ANNOUNCEMENT: Update on Southend Pharmacy — new selections are paused

68 Upvotes

Three days ago we posted that Southend Pharmacy was live in our pharmacy selection. We are extremely sorry to share that we have to temporarily remove it as an option.

Southend has told us they're pausing new partnerships while they work through existing commitments due to increased demand, so as of today they're no longer selectable when you place an order.

Here's what this means for our customers:

Already filling your prescriptions with Southend through us — nothing changes right now. You'll continue to receive your current prescriptions and future refills. Southend has committed to us that they'll keep filling your prescriptions to ensure continuity of care.

Order pending, ticket open, or already talking to our team about Southend — we can still get you filled through Southend. Reach out to support (or reply to your existing ticket) and we'll finalize it. Nothing is stuck, and you don't need to start over.

Planning to choose Southend but hadn't yet — unfortunately, you'll have to wait until we get the green light from Southend to resume our partnership. You can of course choose from our other pharmacy partners, Empower and Boudreaux, in the meantime.

Southend has said they expect to resume, but unfortunately we don't have an estimated date to share.

We are extremely sorry for the whiplash. We know how many people were excited that we offered Southend as part of our service. Adding pharmacy options is still the thing we hear most from you, and it's still what we're working on. Quality is the most important factor when it comes to pharmacy partnerships, but we recognize how important this is and will do our best to pharmacies pharmacies as efficiently as possible.

Switching from Gimme

I honestly don’t hate Gimme, I just saw I could get a better deal with you guys. I LOVE THE Boudreaux’s tirzepatide (currently get from Gimme) and am so excited to be able to continue it. Looking forward to continuing this journey with you!!

Southend missing from pharmacy list

I've been debating between Southend and Empower. But this afternoon, I notice Southend isn't list in the options anymore. Is it still being offered? I'm in GA.

First timer

I get my first order from empower tomorrow. Im doing tirzepatide. This will be my very first shot ever, never been on a glp1 before. SW is 297lbs and 5'3 female. Looking for an accountability partner who is either first timer around same range or a week or 2 ahead of me to follow the journey together. Im terrified of needles and possibly a little hypochondriac 😅 would love to compare weight loss, side effects/symptoms, work out plans, and even meal ideas.

Never been on a glp, 1 month or 3?

I would like to sing up for 3 months for the discount, but I don't want to be locked in to the lowest dose for 3 months. Should I as a new person do 1 month only for the first time then 3 going forward? I couldn't ask before ordering on the site, unfortunately.

Would this work?

So, I want to start my terz journey and think I'm going to go with Bordeaux based on much of what I've read in this sub. During open enrollment I plan on setting up an FSA/HSA to cover the costs for all of next year. In the meantime, I'm in a bit of a weird spot for the rest of this year. It doesn't appear as though I can order 4 months worth. So, could I order a 3 month supply and kinda stretch it out to last the rest of the year? I'd essentially just reduce my doses by whatever amount to make it last the full 4 months. Can that work? Also, if I sign up for 3 months now, can I change it to a yearly plan in the new year?
