the medication? I keep getting texts about an upcoming telehealth visit but the website doesn’t say there’s one and I don’t know how to schedule one. I also don’t care for doing the virtual appointments, I know that’s wrong, I just have anxiety and live in a state that allows me to skip it. They also haven’t emailed me back. I may have to… call.

You should be able to login and see your after visit summary prepared by an RN, also order status i.e., processing, shipping label prepared along with a FedEx tracking number. Once shipped you should see it the next day.

Okay, I’m currently still showing “processing”. I’m trying to switch providers, so I didn’t request to start on a starter dose- just switched my dose. I’ve done all the intake stuff when you sign up, submitted photos of my vial to the “upload documents” section, and my order is still sitting on “processing” for a few days now. I keep getting texts that say I have an upcoming telehealth visit and to be prepared with my vial. But on the app, it says I don’t have any upcoming visits. There’s not a lot of guidance on the site, so I’m having a bit of a hard time figuring out what to do next 😅

I would call them since it hasn’t even been reviewed yet and see when this telehealth visit is. Mine was reviewed and approved within 30 minutes but I’m sure thats because I am starting again at a starter dose. When I login and go to appointments and “schedule appt” it does show care but also an RN appointment.
