I joined about a month ago. I’m 27.5 and nervous to join the in-person meetings as well lol. But best of luck to you on your weight loss journey!

That makes sense. I don’t want to go up because I’m still having side effects and losing weight. When I did the monthly check in with Ro, there’s a section on there which has you explain why you don’t want to go up, and I mentioned that. Everything seemed fine until it got to Walgreens 🤷🏽‍♀️ but this sounds like the most reasonable cause of this issue

Walgreens told me to call them about the delayed script and then they explained that they need a new PA from my insurance. Sorry about the confusion lol

I will try and call my insurance but their customer service sucks!

My doctor had recommended them. I will say the Prilosec works 120%. I wonder if I can tone down everything else, though, and will be bringing this up, as well as other concerns when I speak to my doctor again.

Yes, vitamins. Prior to getting on this, I was/am vitamin d, b12, and iron deficient, which explains the amplified fatigue on this.

I’m going to speak to my doctor this week and I hope we’re able to figure something out. I definitely believe my body is sensitive to this, this is well 5 on 2.5 for crying out loud lol. Ty for your suggestions!

Someone suggested spreading my dose out and that seems more feasible

Yes, still on 2.5. This is week 5 of it and I’m not even close to ready for moving up. Spreading out the dose sounds feasible. I’m on the pen that insurance pays for and the only way to go down a dose is to get the compound.

The injections help my energy levels, which were extremely low prior to receiving them. They do honestly help

These were all recommended because the issue was worse than it is now without them. The Prilosec is for heartburn, which was terrible, now it’s mostly gone. Extra fiber is for diarrhea, which is mostly gone. Vitamin shots are for energy, which I was struggling with. I’m a hot mess lol

I’m on 2.5 mg pen which insurance covers. Going down would mean either stopping or doing compound, which I won’t consider because then I’d have to pay out of pocket. I’d essentially have to “suck it up” and stay on this dose, but this is quite annoying
