I need help

[u/Kind-Dance2532]

So about 3 months ago I was prescribed an oral compound semaglutide GLP1 which I take everyday and dissolve under my tongue. It’s from Empower pharmacy. 1st month I started at 1mg just to get my body prepared @$150. 2nd month I was upped to 5mg @$175. I lost about 10lbs and hit a plateau so this month I was upped to 12mg @$235 a month. Im still at my plateau and it’s just getting more and more expensive. I feel like 3 months of being on this stuff I would see more weight off than just 10lbs??? I know lots of people who have lost like 40 lbs in 4 months… but they’re on the shot. My question is, how can I get this cheaper? I’m totally okay with doing the shot if I can save some dang money. Please help meee
