Hey, I gave you a laugh react. 🤷‍♀️ You're not wrong. Objectively, it's the truth.

What sux is I was doing my usual... posting a knee jerk response before reading the whole thread. It started out with a newbie plugging a vendor and I had spelled out what a ripoff they were and he came back trollish thinking I was a troll and then someone called someone a lying whore bitch then threw her drink and flipped the table!

Oh wait, that's my Real Housewives and GLP forum colliding again... These damn fibers and oligomers!

I reached out to the guy through DM with info nobody would find unhelpful so hopefully he'll see our motives here and make like a Chinese Vendor, rebrand and come back. Or not.

Oh I know who you mean 🙃 I'm surprised he was still able to delete the thread after this long. Maybe Brute Enforcer Emeritus intervened. Unless I'm getting all these new people mixed up. That would make sense, since I'm such a jerkoff.

You gave my response to him a thumbs up fwiw.
The first item at the vendor's website was 10mg T10 for $85. There's a vendor here with a kit at $70. Kind of hard to make the "onesie" for testing argument when said onesie is more than an entire kit.

I wish I read it though... It's been eviscerated... Not even any mouse droppings.

Yes I liked it for that reason. Poor OP was asking about trying single vials of other stuff. Oops.

I'll be nice even if he doesn't rebrand. I feel bad.

Yeah, I was trying a soft response since we're being accused of being condescending Jack-offs... But since you're opening the gate...

I alluded to it with the Golden Corral reference. Some pharmacists have said GLP-1 customers are the absolute worst, worse than addicts being denied sched 2 drugs. They clog their phones, berate associates and confront customers who are having scripts filled after ordering the conventional way. They've had to modify their phone procedures and obscure windowed visi coolers from customer view to prevent customers seeing GLP boxes in the cooler awaiting customer pickup. Some demand substitutions based on inventory in dosage and even brand Mounjaro for Zepbound. Some have multiple scripts and berate the pharmacist or tech to contact their insurance despite a line and a known outcome.

I live nextdoor to my pharmacy where I get everything except Mounjaro. I get that mail order from Centerwell (Humana) because I don't want to add to their stress and I've seen that thanks to PBMs there's no profit for them anyway.

I managed to get all that out w/o saying "Karen"

That is the absolute truth. My pharmacy "normally" has stock on Ozempic or gets it for me in a few days. I established that I take it for A1C early on. The pharmacist put a note in my file ... the techs don't give me a hard time anymore. I used to hate the eyerolls when I would ask for my script at the drive thru.. especially when there were shortages. I would tell them I was taking it for A1C and not weight loss and they would breathe a sigh of relief... the pharmacist told me they absolutely hare dealing with the weight loss crowd as the are insufferable.

This is actually one of the reasons I'm seriously considering subbing in some sema in place of tirz. If anything, my smoke breaks have become more frequent lately, after cutting down to close to a 1/2 pack/day pre-GLP-1.

I'm almost done with my last bottle of salt nic. I've been cutting it with zero nicotine juice and trying to make it last as long as possible. I promised myself when it was done, I wouldn't replace it. (Don't hold me to that.)

You can tag him 🤷🏻‍♂️ @jasonlovespeptides

I felt bad too and turns out he's not the only one mentioning that vendor... Iz juss hypersensitivity to the shills...

When he spends more time here he'll know exactly where we were coming from (good intentions).

U could more easily hone ce up a glp1 drug for a few days than Adderall.

I mean, it sucks that customers are like that, but it is a weight loss drug. You shouldn't have to clarify what you're taking it for just so they won't treat you like people who behave like assholes. And those people shouldn't behave like assholes, but as we all know, assholes gonna asshole.
 
What they really need to do is find a way to sell it that doesn't require refrigeration, AND increase production to keep it out of shortage. I'm thinking like, lyophilized powder in one chamber, bac water in another, pull the tab and they mix right before administering. Obviously someone more creative and science-y than me could come up with something better, but increasing production, and finding a way to make it shelf stable so pharmacies can stock more of it, would go a long way. Especially once semaglutide goes generic and the prices drop.

TBH all a pharmacy employee has to say is "we can order it for you" to get royally told off by some assholes. Most times the pharmacy already knows the diagnosis by the code associated with the script. (Not that it matters, a script is a script)
