Help! Is this normal?

[bmanstrong]

I've been on TRT for 3 years now. 200mg wk. My TRT doctor is really cool and knows his stuff. Here's the thing, he writes me a prescription every six months and I only see him twice a year. He writes his prescriptions to allow me to refill up to 6 times each prescription. That's one refill a month! Naturally, my insurance pays 100 percent but only allows me to refill 2-3 times per prescription. Recently, I lost my insurance and the pharmacy is allowing me to refill once a month again! I'm paying out of pocket now but with discount card I'm getting 10ml vials of Watson test for $85. This will allow me to run cycles of 400mg of test a week or more, all legally, pharmacy grade indefinitely. Is this normal? Anyone else doing this?

Also, my TRT doctor writes me plenty Arimidex and I get generic from compounding pharmacy for less than $1 a 1mg tab. And I get full labs once a year.

So, are other guys doing this too?

Thanks! The woman at the pharmacy recommended goodrx.com and was the best price out of all of them. Incidentally, original price is $125

At times I used coupons from there and got it as low as $41 and $25 ish per 10cc.

I actually was getting hooked up like you are by refilling for a 10cc each month - but somehow someone flagged it knowing it's 10 weeks worth not just a month. So eventually your pharmacy might figure it out too.

Hmm.....if that happens do you think switching pharmacies will help?

Also sometimes doctors are allowed to have 2-4 patients each that the can recommend for a no insurance prescription discount. It is normally for patients who had insurance when they started seeing him but lost it and are likely to get new insurance sooner rather than never. This allows for 100% free scripts with no time limit until the doc say " ok I have other patients who need this, you have had long enough. Just fyi I am on this and have been without insurance for 7 months.

I never heard of this. How do you go about getting this? Do I ask the doctor or pharmacist? Is there a name for it?

I am jealous about your Vials lol stupid ampules in Europe.

I would end up injecting every day SubQ for optimal levels

You prefer SubQ? It is easier, less painful and it does hit you faster but for me it just converted to estrogen that much faster. I prefer the slow release of IM.

Never did SubQ, i get my 250g E10D shot at Doctors Office in my butt, but i believe 60% still lands as SubQ.

If i had a Vial i would shot 0.2ml EOD

From what i read its actually a slower release with SubQ!
