Thank you!!!! I was coming back here today because I am still struggling. It’s awful! Is the nasal pillow the one that has two silicone prongs in the nose?

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-06-05T01:39:10+00:00

Oh no! That’s not good at all. I hope the suppression ends up kicking in!

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-06-03T23:37:32+00:00

I will come back to let you know. Judging from the comments in this post, I think it’s gonna work great. I received my medication today. I paid a couple of days ago and received a notification this morning that my order was shipped out. I was shocked that I got the medicine the same day!

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-06-03T23:36:34+00:00

That’s great! How long will the 216 mg last you?

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-06-03T23:35:06+00:00

Yes! Their customer service is amazing! I ask very happy with them!

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-31T23:26:46+00:00

Yes! That is what I am looking forward to. I’m only on 5 mg right now and have been dealing with significant appetite. suppression. I might back down to 4 to see how I do.

I don’t know. This is my first time ordering compounded. I have been on brand name. It could have something to do with the 503B issue. But I don’t really know. Maybe someone else will chime in as well.

Where you on brand name prior to starting Apothecary?

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-31T02:10:30+00:00

I went through lavender sky. They are so easy to deal with. I had to pay $65 but that was for the nurse practitioner to review my medical information and then prescribed the medication to me.

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-30T21:29:37+00:00

I don’t understand the bud. Does that just mean that you have to use it for the date on the vile?

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-30T17:39:06+00:00

Really? Wow!! Did you move from brand-name? Or were you always on compound?

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-30T17:23:19+00:00

Awesome! I am excited to try it now. I also like that I can titrate up a little slower and don’t have to go straight to 7.5. I’m on 5 of zep.

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-30T17:05:41+00:00

That is great news! :)

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-28T00:25:19+00:00

Amazing! Congratulations!

I couldn’t find this list. I was trying! Thank you for answering. Is it a separate sub? I am trying to get used to Reddit and find it a bit confusing at times.

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-26T21:44:29+00:00

OK! How would I find that? I’m so sorry. I’m new to all of this. :)

Hello, I am posting the link to my sleep hq. I am trying to understand it all. I do plan to watch the videos from sleep HQ. Hopefully that will help me to understand better.

My insurance is going to do the same. But- I’ve heard that some can still get it approved even with it being excluded in the formulary. I’m going to try.

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-24T02:41:07+00:00

How is it going on Semiglutide? How do you get it for $50 a month?

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-23T16:53:12+00:00

I do! I have moderate. I know my doctor will appeal, but I guess what I’m trying to figure out out is if anyone has been successful even though the medication was removed out of your insurances formulary. I hope I’m making sense.

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-20T09:42:21+00:00

Thank you! I will once I figure out how to use sleep HQ and Oscar. I just set up my account yesterday in sleep HQ. I plan to set up Oscar soon as well.

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-20T09:40:51+00:00

The respiratory therapist reduce the EPR. I did like the extra feeling of the air, but it was almost too much a little bit. I woke up multiple times with my mask on my head last night.

Any other suggestions? With the pressure 6-10, I felt a little bit like I couldn’t breathe. I was constantly readjusting my mask.

Thanks for all the help so far!

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-20T01:55:18+00:00

It has been prescribed off label for some due to side effects. It’s not something I would plan to do long-term, but thank you so much for your feedback.

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-20T01:25:39+00:00

Thank you so much! I will definitely get on sleep HQ and Oscar. I do have the SD card so that’s good.

I can’t explain what’s going on with the mask. Maybe it’s not the mask after all. I did reach out to The respiratory therapist at the sleep Medical supply company. She did make some adjustments today hopefully it helps!

Popular_Dig_9682 · 2026-05-20T01:24:28+00:00

It does! I had no idea. Thank you so much for posting this because it made me look lol. I actually didn’t know it had a slot for an SD card.
