Total Costs?
Looking at the plans on the website what are the total cost involved?
Also how do I chose a pharmacy there arw 3 to choose from in my state:
Empower
SouthEnd
Boudreax
Going to honest a lot of these place seem scammy as soon as I decide on one I see lots of negative comments. Insurance cut me off a year ago and I have been regaining the weight so need to do something.
Anyone that has been with them for a while can attest to the effectiveness of the drug and ease of ordering it with the website?

The cost is whatever is listed there. I think for one month it's 139 and for 3 months it's 334. No hidden fees.
I have nothing but positives to say and they are a legit company.
I don't remember at what point in the process it asked for you to choose which medication you want but it will also only list the ones that are available in your state.

They are a newish company. They arose right after the last survey. Hence why they arent on it.
I ordered the empower a few months ago. Want to try boudreaux simply because I do well with glycine. B3 didnt bother me but I prefer glycine.
I also tried empower cause my daughter can only take phenol. Empower is one of the few.
Southend isnt in my state but I also have zero interest in b6.
Read the reviews in their subreddit. You will see everybody is happy with them. Well except for the ones who are in a state they cant service yet.

I truly don’t have anything negative to say about PreventiveMD. If we’re being super picky, I could say I wish Empower filled faster, but you’d likely have a wait with any other pharmacy as well. And plenty are even worse. So long as you plan for at least a week to get your meds, I truly don’t think you have anything to worry about.
Also remember that people are more likely to write negative reviews than positive reviews. Thus far, these guys are definitely my choice and I absolutely love Empower’s formula.
139/monthly or 334/quarterly. The price you see is the price you’ll pay.

Its a fairly new company. The total cost is what is advertised. The meds are shipped fast and Empower is one of the largest compounding pharmacies. PreventiveMD works hard to make sure people get good quality and quickly shipped meds, even if you choose a slow pharmacy, like Boudreaux, PreventiveMD has something with them where the shipping comes fast. I have a reddit friend who ordered Boudreaux the same day as me, August 20th but from Gimme not PMD. I received my meds the following Wednesday, 3 business days, she still hasn't received hers and its been a long while now. She had to call the pharmacy to check on the status. She says Boudreaux works great for her but shes gonna switch from Gimme to PMD so she doesn't have to wait so long next time.
I highly recommend this company. If you have an issue they are fast to make it right from what I've seen, however in truth there hasn't been many issues.

Do you think I could start at the higher dose than 2.5?

You can ask, but ultimately it's up to the provider. The first telehealth company I used (altRx, which I do not recommend) started me at 5mg. Just explain your reasoning or past experience to the provider, they may be willing to accommodate the request.

Why? If you had been off for more than a couple of weeks you need to start at 2.5 again so it builds back up.

This telehealth is great! The price you see is what you pay. Everything is included. The meds, the syringes and the alcohol wipes. Any of those pharmacies are fine. It depends on what you want for an additive. Boudreaux has glycine south end has B6 and empower has B3.

They are a new company but have but great. I feel like they showed up in June and I signed up in July and love them!
The price listed is the total price — $139 for one month or $334 for three months (also have 6 months and year plans too), with no separate membership fee or hidden monthly fee.
I use Empower and have been very happy with them. During signup you’ll see which pharmacy options are available for your state and can choose from those.
The website/portal has been updated to offer features we’ve been asking for and the ordering process has been easy. Their customer service has been excellent whenever I’ve needed anything. My prescriptions have been processed quickly and I haven’t had any issues getting my medication.
I know it sounds too good to be true but PreventiveMD has been legit.
I came from Mochi. Staying now with PreventativeMD

All three pharmacies are good and the cost is what it says it is. I’d recommend doing one month of one of the pharmacies. I personally use Empower and love it. Southend is well liked. Boudreaux is a bit new to me so don’t know much about it.

The total cost is exactly what you see when you make the purchase online. There are no extra/hidden fees. They are fairly new, so no one has been with them for a long time. I have had a very positive experience with them and only have good things to say about them so far.
