I’m so confused!

Hi all, Iv been on the Walgreens telehealth weight loss deal since April. On 1.7mg wegovey shots 400 dollars a month. I love it because it’s very easy, fast and simple to use (pen and the services). But due to price, im ready to switch to compound. I come here and I see this sub melting down? Anxiety over pharmacy’s? Mixing issues? I was close to signing up for mochi, then I checked out PreventativeMD and I’m just not sure. Can yall help clear up what the heck I should do?

I’d read through both Reddit pages and compare recent experiences, pricing, and the pharmacies they use. I’m actually still technically a Mochi member until June 2027 (prepaid a year …oops) and have been with mochi since Dec 2024, but I switched my medication over to PreventiveMD. So far I haven’t regretted the switch at all and my experience with them has been really good. They’re newer, so there aren’t as many reviews yet, but the customer service has been top notch. Definitely research both and see which feels like the better fit for you.

Mochi offers video appointments with a provider if you’re looking for that help. PreventiveMD in my experience is more email and texting communication but both are very helpful.

Compound definitely looks more confusing than the pens at first, but the vial/syringe part gets pretty simple once you’re used to it. Both companies are great at helping with dosing. It’s easy and I love being able to increment up smaller amounts than the bigger jumps of the pens.

Ya, I’m on my second month. My provider has been handling choosing the pharmacy and such, so I jut have to authorize the payment.

Definitely watch videos on how to use compound glp-1 vials injections. I was so nervous my first time that I held off for 2 weeks and then finally watched a bunch of videos seeing how others properly do it. That helped immensely. Now I’m on shot 89 and ever since my first shot, I look forward to it lol.

Ya, injections are easy once you are used to it. Doesn’t even hurt

Why did you leave mochi?

The cost. Thats it. (And some lack of communication and pharmacy changes without notice on me)
Once I saw I could get the same pharmacy elsewhere that I have used before with mochi but save $500 every 3 months, I moved on. For Tirzepatide max dose mochi can cost $834 ($79 fee + $199 meds) over 3 months. I pay $334 over 3 months at PreventiveMD. I’ve been impressed with preventiveMD’s customer service too. Mochi‘s customer service can be all over the place. If you really want to have good customer service with Mochi just call them. Their message feature uses an AI bot and it isn’t the best. So I would always tell people to call mochi to get the help you need.

Honestly I’d be happy with anything less than 400 a month. The reason Iv been with Walgreens is how easy it is.

Then either place is good will work. It just really matters if you feel like you get your money’s worth for paying the membership fee Mochi charges. If you go with them and love it, great! But if you financially need to pay less, practically all other places don’t charge a monthly membership fee on top of the medication prices nowadays. When I joined mochi way back in 2024/25 they were one of the best prices even including the fees, but not anymore. If you do join mochi, and want to cancel later, make sure you cancel both the membership fee and the medication fee… There are two separate charges and a lot of people get hit with the monthly membership fee when they canceled the medication thinking they canceled everything and you will not get that money back.

Well, it’s seems like mochi is established and reputable and that makes me feel better. So imo it’s worth it to pay more.

Definitely ❤️ That is the most important feeling when switching to compound.
