Has anyone used ro or a similar service to get Ozempic/Wegovy etc. I was prescribed it by a doctor about six months ago, but could not get the prior authorization from my insurance company and could not get the pharmacy to fill it without the prior auth. I know it can be very expensive without insurance, so I’m curious how much it ends up costing people who go through these kinds of services to get it.

It's expensive, and please know that there may be severe side effects. I had to stop my doses due to side effects. And there went my dollars.

No. I have a legit doc that takes good care of me. Don’t trust those shitty pill mill docs.

I’ve been on Ozempic for 3 months. Lost 15 pounds so far and my blood sugar is super stable. Highly recommend.

Don’t listen to the whiners who can handle a lifetime of being fat, joint pain, heart problems, etc… but can’t take a little stomach ache once a week.

I went through InvigorMedical and get a semaglutide compound shipped to me monthly (they mix theirs with b12). I also work out 3 times a week, loosely track my macros, and make sure to stay on top of my water intake. I’m just hitting my 4th week and have already lost 10 pounds and no longer think about food all the time. It’s a little pricey, about $390 a month but I maxed my HSA this year and just pay for it out of that.

Only 3 to 4 months.

I went from 190 to 159 just from diet and exercise a few years back, but I got all the way back up to 205 this year after falling off of my workout routine due to busy season at work.

I just needed a little help getting my blood sugar regulated again so that I could actually start dropping weight again.

Have you heard there’s a new drug? It will have different requirements and will not have to be diabetic.
The drug companies are working to make it more achievable to get but making different versions of ozempic and monjaurno.

I desperately need help/guidance from someone, I tried going to some therapists but they just emphasize antidepressants.

Below are my thoughts rn: Man, I’m 28 and such a bum. I work a job I hate, I have no social circle. I have never had a gf. All these things are so challenging because I’m autistic. I can’t change that. What’s the point of living when society treats ppl like me like I don’t matter. Maybe I should just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I don’t have to deal with life anymore.

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?

Does anyone have any advice for supporting and coping with someone going through withdrawal? My husband is trying to quit his weed addiction and he has been irritable and mean since he quit.

Just feel like I'm walking on eggshells and I'm emotionally exhausted at this point. Is there anything I can do to help him? Is there anything I can do to help myself cope?

This is an emotional dump rn. It may be lack of social interaction but I'm really frustrated lately. I feel like I lost last 2.5 years of my life with ongoing lockdowns and job instability in the first half of the pandemic. I was 28 turing 31. I get good dates but -ve self talk
