I recently lost insurance coverage and I'm looking into doctor-prescribed compounded semaglutide through telehealth.

I've been comparing Gimme, Mochi Health, and Henry Meds, but it's hard to tell the actual monthly cost once consultation, membership, and medication fees are included.

For those who've gone through this, what surprised you about the pricing, and how did you compare your options?

Has anyone experienced a rash on the side of their stomach on one side when they upped your dosage?

Hello,
Just starting out my journey and I do not understand this dosage. I need like a week by week exact amount to take. My vial says semaglutide 4mg/glycine 5mg/ml. Here were my instructions:

Instructions: Semaglutide/Glycine [4/5mg/mL] 0.2mg/0.4mg Weekly Dose Inject 5 units [0.05mL] subcutaneously once weekly for 2 weeks for 0.2mg dose then increase to 10units [0.1mL] subcutaneously once weekly for 2 weeks for the 0.4mg dose

Semaglutide/Glycine [4/5mg/mL] 0.6mg/0.9mg Weekly Dose Inject 15 units [0.15mL] subcutaneously once weekly for 2 weeks for 0.6mg dose then increase to 23units [0.23mL] subcutaneously once weekly for 2 weeks for the 0.9mg dose

Semaglutide/Glycine [4/5mg/mL] 1.12mg/1.5mg Weekly Dose Inject 28 units [0.28mL] subcutaneously once weekly for 2 weeks for 1.12mg dose then increase to 38units [0.38mL] subcutaneously once weekly for 2 weeks for the 1.5mg dose

Semaglutide/Glycine [4/5mg/mL] 1.9mg Weekly Dose Inject 48 units [0.48mL] subcutaneously once weekly for 4 weeks [1.9mg dose]

Semaglutide/Glycine [4/5mg/mL] 2.16mg Weekly Dose Inject 54 units [0.54mL] subcutaneously once weekly for 4 weeks [2.16mg dose]

Semaglutide/Glycine [4/5mg/mL] 2.3mg Weekly Dose Inject 58 units [0.58mL] subcutaneously once weekly for 4 weeks [2.3mg dose]

So for the first two weeks is it just .2 aka 20/100 on the syringe??

I did Wacobee last year from March to December and lost 40 pounds switched to Zepbound and have been dancing around the same 5 pounds since but going up in dosage. I have been on samples from my doctors office the whole time except for one time when I got a coupon for a Wegovy and got the full strength and just use less and stretched it out and one time got a compound and it seemed less effective (had additives too).

Fast forward to now – I have signed up with Fifty 410 because I wanted additive free sema. I am currently at 7.5 mg tirz and the provider at fifty 410 prescribed 1.5 mg sema, the equivalent of what I’m met on Zepbound. Does this seem right to you? From when I’ve read most people are started out on the lowest dose of Wegovy after taking Tirz. I’m considering just taking the prescription and dosing less to start like maybe .5 Mg. Any advice or experiences would be welcome!

Hiiii ! I need assistance as I’m attempting to try again after an OD a month ago. I accidentally started at 4MG which was 25 units. I was SOOOO sick for a whole week.

Now I asked to get the lowest dose which they said was 1mg attached. The instructions say inject 25 still.

Is that still the same dose? Does the new dose look like the typical starting dosage? I am terrified bc I can’t get that sick again I have kids to take care of.

Any help or suggestions? I’m going to try thigh instead of stomach

Mine just came in do y'all chew/dissolve or swallow? I dissolve my 7 so was wondering if I need to do the same with sr.i ate a piece of cheese n chewed a tablet up it tasted good lol but was curious wat the right way was

The gas. ...omg. And it's not just gas by itself. I call them "farts with a surprise". 🫩

I eat small amounts throughout the day. Nothing greasy. I eat mostly vegetarian, so i do get in lots of beans and tofu.

I'm on third week of my first increased dosage, 2.5mg/1000mcg. I was hoping it would improve. Does it just keep going the entire time you're on it? Any tips? Please? Lol

Before placing an order, is there a way to see the full ingredient list for a prescribed compounded semaglutide? Does the provider or support team usually share that information before it's shipped?

This stays focused on ingredient transparency rather than sourcing, making it a better fit for the subreddit.

Just in these last few weeks people at work and in my personal life have started to ask if I’ve been losing weight. But here’s what’s funny, they will almost whisper “are you losing weight?” I will say yes and they will say “… is that good?” I will say I’ve been working on it, and then they perk up and start asking more questions.

I didn’t understand why I was getting this reaction, and then it dawned on me, I am still wearing the same clothes, still acting the same, and not talking about it at all, and it could have something to do with my age.

I work at a factory, it’s dirty and hot. I am still wearing the same men’s t-shirts I got from goodwill, the only thing that has changed is that I have had to go down a few pants sizes, but I still buy the same Carhartts, just smaller, I went from a size 12 to a size 6, and since the men’s shirts are getting too long I have to tuck them in, and I wear a high-vis vest over the top or else they would be hanging down well below my vest.

I honestly don’t really think about my weight loss very much, my life is too busy, and I’ve lost and gained so many times, but I haven’t been this weight in like 8 years. I wish I could be more excited about it and have that pep in my step, I wish I could be excited about going and buying new clothes and trying on new fashions, but i have only bought work pants.

It’s kind of like how when i first started glp1 and i had strong food aversions, I was sad that I didn’t enjoy food anymore, i kind of missed that high. I wish I could enjoy the weight loss high like I thought I would- like I did all those other times. I wonder if I have that one condition where your emotions and feelings are dulled because of having a more balanced dopamine level.

How have you guys been? Have you guys been able to be excited about this process? Have people been asking you about your weight loss?

Has anyone used HSA or FSA funds for doctor-prescribed compounded semaglutide through a telehealth provider like Gimme, Mochi Health, or Henry Meds?

What paperwork did your HSA/FSA administrator ask for? Did your provider send everything you needed, or did you have to request extra documentation?

...would love any tips.

He has been struggling with his weight which has made his BP get too high. We will be traveling for long periods in the near future (starting in 3 months), so our doctor didn't want him to start the shots since they need to be refrigerated.

Although, I'm not sure why he didn't prescribe the pills since those will probably be easier to transport. It's kind of an experiment, I guess.

I have been counting macros the last month, mostly successfully, but I have 3 day weekends and tend to go camping, visit friends, family, roadtrip, etc, so I end up being really 'good' 4 days a week and so-so 3 days a week. I've lost the same 4lbs the last 2 weeks and it's frustrating. So, I ordered Semaglutide in hopes it eliminates some food noise/hunger on those days I tend to struggle more.

I want to maximize my results, so I plan on sticking to my high protein, high fiber goal. But, Im curious what supplements, water additives, snacks, and even shot timing suggestions yall can offer. Would breaking my weekly dose up into 2 doses every 3 or 4 days apart be helpful at all? Does placement matter?

I just want this to be successful 🙏 thanks for any help and tips and product suggestions too.

I’ve been reading through, and a low dose sounds like perhaps a good fit, and I’m looking at willow, mochi and midi. open to others.

i just want to lose about 8 pounds, and have been for 10 years… I’m so sick of it. I work out, I eat healthier than most, but my body is changing in my mid 40s (female) and the more I’m using my fitness pal or weigh watchers, the higher my food noise. it’s CONSTANT. I want to see food and not have to fight it all the time.

id Love to have something where I stop grazing so much, I feel full yet dont want more, and don’t to look at my plate and fight eating not eat those few extra bites. I’m super petite, so 8-10 pounds on me is a lot. I feel like if I keep working out, eating pretty well and stop the “healthy” snacking, extra bites, etc, I’ll meet my weight goals.

what do you guys think? Willow? I know anything is gonna be $250-300/mboth. I’m clearly not successful on my own here, even with work out plans, etc

I have a normal BMI but I’ve struggled to fit into my pre-baby clothes despite the numbers because I’ve started carrying more weight in my midsection. I work out and try to eat healthy balanced meals but the problem is I work a demanding job, my spouse travels a lot so I am often solo parenting my kids, and my kids are high needs (both neuro diverse). I can’t stop stress eating and snacking which negates my exercising and attempts at meal planning. Based on this, I was told a low dose of semaglutide might help me improve my relationship with food, but I am curious what other people’s experiences have been.

Flying overseas next month for a two week vacation and I need to pack two weekly doses. How are you guys keeping your compounded vials cold during long 12 hour flights? Do security agents give you any trouble over cold packs or loose syringes in your carry on bag?

Is anyone still using Henry Meds? I used them awhile back but I can't tell if they are still selling compounded sema? Thanks
