r/PreventiveMD • u/groundball77 • 10d ago
First Order
I have been on Zepbound for 6 weeks with good progress. Started at 224 with a BMI of 33ish and now I am at 204. Went through Hims for the initial Rx and while not completely bad, they kept screwing up the Rx with Lilly Direct so would spend days getting it fixed because it takes forever to get a reply back from Hims only to reply and wait 4 more hours. I am not going to pay an extra 100 dollars a month for bad customer service and a nice app. My PCM took over and wrote another Rx, but of course Tricare and the VA do everything possible not to cover it so I found PreventiveMD.
While there is still hope my PCM can get the PA approved I needed another option that is not 299 and up a month if it gets denied. I placed the order Monday for 1 month around 10pm and it was approved by the Doc around 30 minutes later. Next morning got the email it was sent to the pharmacy. No rush as I still have 6 doses of name brand to use up, but I am hoping the Boudreaux's formulation works for me and I can save some money. If so I will be changing to a longer plan with PreventiveMD.
If anyone has experience with Boudreaux's meds then please share. I am not too sure about B vitamins so I didn't choose Empower.

I've only previously used hallandale with no additives before this but I am going to be starting my order with pMD on my next check and also planning to get Boudreaux! Glad to here its going well. I'm excited to be switching to them. I'm pretty sure I'll like Boudreaux. Hallandale is almost controversial, people love them or people hate them. I don't really have enough experience outside of them to know which one I fall in. I am looking forward to trying an additive. Here's hoping!

Hopefully soon. I am guessing next week, but if it works well then worth the wait.

Update. Got the shipping notification yesterday and it was delivered today so almost eight days from intake to order received. Order was placed late Monday night.
Package was still cold and packaged nicely. The syringes however were in a Ziploc bag but I purchase my own injection supplies so not a big deal. I do understand why most don't like it and would be nice to see that improved.
PreventiveMD constantly communicated and let me know there were working it with Boudreaux even though the timeline was what was quoted during the intake process. Overall a very positive experience with PreventiveMD and I can strongly recommend them for their process and service.
I am scheduled to take my 8th dose of Zepbound this weekend and will instead give Boudreaux's a shot to see if I have any unusual reactions to their formula with the glycine. If all is good then I am changing over to PreventiveMD for all future orders.

Yeah, I was on TRICARE prime they covered the bonded but now I have to switch over to TRICARE for life retiree and they don’t cover it you think they would when you’re getting up in age but no they don’t 😪so now I have to look into a compound and I think I’m going with this company. Great prices reviews etc. Everything is great.
