Citizen Meds®Reviews of citizenmeds.com

Ordering and delivery was fast and easy but I have not seen any kind of weight loss after 3 weeks of usage.

I don’t think it has worked as well as my last med I used.

The L-carnitine injections from Citizen Meds have been phenomenally effective for my chronic fatigue. They really work. I’m honestly shocked, because I’ve tried so many other things for fatigue that didn’t help (thyroid hormones, testosterone replacement, NAD+ pills and injections, B12 injections, etc). After learning that people with chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia often have low carnitine levels due to impaired transporters and poor absorption—and that carnitine is essential for mitochondrial fat-to-energy conversion—I decided to try injectable L-carnitine. IM injections seemed intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. I do wish the instructional video were clearer. It looks like the injection is going into the top of the thigh, but proper thigh IM injections should go into the vastus lateralis (upper outer side of thigh), not straight on top. The injection itself does NOT burn, sting, or cause post-injection soreness. This was a huge contrast to ReviveRx’s carnitine, which burned intensely and caused painful muscle aching and limping—even though they’re a big-name compounding pharmacy. After comparing labels, I realized Citizen likely buffers their levocarnitine with NaOH to achieve a near-physiologic pH. They also use a lower concentration (100 mg/mL) and levocarnitine instead of the cheaper L-carnitine HCl form. This clearly explains why Citizen’s injections are comfortable. Major kudos to Citizen Meds for designing a patient-friendly formulation. Because it doesn’t burn the muscle, it also seems to absorb better and faster, and I feel more noticeable benefits than I did with Revive’s version (at least personally). The energy boost is not stimulant-like. It’s very natural. Subtle, yet dramatic compared to my baseline fatigue. It feels like an “I’m 18 again” type of energy—I can function normally, feel good doing it, and only feel tired at night when I should. Otherwise, I’m running on all cylinders. Now for the downside: the dose provided for the price is far too low. Typical fatigue dosing is roughly 350–1,000 mg per day (often around 500 mg per dose, 2–3x weekly). Most telehealth clinics sell 5,000 mg vials for the same price or less than Citizen charges for a 1,000 mg vial. I understand Citizen is using a higher-quality, isotonic formulation, which justifies some price increase—but not to this extent. Even accounting for telehealth overhead and better ingredients, patients should realistically be receiving at least 2,500–3,000 mg per vial. Even with the subscription discount, you’re still getting only a fraction of what local compounders or other clinics typically provide. At the prescribed 100 mg, I felt maybe a 20% improvement. It wasn’t until I reached ~350 mg that I experienced a true life-changing reduction in fatigue (around 75–80%). But that amount uses about 1/3 of the vial, making long-term use prohibitively expensive. I’m also not a fan of the forced $22 expedited shipping. Fast shipping is great, but customers should be able to choose standard vs expedited. Calling it a “perk” when it’s mandatory and paid doesn’t feel accurate. Packaging was excellent. Everything arrived quickly, well-organized, and with needles and alcohol swabs included. However, there was no insert listing side effects or contraindications. Even if it’s “just” an amino acid, patients should receive basic safety information. Customer service has been phenomenal—professional, quick, and responsive. Bottom line: The product works, and it works well. That alone is rare. However, the dosing relative to price is the major problem. If Citizen increased the vial amount while keeping the same high-quality formulation, I would gladly become a long-term subscriber and change this to a 5-star review. For now, I’m giving 3.5 stars solely because the medication itself genuinely reduces fatigue when used at clinically meaningful doses.

Another company playing price games Currently they have a ‘40% off’ promotion but they also raised prices 20% from 2 weeks ago Not sure if I will recommend further

I just started haven’t noticed anything!! Hopefully next order I will feel the meds working

I’ve definitely seen weight loss results and I like the compound that includes B vitamins. I do however think the service is financially misleading. They draw you in with an inexpensive first month and then the price raises steeply each month after. You are given plenty of time to cancel without being charged but each month is a surprising new dollar amount. I decided it is worth it to keep the service because my results have been great but do wish they were more transparent.

The service is fast but this is 2 months in a row that I did not have the full amount to take all 4 of my shots … both months first 3 weeks were foot @ the 75 like prescribed, 2 months ago the fourth shot was at 70, last week my 4 th shot was at 62 …. Not even close.. I will be calling to discuss this and work out a refund or replacement of 13 ml of product I paid for that I didn’t get

Processing and shipping were quick. Semaglutide was more expensive with each dose. I am currently on 1.7 mg after starting 7/11/2025 and have not lost 1 pound. The only thing I feel is less hungry. Very discouraging after spending hundreds of dollars.
