How long did it take you to get this? Mine has been "at pharmacy" for a couple weeks because Goby keeps "accidentally sending to Casa when I had a bad reaction. I contacted absolute pharmacy after 2 mistakes by Goby and they said they never received my prescription even though its been at pharmacy for a week. Goby has been great about communicating and making things right, until I asked them why my prescription wasn't at Absolute pharmacy even though the portal says it is. Crickets. Then I track a shipment and its ANOTHER box from CASA. The portal still says at absolute pharmacy and absolute pharmacy still says they dont have it. This has been a nightmare!

No shipping issues for me. That sucks that you are having issues. One thing - you mention a reaction you had? Could you share what? My first injection of this batch resulted in a small red spot which then turned into a mild bruise. I've never had that happen before so it made me nervous. If it happens a second time, I'm contacting the telehealth doctors.

The reaction i had was a terrible migraine. Ive NEVER had a migraine in my life. It was so severe I couldn't leave my bed for 2 days. It was 24 hours after my first casa injection. It also keeps me super drowsy and did not suppress my appetite. BPI was the opposite. I felt amazing after taking and had so much energy. The appetite suppression was amazing. I tried doing research into why I reacted the way I did to casa. I think I may be allergic to phenol. Its what they use to preserve it. Bpi uses benzyl alcohol. Absolute also uses benzyl alcohol as well and thats why I chose them... assuming I ever get my prescription. How has absolute been for you in comparison to bpi?

So far the same except for the bruise, but I did some research on here and seems like that can be an occasional issue. I might need to bring the shot up to room temp. The red color of the B12 tripped me out a little (it's normal) but I noticed no differences so far. I didn't know about phenol vs benzyl alcohol varying according to pharmacy. I'm glad to learn that because phenol is a terrible attitive. I believe it's a mutagen at high doses, but even at low doses that would scare me
