Are there any good companies out there with fair pricing?

I’ve had terrible experiences with two companies already and I’m almost ready to throw in the towel. :( I started with Gimme Care, but they were terrible as far as shipping times and medication arriving warm go. Their dosing instructions also didn’t seem to make much sense compared to what I was seeing online (I spent two months at the lowest possible starting dose). I’d do finally gotten increased, but after another delayed and warm shipment, I ended up deciding to switch to Embody. They were more affordable and I thought they were worth a try.

They have been a nightmare. They requested my prescription so they could maintain my dosing, but even after I provided it, they started me at 2.125mg. I’ve been arguing with them about that for well over a month at this point and they’ve been no help. Initially they told me there was nothing they could do because they aren’t the clinical team and the order had already been sent to the pharmacy. As my refill approached, I started reaching out more about a dose increase because I was losing no weight at all (shocking I know since my dose was cut in half). They’d respond to tell me they’d pass along my concerns to the clinical team and I’d hear back. Never would. Finally, they scheduled me an appointment— 2 weeks after my refill would be due.

I fought back and forth with customer service endlessly, never actually hearing from a clinical staff member. I filled out my refill form and indicated I’d like an increase and why. The site said I’d hear back within 24 hours, that was 5 days ago and nothings happened with my refill. Customer service won’t even answer me at this point.

So, are there any actually decent companies out there that provide affordable and effective medications, while having good customer service and access to the clinical team directly?
