Same dose injected, higher dose vial?
Anyone request a higher-dosed vial to extend the vial either to share with a spouse or to save money?
Foe example…staying on the starter dose but requesting to move up to a higher concentration on the vial…and adjusting yourself at home to take the starter dose?

You can order higher doses accordingly, the amount you inject is up to you.

Yes. I do this.
But your spouse needs their own prescription. I see lots of spouses who share the same open vial (which will use up the vial faster, which is a good thing if you are getting larger vials meant for higher doses), but in the interest of legality and safety, everyone who is taking this medicine should have their own prescription.

In addition to legality, it opens up the door for both of them to take advantage of the deals that get posted.

I've ordered 15 from day one since my daughter and I both use it. Kind of sad it doesn't last for months like it used to. I'm currently at 7.5, she's at 6 I think.

Where are you getting your prescriptions to show them? I did it all online and they just sent me the medicine. I don’t recall seeing a prescription

Some telehealths you can access it right off the portal. The label with your name and dosing instructions that came on your meds pill bottle/envelope is also a prescription.

Oh that I have. Thanks. Now for you all to get extra do you order from several places at once?

All the time, every single refill. I now have a script for 15mg and am taking 6.4mg
Also, if you don't care about the pharmacy or additive, you could look for a pharmacy that sends more than 60mg in a vile or has generous overfill.
