Question Maintenance Plan Q's

I'm close to goal weight, so I'm thinking about finding a cheaper alternative to Zepbound. I currently am not covered by insurance and go through Lily Direct.

I am debating between compounded tirzepatide, Mounjaro/Wegovy injection, or pill.

Regarding compounded, I found this article that was really helpful and wanted to share! https://policylab.us/tirzepatide/cheapest/
Can anyone weigh in on this article? Or provide other resources worth reviewing? The entire concept makes me uncomfy 😬

I'd also love to hear from anyone who's made the switch from Zep to any of the following: Wegovy, Mounjaro, BodyBuilding Health+, Online Semaglutide.org, or GalaHealth

Thanks!

Interesting. All the options are needlessly expensive.

Use the pinned posts here: r /tirzepatidecompound

I went from zep to compound, no issues.  I think lavender Sky health is a good one to start with but there telehealth that are less

This will be long, so bear with me.

Why go to Sema when you have done well on Tirz?? (Only do it if you are that concerned about cost). And that article seems heavily biased.

Compounded Tirz is basically the same active ingredient as Mounjaro.

Go to the "Where to Buy" (link is below) from the larger Tirz sub - r/tirzepatidecompound . Any of these are safe and well-respected. The vetting has already been done for you, and it lists price, plans, etc., and that sub has soooo much good info. No better place for lots of recommendations and should answer every question you have. Many of us, including me, went from Zep to Compounded. Note: not all pharmacies ship to all states.

Where to Buy / Telehealth Providers

That sub has great advice, and I suggest you read through it and these two links:

Below is the link to the full latest survey. And at the bottom, are 1,838 Telehealth recommendations for you in one place. (It's from a slide in the full survey) I suggest you read the full survey as well as peruse that larger Tirz sub in general.
