Zepbound works, Lilly Direct works, Good Rx, no.
My doctor recommended GLP-1 medications to assist me in losing weight because of my heart conditions; he recommended Zepbound. Because these medications are so expensive, I decided to try GoodRx to get Zepbound from Lilly Direct, which offers them at a substantial discount. The first month was fine, but the second month, when I was entering my weight data in the GoodRx app, I made a mistake and entered a wrong number , but when I tried to go back and correct it, the app had already recorded it. So I ended up with 2 entries, one erroneous, giving my weight as 182, and one correct, with my actual weight, 174 . When I received my prescription, it was for the same 2.5 mg. as in the first month. I didn’t challenge it at that time, but figured they knew what they were doing, so I went ahead and took that dosage. Then in the 3rd month, when I went to get the refill, I was prescribed the same 2.5 mg. as in the previous 2 months. When I asked for an increase to 5mg., I got the fatuous response “You’re doing fine on 2.5. You don’t want to lose weight too fast. You can probably stay at that dosage forever.” Since I had not lost any weight at all in the second month, I sent a message informing them of that. So finally somebody woke up and asked me to clarify my weight, which I did and explained the data entry error: on 9 March I went down to 167, where my weight fluctuated between 164.5 and 168 until the end of March. So now in the 3rd month, I finally I had my dosage increased to 5mg., but now I’m almost back where I started. Today, I see my weight has gone up to 171.2. I did not increase my calories and stayed under 1200/day. So instead of losing weight, I actually gained 6 pounds. I sent several messages to them about this, but in 4 days now, have received no response from them except a message saying that they had received my message, and someone will get back to me as soon as someone is available. I guess they all left for Easter vacation. Or permanently out to lunch. I’m not just dissatisfied, I’m furious! As I see it, somebody owes me $339 for a wasted month, and that’s not even talking about the aggravation.
