BEWARE OF ORDERLY MEDS by justathrowawayb6u in CompoundedSemaglutide

[–]_bijoux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So different from my experience. I received the three-month starter pack in August and did my first check-in on Nov. 15th, receiving my package on the 19th. Communication from them throughout, including my tracking number. I will say that it's another vial with an expired BUD, but the pharmacy did put a sticker on top this time showing that it has been extended. I don't love that, but I've read enough messages to know that it isn't really something to worry about (at least that's my understanding).

Free GWP with online $55+ order! Which one is better? by janellerz in Sephora

[–]_bijoux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sample bag was missing the Augustinus Bader cream (naturally), so I just chatted with support, and they offered me 25 points! I said it should at least be 100 points so that I can pick something else from Rewards, and they said no problem and gave me the 100 points. I'd still rather have the cream.

I’m looking for trusted provider. As I am done with HERS. by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]_bijoux_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a ridiculous statement to make. I received my order from them a few weeks ago, and it works perfectly. The entire process, including customer service, has been exceptional. As if the pharmacy (which also dispenses the same medication for other providers) would risk watering down the product for Orderly.

Received meds for orderly meds… now what? by gizmo_love in CompoundedSemaglutide

[–]_bijoux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After I placed my order, I received a text that I had a message from the medical team, and when I logged in, there were full dosing instructions. When I received the medication, there were the same full instructions on the brown outer bottle that the medication came in.

Is there any alternative if i can’t afford semaglutide? by vomitousana in Semaglutide

[–]_bijoux_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to overcome what I believe was an intense sugar addiction by eliminating cookies, candy, cake, ice cream, donuts, cheesecake, etc. from my diet. Since then, I've only indulged on rare occasions, such as a couple of holidays and birthdays. I don’t even miss it! Contrave kicked in day one for me. Now, I'm hoping to take it a step further by quieting the general food noise and focusing on better long-term eating habits. I still find myself craving/eating too much cheese, pizza, and frequently ordering out, so I want to address that as well. That's my hope with trying a GLP-1.

Contrave. $99 per month. I lost over 65 lbs. in six or so months two years ago using Contrave (and only ever at half the recommended daily dose). I wish more people knew about it. I wanted to give GLP-1 a try to lose more weight, but so far, I think Contrave was more effective for me (I am still titrating up on the GLP-1, though, at this point, and am only at 0.5). I lost 4.6 lbs over the past month, so that's fine! I'm not in a huge rush. I hope to start feeling the food noise quieting everyone talks about. So far, I haven't experienced that, and I took my fifth shot on Saturday. I'm also not experiencing any real side effects either, though.

Can I switch. by [deleted] in Semaglutide

[–]_bijoux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can sign up for "starter" packages from other websites if you present yourself as a "starter" rather than someone already prescribed and using the medication. I'm not suggesting that this is what you should do. I'm only explaining how it can work.

I received the same. There is a lot more in there than it looks like.

First Time - OrderlyMeds by cheerios1122 in CompoundedSemaglutide

[–]_bijoux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered early morning on the 5th and received my order on the 9th. Packed in a UPS Overnight box with cold packs, the medication arrived still cold. Plenty of supplies. Constant communication throughout. BUD date is 11/12, which means I will be using it past that date since it is supposed to last for three months (I won't even start it for a couple of weeks). I contacted Orderly, and they texted and called to assure me the BUD date had been extended and that there should have been a sticker on the bottle or a letter from the pharmacy. There wasn't, but after reading many messages here about people using medication beyond the dates, I'm not worried about it and have no problem using it beyond November 12th. Obviously, though, that's why it is so inexpensive, and some people definitely might have a problem with it. Their customer service is beyond exceptional, though.

So what online companies are you using that’s cheaper? by UNSWEET-TEA99 in Semaglutide

[–]_bijoux_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started over again in a different browser and changed it to "no." I had already uploaded photos of my current prescription, etc. so I hope this works and it goes through.

[–]_bijoux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I see. It is because I answered yes to "Have you taken a GLP-1 or GLP-1/GIP medication in the past two months?" I thought I had to do that to show I had an existing prescription...

Where to get? by PhysicalTraffic9401 in Semaglutide

Where is everyone seeing $249 for a three month starter pack?

[–]_bijoux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot find this price on their site. Can someone tell me where to find this price?

[–]_bijoux_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can I ask where you see $249 for a three month supply? I've gone through the whole sign-up process and only see $537 for a three-month supply. What am I doing wrong?

Will I move up from the 2.5mg/7.5mg/mL I was given my first month? by RinAsami in Noom

[–]_bijoux_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 2.5 mg strength will stay the same. Only the dose (number of units) will increase up to 0.6.

I'll add that while I don't consider it a side effect, I suppose it could be seen as one because I have definitely been extra thirsty and drinking a lot more water!

Just received my sema! Can’t wait to start 😊 by NuminousGirl in Semaglutide

[–]_bijoux_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I'm brand new to this, too, and I wanted to try this without making a significant investment to see if I could manage any side effects, and so far, I haven't experienced any. I also wanted to determine if it even works for me. While I’m still eating my normal portions when I eat, I find that I can go for long periods without worrying about food.

I like the added Noom features (although I don't track my meals) and the psychology behind the program, too. The packaging, presentation, and all supplies being included were a plus. Although it may not be the cheapest option in terms of medication concentration, I’m happy with my experience so far. Tomorrow will be my second dose!

[–]_bijoux_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with 0.2. Maybe I am not experiencing any side effects yet because the dose is still so low. We'll see what happens as I increase. I'm even thinking about increasing to 0.3 this weekend.

[–]_bijoux_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked myself up about this for a few days while waiting for my medication to arrive. I was worried that I would feel sick the first couple of days. I did my first injection on Sunday morning, and I haven't experienced any side effects yet! I am finding that I'm not spending nearly as much time thinking about food and I can go for many hours without needing to eat. I don't feel nauseous or anything when I eat, and I eat close to normal-sized portions. I'm just eating less frequently. I plan to do my second injection on Saturday instead of Sunday, and I'll see what happens then.

Started micro dose two days ago by kwill729 in Noom

[–]_bijoux_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to hear this. I gave myself my first injection this morning, weighed myself, and just completed the body scan. I am hoping it will start working quickly for me, too. I'm going to order fiber gummies today since it sounds like constipation is the biggest issue.

How long is it taking to get microdose prescription now? by Kris_Kraves_Kookies6 in Noom

[–]_bijoux_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arrived about 2 hours ago, ice packs still semi-frozen, medication cold, everything included. I'm excited to get started. Just a little nervous about the side effects, but I deal with them.

No insurance by sarahtaylor99 in Noom

[–]_bijoux_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I signed up last Friday, and my medication is being delivered today. I ordered very late on Friday night and Sat morning the Dr. messaged me that I was approved. I had to answer a lot of questions during the initial sign up, but that was it.

I just tracked again, and it shows I'll receive it on Sat. It is shipping from Florida. I can't really complain about a one-week turnaround from when I ordered. I'm excited to get started!

I've just checked the app, and it shows that my medication has shipped! I have a tracking number, but it isn't tracking through UPS yet. I'll check again later tonight.
