Telehealth Consumer Turned Researcher
-
Hey guys! Figured I would share my story since it seems like a pretty common one around here. My rat was prescribed tirzepatide for a few months before looking into Telehealth providers and seeing that their prices out of pocket were much better than from a PCP even with insurance coverage. About a couple weeks after receiving their first kit of compounded tirzepatide I began a deep dive on Reddit forums and stumbled across a few posts mentioning lyophilized vials offered at a more affordable price. At this same time I was hearing more about retatrutide.
Initially I purchased from some shady website (terrible, I know) that looked "clean" but also had no reviews or other posts mentioning them on Reddit, and maybe like 10 reviews on Facebook purely mentioning shipping speed. I paid around $540 for a 5 pack of 5mg retatrutide and 1 vial of 30mg tirzepatide. Thankfully, I came across Peptide Critic's video on fake COA's and recognized that the COA from the website I previously purchased from was from a year ago and the vial caps/colors were completely different colors. I was able to return that with a full refund but had to pay for shipping myself. I guess that "tuition fee" wasn't so bad.
After multiple hours of forum lurking and hearing about the "unbanning" of certain peptides as a money grab I'm now waiting on a bulk order from EZP and Nexaph of tirz, reta, and cag that I ordered at 3am. Also purchased sterile vials for transfer and filters. Being an adult with expendable money is dangerous lol. Anyway, I appreciate this community and all of the valuable information here.
Currently tempted to purchase research pens even though I currently split dose and pin my rat only twice a week.. and I get most supplies for free working in healthcare.. Everyone's reviews of convenience are getting me.
Long story short I'm grateful to have found this community and appreciate Randy and everyone else's posts for information
