Poor communication
I spent over $1,000 on tirzepatide through Fridays over the course of many months, starting at the lowest dose and eventually reaching 11 mg. Unfortunately, I never lost any weight despite following the program. What disappointed me most was the lack of medical oversight. Each time it was time for a refill, I completed the required questionnaire with my weight, any side effects, and updates, but my prescription was simply renewed and shipped. I never had a meaningful follow-up appointment with a provider to discuss why the medication wasn’t working or whether my treatment plan should be adjusted. After taking a short break because I had leftover medication, I requested my next refill. Even though I had previously been on 11 mg, Fridays automatically reduced me back to 8 mg and shipped it without discussing it with me first. When I requested to speak with a provider, I was told this was simply company policy if you’ve been off the medication for a couple of weeks. I understand that clinics need safety policies, but after months of no results, I expected individualized medical care instead of automatic refills and policy-based decisions. I feel like my lack of progress was never properly addressed, and I left the program feeling frustrated after spending a significant amount of money with no benefit. I would definitely not recommend based on the lack of care I received and results I had.
