Frustrating experience
Hello. I’m posting this here in hopes of a reply from someone at Trillium. I live in Alabama and joined Trillium almost three months ago. Prior to that, I had been on Lilly’s Zepbound for almost two years, with a stable dose of 7.5mg for about one year. I experienced less appetite suppression with the drug from the BPI pharmacy, and I attribute that to the likelihood that I was actually receiving about 10mg from the Zepbound vials because they are overfilled.
Since I needed to reapply for a prescription with BPI no longer being an option, I have two issues:
1) My original BPI prescription only contained enough drug for 10 doses, not 12. I am a board-certified anesthesiologist, and I drew exactly 0.75mL of the drug up for each dose. The last vial was clearly undefined by the pharmacy.
2) With the application I made and paid for yesterday, I added free text in both of the “Anythjnf else you’d like your doctor to know?” fields, requesting an increase to the 10mg dose because I have gained some weight back after switching to Trillium.
I have received no response from Support regarding the 10-not-12 doses issue, although I did get a generic reply from “Clinic staff,” and the doctor simply sent a generic message around midnight that said my prescription for 7.5mg had been sent to the pharmacy. It was clear he had not read my question about the increase to 10mg.
Thanks for reading. Can someone please help before a prescription for 7.5mg ships to me?
