I didn't tell mine. If I did, she would know she didn't give me a rx for it. She would know that I'm willing to do risky things and be more carefull what she prescribes later. Like pain meds or benzos. She might think I will abuse them?

I personally believe grey peps are safer than morbid obesity.

I tell her, because if i have a pb, i would like to be well diagnose. She already gave me a rx for if, but my assurance doesn't cover It cause even if i'm un morbid obesity, i don't have diabete, or other pb except sleep apnea that Is not covered for in Canada. So She understand even if She disagree.
 
Yeah with the caveat that I had been prescribed Mounjaro and Ozempic in the past but got priced out. But I also tell her all the other drugs I do take. It's important for them to know that type of thing.
 
I originally got with my doc to get me on enclo, haven’t told him about anything grey. He made a comment about my weight loss but I haven’t told him how it was done other than calorie tracking a consistent gym routine (which I am doing) I’m not sure how to go about it. I get bloods checked every 4 months regardless. I’m only on Reta but have been looking into adding more to my stack protocol
 
I only take Tirz and my doctor does know. He asked where I got it and I said “online.” He didn’t ask any further questions but did try to help me get it through insurance, which was denied twice so. 🤷‍♀️
 
Yeah. My MD and me are friends. He's on tirz too. I got a script and a month of Mounjaro when I started. What he won't and can't discuss is reta. obviously because it's not released/fda approved. Bless him. He seems so far behind the times. But he has hundreds of old fuckers, like me to deal with. I wouldn't have his job.
 
Im going to the doctor on Wednesday. He was trying to get me on Mounjaro but my insurance wouldnt cover it and I wasn't about to pay all that money for it. Im actually kind of looking forward to telling him im on reta to see his reaction lol I did lose almost 60 pounds since I was last there so that is good.
 
I discussed compounded product with mine after my insurance discontinued coverage. As an adoptee, I am consistently treated as a high risk patient I tend to keep my PCP informed.
 
The last time I had my annual physical, I used the patient portal to update my Rx's.

Under the med section it offered the choice of check boxes for brand name Zepbound or generic tirzepatide with standard doses.
I checked a box for Zepbound at a standard dose.

Never have had any questions, but last time the nurse referred to it as tirzepatide, just checking I am still on it.

All in their ordinary day's work, no issues or concerns. Never any reason to bring up grey.

Yeah, I am pretty open with my doctors, so I will tell her I am still on Triz, but no good would come from talking about grey...
