Hey everyone. I have been on tirzepatide for about 6 months now and wanted to get the community's take on something.

Cheapest place to get sema right now? Price keeps going up

I have been reading through old threads but have not found exactly what I'm looking for. My situation: I have been wondering about cheapest place to get sema right and I am not sure what to make of it.

Has anyone else dealt with this? What was your experience? My PCP was not super helpful — just said to "monitor it" which is not exactly actionable advice lol.

Any input appreciated. Thanks in advance. 🙏

Gonna push back on this one. Cheapest place to get sema right is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 12 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.

Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But cost accessibility is a real barrier. We should be honest about that.

I respect RunnerRach perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: Cheapest place to get sema — the effect size varies considerably by population.

I am not saying RunnerRach wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.
