Refused to refill my normal birth control after 3 years of using it
Used Pill Club for the past 3 years, had no issues. Rebranded to Favor, then my issues started. I would get a years supply of birth control whenever I ordered and never had a problem - this year (after their rebrand) I try to reorder my prescription, and because I stated that I had migraines on my medical questionnaire, they refused to refill that prescription. I tried to talk to someone and explain my migraines are not associated with birth control, and it made no sense to change it now when I've stated for the previous 3 years that I've had migraines. They didn't care and changed me to an entirely different pill anyways. I went from combination to a POP because they said "the combination pill wasn't safe for me." I used it for 3 months, absolutely hated it, and requested to go back to my prior prescription. I talked to one of the Favor workers and their pharmacist, told them both I was having terrible side effects and wanted back on my birth control immediately. This gets relayed to their "nurse practitioners" who then tell me they can only safely prescribe me the POP that I despise and have worse side effects from than my combination pill. I try to text their support and explain the problem. Get another automated text telling me a combination pill isn't safe, because of my migraines (how come you've been prescribing me a combo pill for 3 years then and I've had no issues?). I responded something snarky and then get a response text that says it is not safe to prescribe me ANYTHING at all. Verbatim it says "A medical provider has reviewed your request for birth control and has determined it's not safe to prescribe to you at this time." Because I don't want your garbage POP and want to feel comfortable on my birth control? F*** it, I abandoned Favor at this point. Immediately went online and signed up for Nurx, and got approved for my old prescription back like I wanted originally. Oh, and Favor refuses to give me a refund for the years worth of birth control I ordered that I already told them I won't finish and I will just have to return to some pharmacy. Wasted $100+ out of pocket for terrible birth control and horrible customer service and months worth of bad side effects.
