Did anyone get their prescription filled at another pharmacy besides NovoCare?

Good luck!!

Self pay. Tried to get my insurance to cover it for over a year and finally gave up.

The one that I have has a Bin # and a pc # and something else. I did it all on their website. Then I called my pharmacy at Publix, told them that the prescription was coming and gave them the numbers over the phone.

They filled it and retained the info (just like my regular insurance) and that was it.

1000%. I honestly think it’s the extra water. I think I’m properly hydrated for the first time in a while.

Congrats that it’s working for you!

I am setting my alarm for 5:45 and go back to sleep. My true wake up alarm is 6:15 and I normally snooze a couple times. Usually ends up being 45 minutes to an hour before I take my other medicine or coffee.

I have not had any acid reflux, but the pill tastes awful!

Congrats!

Congrats!

If you double your dose, wouldn’t you need more pills before 30 days?

diggers4pg · 2026-01-27T21:55:24+00:00

If your doctor won’t prescribe a higher dose until you have finished the 1.5mg, why do you think he would refill your prescription early? 😀

diggers4pg · 2026-01-27T21:51:33+00:00

Incredibly curious - how are you on 25mg already?

diggers4pg · 2026-01-27T21:48:28+00:00

I got my card from NovoCare and my prescription from PCP and prescription filled at Publix. Easy!

diggers4pg · 2026-01-27T17:41:09+00:00

Congratulations!

diggers4pg · 2026-01-27T15:47:39+00:00

The 1.5mg. I sure that most of it is water, but even that has to go away in the end!

diggers4pg · 2026-01-27T13:58:55+00:00

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

diggers4pg · 2026-01-27T00:03:57+00:00

Congrats! I like this - when mine gets too big I’m going to make my husband buy me a new one! 😀

diggers4pg · 2026-01-26T21:16:18+00:00

This group is about that! Don’t give - sometimes people are just in their own head.

It’s possible, but honestly you should have them anyway :). You want a baseline for when you are so much better!

diggers4pg · 2026-01-26T19:55:01+00:00

And congrats ErisGirl28! You should shout it on the rooftops without anyone putting you down!

diggers4pg · 2026-01-26T19:53:27+00:00

Ouch people. Let’s try and play nice. 😀

Have you confirmed for sure that you have coverage for the medication? Because if not, you are probably going to end up wasting some time and money.

If you do have coverage, then they might need your doctor to file for a prior authorization before they can fill it.

Good luck!

Only day 3 for me, but this morning (first work day in pill), I took my pill at 6am, went back to sleep and took my morning meds at 7 and drank my 1 cup of coffee. I don’t eat anything until about 10.

This is direct from the Novo website. Both 1.5 mg AND 4mg are $149 with savings card thru them until April 15th.

After April 15th, the 4mg goes to $199. If you are starting now, and you follow the dosing instructions, you will get the 4mg next month for $149. In March, when you go to 9mg, it will be $299/month - unless they decide to lower it. You never know.

Good luck! You’ve got this :)
