Big price increases thread 2

[LifeOfAShowGirl]

Lots of very useful discussions going on on the old thread, so I thought I would continue it!

I’ve just ordered a 5mg and 7.5mg as a new patient with Chemist4u and it was £318 which is a £10 saving over buying both individually (£149 & £179). I’ve logged in again, ran through the consultation, still the same price. Where are you seeing the additional £100?

I went through the consultation process for Chemist4U to see, and they were going to charge £299 for a 12.5mg (previous price had been 189.99). Being charitable i did wonder if it is for new customers only? If they are protecting their existing customers then fair enough.

@Burnserns you’ve just answered my question. So it’s the higher doses. Wonder if they’ve run out hence the price.

Chemist4u used to publish their prices as I used to often price match against them with MedExpress. Having to go through consultation to view prices makes me think they will go up and down? Supply and demand!?

They haven’t even got 15mg on there which makes me think think have run out of it, and greedy with the 10&12.5

IQ doctor have now refunded my order placed on Thursday lunch time. So there’s one 15mg pen there!

I think I've been low in dopamine for years before starting M as I didn't eat meat for 5 years and dopamine is mainly converted from tyrosine from meat and i had all the symptoms of low dopamine. I also had ibs, anaemia for decades and prediabetes for years so all combined probably affected absorption of nutrients. I definitely noticed a positive difference when taking L tyrosine, it was like turning into an energizer bunny, even on low cals. I definitely think M has worsened my low mood, like I say I notice my mood lifting at the end of the week. With anxiety that's more linked to serotonin than dopamine so that could be why M has worked well for you and if you had high levels of dopamine then you won't be affected with low moods etc.

Oh I dont disagree was just sharing my personal experience

I’m chasing the same without success.

I wonder if they refunded due to being out of stock?

Im pretty sure I read she asked for a refund.😀

I ordered a 5mg through Bolt.

When was that? Has it been confirmed?

What I'm not understanding is why are all these pharmacies raising the prices now when the increase doesn't happen until 1st September? The pens they are selling now for inflated prices have been purchased by them at the lower original price right?

Have they confirmed your order?

Some pharmacies have put restrictions in place like 1 pen, some haven’t. They’ve also had supply limited to them so if they run out, the likelihood is they won’t be getting stock until September 1st and these will be the new prices.

To be honest if they don’t have the stock, they shouldn’t be taking orders at the moment. Fine raise the price and mark it as out of stock until then.

As a new patient it’s not yet been confirmed but I have been asked to provide them with a copy of my last prescription so at least it’s been looked at.

Plain old profiteering.

I've had an order approved with pharmacy2u today just in case anyone is waiting, it's for 15mg. Ordered on Thursday evening. I was also asked for further info so I've been in contact with them all day but hadn't received any emails about either about the query or about the order being approved, I've only known because I logged in.

No, I asked them to cancel!

Wow! That’s a good price

Oh I ordered from them Thursday evening too, hopefully I’ll hear something soon then. What mg did you order?

@CloudyYellow i ordered Thursday and approved yesterday for delivery this week.

I’m with SheMed and my order was approved as usual should be delivered tomorrow

I've had a 10mg approved by my usual supplier, Cloud. I'm currently on 15mg but there was no stock of 15 or 12.5. I've only got another 5 or 6 pounds to lose and I'm partway through a 15mg. Not feeling very confident about coming off it but I can't manage the increased prices.
