Easy process, ineffective medications
The process was quick and easy so that was a huge plus. For my insomnia, I was disappointed in my first pair of meds. They were extremely low dosage and I found I needed to go back to my OTC sleep aids because they were more effective and kept me asleep all night. I had high hopes for the prescription medication. For the beta blocker, I was extremely disappointed in the flavored meds I received. First off, I thought I was getting the pills and the added cost was for an added supply of the quick dissolve. I was disappointed to only receive the quick dissolve. Then I tried them and thought they were horrible. I wanted to throw the entire bottle away. Lastly, the 3 times I have tried them, I did not notice a difference other than getting drowsy midway through the day. I am sure these are likely low dosage too. Misleading to get prescriptions for drugs that are so low dosage that they are not effective. I would rather get them through my personal doctor that are impactful.

We appreciate you sharing your experience, and we want to clarify a few important points so there’s no misunderstanding. Our clinicians follow evidence-based medical guidelines that recommend starting with the lowest effective dose for any new prescription. This is the safest and most responsible way to prescribe, especially with medications that affect sleep, or situational anxiety. Everyone responds to medication differently, and the vast majority of our patients stay on the lowest dose. If the initial dose isn’t fully effective, we work closely with patients to safely adjust dosage or explore alternative treatments. Regarding the flavored, quick-dissolve option: The dosage is higher than commercial tablets, and this format is designed for faster absorption and convenience compared to standard pills, but we understand taste preferences vary. Our team is always happy to explore alternate formulations or flavors if the first option isn’t a good fit. We know how frustrating insomnia and performance anxiety can be, and our goal is to help you find a solution that works safely, effectively, and with the fewest side effects possible. If you haven’t already, please reach out to our care team in the secure messaging portal and we can review your treatment plan and make adjustments to better meet your needs.
