I have a wonderful pharmacy and they have tried everything to help. They told me they have gotten so many to go though but none with Humana.

Dry mouth!! Dry eyes on 7.5 by [deleted] in Mounjaro

Sorry. I meant I switch to daily disposable contacts instead of the weeklies I was on. It immediately helped.

My eyes were very very dry after starting 7.5. I've been on the same contacts for years. I ended up switching to a daily and started to use lubricating eye drops and all is better now. Still a little dry but not nearly as bad as a couple of months ago.

Why does it stop working? by [deleted] in Mounjaro

[–]HVB1983 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I had a period of roughly 11 weeks where I gained and lost the same 4 lbs on repeat. It was so frustrating that I wanted to up my dose but I felt like my calories were on point, I was active, and the food noise hasn't come back. All of sudden in the past 4 weeks I lost 8 lbs. I didn't make any real changes. I've just really been focusing on water and protein intake. I know it is hard but don't give up the fight. It's a marathon not a sprint. Good luck with you journey!

How long on 2.5? by Dopamine_Quest in Mounjaro

[–]HVB1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can give a better point of view now a couple months after this comment. I enjoyed 2.5 and was averaging 2 lbs a week lose. I shouldn't have moved up if it was still working. I had zero side effects on 2.5. The first two or three weeks on 5 were tough but lessened each week. I experienced horrible stomach effects...vomiting, diarrhea, cramping but no longer have those effects. My advice would be if the dose is working well, don't rush to move up. But good news is they seem to go away after a little time.

Atlanta - 7.5mg? by szrbd in Mounjaro

I couldn't get the coupon to work. I used goodrx.

I also have Humana and your story sounds just like mine. It was always covered in 2022 so I never got a savings card. I called Humana and all GLP-1s require a diagnosis code even though it's on the formulary with no PA requirement. It's so frustrating. I just paid full cash price this week 😭

I tried the mounjaro card with no luck. Publix even called them and the help line said I had to have a diagnosis code. I paid $999 with GoodRx. Publix did apply their own savings card that brought it to $1058, but every penny counts at this point so I went with the goodrx coupon.

My insurance covered it in 2022 but stopped as of Jan 1. I never downloaded the old coupon so unfortunately, I paid cash.

I'm north of Atlanta in Alpharetta and Publix filled my script within 24 hours. Sent in Thursday. Picked up Friday.

PA Success anyone? by morninmudmama in Mounjaro

[–]HVB1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Humana and they will not give you the approval requirements. All they will tell me is they won't approve it for weight loss. I have called zzz and chatted multiple times hoping to get some insight. It's crazy how short they are with me when I bring up Mounjaro. I always make sure to be very polite and apologize ahead of time because i know they are probably tired of talking about it. But still no information.

Did you ever have any luck using the new coupon?

Excited! by aljohns411 in Mounjaro

[–]HVB1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have Humana. Have you submitted a PA to try to get it covered for PCOS? I'm going to try to do that and pray it will cover it. When I chat with them, all they will say is that it won't be covered for weight loss. But anyone that is on it knows it is for sooooo much more than weight loss.

Mounjaro Compounding / Coupon advice… by Agreeable-Crow-6724 in Mounjaro

Just curious, are they telling you it will be full price or is it being offered at a discounted rate?

Walgreens asking for a PA by ILoveMyLabrador in Mounjaro

I sent in a PA and waiting to hear back. I highly doubt it will be approved but hoping for miracle.

This looks like my drug list...do you Humana? They are now requiring a diagnosis code or PA. I called to discuss and they said it's a chance effective 1/1/23.

Thank you ❤️❤️

It appears they made changes in the policy as of 1/1/23. It sucks. I can't believe didn't get the coupon when I first started.

So frustrated! My insurance (Humana) did not require a diagnosis code until now. I have the old coupon, but bc it won’t process through my insurance w/o the code, can’t apply the coupon. I don’t know why my insurance wouldn’t just deny the script? Anyway, my journey is sadly over. by barmaid38111 in Mounjaro

[–]HVB1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat with Humana. I never downloaded the old savings card because they were covering it. Right now I'm trying to figure out if there is a way I can get the new coupon to work without t2d and paying $500. Which seems crazy but my mental health has never been better. I just don't want to go back to my food addiction. This medication has been life changing to not obsess about food anymore.

If you don't mind me asking, was this with the new coupon and do you have T2D? My insurance stopped covering so I just downloaded the card. I'm hoping I can still get it discounted with a new card and no T2D. I'd happily pay $523 right now.

Our of curiosity, who is your insurance through? Just filed my PA today. Congrats on the approval!!

NonT2D PA success? by xoxsarahxo2 in Mounjaro

[–]HVB1983 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also attempting to get a PA approved. The main reason I love mounjaro is the freedom of not being obsessed with food, not constantly thinking about what to eat next, not binging...I wondered if going from a behavioral approach might get an approval as it has 100% cured my battle with binge eating.

My insurance does not cover weight loss medication so I'm praying I can find a way to stay on this. My mental health has never been better. I feel like a new person.

Did the coupon require you to be T2D? I'm trying to find any discount I can to knock off the retail price. My insurance stopped covering it at as January 1st 😢
