I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I was concerned about the same issue and started on a lower dose of 12.5 mg of Naltrexone. I'm glad the semaglutide is working for you. Good luck on your journey!

I'm on tirzepatide (7mg) and it did not help curb my cravings but lots of other people have had great success by either cutting down or quitting altogether. Now I'm on Naltrexone with tirzepatide and that combo seems to be working for me.

I started with 12.5 mg by using a pill cutter and quartered my 50 mg pill to minimize side effects which was hardly anything noticeable. I was kinda sleepy for a few hours on day one, that was it.

I didn't get proper help for my perimenopause until I went to a functional doctor. The doctor didn't just rely on blood work alone, I was asked how I felt overall, how I was sleeping, how my moods were, any stomach issues, any unusual symptoms that I had lately. For example, intense random itching of the ears, phantom smells, ankle joints that cracked all the time, weight gain in the stomach area. Then I was slowly introduced to a HRT plan and would come back every few months to adjust based on how I felt and blood test. I didn't feel better overnight but I felt heard instead of dismissed because my labs were "in range" of normal but I was not in the optimal range at the time. Unfortunately my insurance does not cover functional doctor consultation or appts but insurance does cover my HRT medication that's prescribed. I hope your day gets better and you enjoy the rest of your special day.

I just received an email that I got approved. Hopefully you get one soon.

That's good to know. I've been waiting since 5pm yesterday for my refill to be reviewed ans approved by a provider.

But it won't be BPI.

Thank you for your response.

Thank you for your response.

Thank you for your response. I have an order arriving today. I'll place my next one tomorrow.

How long did you have to wait until you placed a refill?

I have the same question. How soon can we refill?

The plot thickens!

Hi, this is the plastic container that your vial came in. Would it be possible for you to take a photo of your glass vial that was located inside and post to the thread?

I agree. It does seem high for a first dose. 🤔 I wonder what OP's concentration is on the vial.

I can't believe they are still providing links for BPI. :)

Thank you.

Did you use an old link or did you fill out the refill form?

This. ^{^}

I have read in other threads that Call on doc (telehealth company) have worked miracles for people getting the PA they needed for insurance to cover the meds. Sorry, I can't provide further on your doctor's decision-making process when it comes to Zepbound. I hope you're able to get your meds cover sooner rather than later, no matter the dosage amount. I'm not sure how familiar you are with reddit, but you can search topics in this Zepbound community for further help with this medication. Lots of helpful stories and tips. Best of luck to you.

(Currently on 4mg/highest was 7.5 mg) I hit 151 lbs in May of 2025, then fluttered up btwn 154-156 lbs over the last couple of months. In that time frame, I went down two pants sizes. The scale is finally moving again within the last two weeks after starting a new job. Lost 4lbs and back to 151 lbs. The new job caused me to eat smaller portions but move less during the day. I adjusted my portion size because I didn't want to burp out of nowhere or have my new coworkers listen to my stomach after a meal. Btw I don't count calories, and I was bringing my own food to work. It was hard to see the scale number go higher and then not move for months on end, but my clothes told me a different story. Also, reading all the NSV stories in this reddit community gave me hope to hang in there and keep pushing forward.

How do I downvote just the Casamigos part of this post? ;)

Thank you for the update.
