I’ve been on it since January. Always use Walmart. First few months the evoucher kicked in and kept the price at $25. Then that ran out and I had the savings card kick in and I was paying $114. Well now my PA was just renewed as of today and Walmart is trying to charge me $160. I did increase from 7.5 to 10. Has anyone else experienced this increase? I’m just wondering if it has something to do with the formulary change?

I missed the July virtual information session. Does anyone know if there will be another one for current 1102s? I think it’s time for a change so want to learn more about GSA.

Has anyone had trouble with getting their PA renewed?

I’m on my 3rd PA renewal and it’s not going through like the others. Insurance is giving me the run around and so is my doctor. I thought my doctor filled in the wrong info on the renewal so they said they would appeal. However, the appeal takes 15 business days. Also I still don’t know how they filled the form out. I’ve already been a week without my meds. 15 more days will mean starting over from the beginning. I’ve been on it for a year and a half and I know the insurance still covers it.

Started in March. Currently at max dose. Started at 233 currently at 206. No issues except nausea (and throwing up 2x) started on 2nd dose of 1.7 but doing okay on 2.4.

Had lab work before starting. Only issue was slightly high cholesterol. Everything else was good. Had labs again a few weeks ago to check on things. Extremely high liver enzymes but cholesterol was okay. Dr. Made me do blood work again two weeks later. Still high. So I was sent for an ultrasound today and should have results next week.

In the meantime, doc called me today and told me to stop. I appreciate the caution cause I’ve never had high liver enzymes before and don’t want it to turn into anything serious, but still

For those of you who specifically asked to be put on this med, instead of your doctor suggesting it. Did you ask your PCP, gyno, endocrinologist, or weight loss specialist? Or did you use an online provider, if so, which one?

I’m planning to ask my PCP during my physical after the new year, but no idea if they’ll support me with this. If not, I want to come up with a plan B to be able to get a prescription.
