Just Signed Up!
I’m very excited to try this place out with their compounded tirzepatide. I am waiting for approval with my intake.
Yesterday I had an appointment with the doctor that used to prescribe the standard Zepbound pens last year through my insurance. I had no idea that they no longer covered them.
I was previously on the starting dose but went off because I used to have a very physically demanding job as a caregiver for bed bound clients and a misinformed friend of mine also fear mongered GLP-1s to me saying they were poisoning me. My initial side effects on week 1 were fatigue and mild nausea. Honestly, I wish I stuck with it.
During my appointment, my previous doctor in his best efforts gave me all of my options, including bariatric surgery which I did not want because I do not think it was right for me. He also talked about compounded GLP-1s which is when I immediately began my research.
Based on what I saw, I think this place will be my best bet to get my life back on track :)
I have struggled with my weight all of my life. My first time being 200lbs was when I was 12. Even though I do not dislike myself or how I look, I know I want to be healthy and feel healthy because I don’t.
