Switched from compounded to branded mid-protocol. Provider handled the transition. Insurance billing was painful but worked.

Symptom diary tracking inside the app helped my provider tune dose. Reduced anxiety + improved sleep significantly.

Charged after free trial without clear warning. Cancellation took 3 weeks. Treatment itself was fine.
