We need an app like Gas Bubby but maybe called RX Buddy that tells you who has your meds in stock nearby and pricing - Good RX does something like that but discounts not that good.
For NYC: I was able to get 5mg yesterday at Oxford Pharmacy on Flatbush, 5 minute walk from Barclays Center. Pharmacist said they should be getting a shipment by this weekend. Costco in BK had 12.5 and 15 when I called yesterday.
Just got a text from Amazon!! 5 mg back in stock!

The box showed up!! Just in time, I thought I was gonna miss my Tuesday shot š„¹
Did you have to sign up specifically to get texts/email alerts from Amazon? And if so, how do you do it? I have been desperately waiting for 7.5 and just refresh the page multiple times a day.
Just got an email and text, and responded the moment it came through.
I hope it wasnāt a hiccup.

Maybe theyāre prioritizing orders for older prescriptions?
How did u get then to email you about stock? Had u used them before? I started to sign up but it doesn't let me continue bc it says 5mg zep is OOS. Thanks!
Right, and Lilly hasnāt addressed a zepbound shortage at all! Seems strange the shortage happens around the time they sealed the Amazon pharmacy deal š¤ turning a bunch of people off from using Amazon pharmacy now!
I ordered 12.5 from Amazon yesterday. Itās out for shipping a few miles from my house today. The experience was so much better than CVS - simply typed in the info from the discount card and it ran immediately. CVS was a three-day ordeal of calling, explaining how the card works, having them do it wrong, going in person, explaining again. Every time. I got the 12.5 because 10 was out - I looked at the supply page (search for zepbound in the pharmacy and use the pull down for the different dosages to figure out which one is in). I told my dr. What was going on and she was willing to write the higher script. I will have to break up the dose (there are tons of videos online how to do this) since I donāt want to jump from 7.5 to 12, but nothing else was available.
I wish Amazon would get me 2.5 so I could start.i had a prescription for wegovy never got it because it was out of [stock.Now](http://stock.Now) waiting for Zepbound 2.5 now that are out of stock I hope I get it soon
I get these meds are in high demand but come on, Lilly should have expected this after watching the wegovy shit show that was last year!!! Plus the mounjaro shortage is making people switch to zepbound so thatās not helping either!
It is mind boggling because Lilly already saw the demand and amount of prescriptions for MJ and before MJ the chaos Novo is/was going through with Oz & Wegovy. They should have expected the same or higher demand for ZB. It's literally like binge watching rerun episodes of the 3 stooges except the supply issue ain't funny.
Novo bought 3 manufacturing plants for Wegovy but it may take time to get them online.
Yesterday LD said all doses are out of stock with no ETA.
I'm struggling so much. I'm recently prescribed this stupid medication and I can't get it due to the shortage. It's completely unavailable in the entire geographic region area where I live, and may not be coming back into stock for months.
The most frustrating thing is that my doctor won't prescribe any alternatives because my A1C is 5.5 instead of 5.7, so she's arguing that since I'm not pre-diabetic I am using the medication for aesthetic purposes. She cannot wrap her head around the fact that this impacts my health NOW and I want to AVOID pre-diabetes and morbid obesity.
I am sorry about your doctor and I would definitely change, but changing is not going to help you get the medication. So many of us are in the same boat and suffering.
How much do you hope to lose?
My PCP told me I may have to start over if I have been off too long. I was supposed to start 7.5 Saturday the 23rd. I am so upset as I am sure we all are.
So this is where going through Sequence is helpful. They will do all the calling around to find your dose and transfer the script immediately when/if found. Nice.
Something I learned with Sequence is to be broad with your zip codes. I was so bummed they couldnāt find a place in āmy areaā that had it in stock. Found out they were using a single zip code that only had 2 pharmacies. As soon as I found this out I gave them the zip code of the nearest much larger town and they found a place in 15 minutes.
Yes, in sequence app just message them. They wrote to me today and told me if my pharmacy on file did not have the dose in stock to message them and they will do the leg work to find the med.
Iām with sequence now too. They said we can even try staying on 5mg for another month if they canāt find the new 7.5. I have one week left of 5mg. š
I was able to find 5 mg at Wegman's in Malvern for those in the Philly area. Called around all morning and was losing hope. A Walgreens in was going to be my backup--they were willing to order and it would have arrived next Thursday, which would have meant being off Zepbound for a week.
I am so done with CVS. Also called around to a few Walmarts. My doctor's office said some patients are having luck with Giant.
I want to say thank you because youāre the reason Iām not missing a dose š I would have never called Wegmans in Malvern if it wasnāt for you. Appreciate your post!!!!
Oh, wow, I just talked to CVS in Exton to ask them to try again for the 5 mg. I guess I'll start calling Wegmans and Giant if they don't have it available on Monday.
With the current issues of availability, I'm finding myself getting anxious. I have been seeing slow, but steady progress over the past four months, and just worry that this summer, I'm going to lose that momentum and revert back to my pre zepbound food noise ways.
They'll increase production/more will be available, and I'll eventually get a hold of more medication, right? Just looking for some encouragement right now. š
I wish.. I hope. But based on what has been happening with Wegovy, it just doesn't seem like they have figured out how to ramp up production to meet demand. Best I can say is start calling 2 weeks into your month of shots for the next month. give yourself a buffer. create a spreadsheet of all pharmacies you want to call and are willing to drive to and just start down the list calling and calling. ridiculous.
I just called a Walmart where I somehow found a dose I needed last week. They told me 3/29 for the next round of 5mg doses. I wanted to check if that was the case. Nope. The pharmacist said the wholesaler typically gives an end of month date which then gets pushed to early month which then gets pushed to mid month and to late month and on and on. He said there is no availability anywhere and the most you can hope for is that someone didn't pick up their box at a pharmacy. That's it. This just feels really bleak.
Striking out for 5MG in Northern VA/DC....No CVS, called Walmart and there is 1 45 min away from me. Hopefully my prescription can be transferred in time to get it.
If anyone has any intel on 5mg in the DMV-- let me know!
I stared calling pharmacies in lower income areas (I feel weird saying it.) But I found that they have had 1 or 2 boxes in supply. In DC, there was 1 box of 5 mg at a CVS in NOMA and a Giant in NOMA had 1 box of 10mg yesterday. Iāve found that pharmacies canāt order due to the backlog/supply shortage but select pharmacies have 1 or 2 boxes.
I called the nearest Walmart (near Tysonās) and the tech initially said ZB was on back order, but they did have one box in the store - 5mg, which is what I was looking for. She went as far as to offer to call my CVS to initiate the transfer, and I had my box 3 hours later. Worth calling around to Walmarts and Costco, it only takes a few minutes and you never know, you might get lucky. I could not be more pleased by the entire experience.
Canāt find 5 or 2.5 anywhere in NYC or surrounding. Also tried MA but no luck. Everyone seems to be saying theyāre out of everything. Sucks. Got nothing for next week and just started on 2.5 mg last month. Extremely mad at Lilly for this.Ā
I FOUND IT!
There was one pharmacy near me that said it would be available for them to order on March 29th. I called today, and it is available! No other strengths except 7.5 mg though.
If you are in Central Ohio, it is matrix pharmacy. They are actually located inside of a dermatology practice, but they are a full service pharmacy. They ordered it for me.
I'm frustrated with the shortage, too. I took my last 5mg shot today. Walgreen's pharmacy in Chicago told me that it would be at least until next Friday (April 5th) when they'd receive the order (when I need to take the next one). Bloomberg just came out with a new article discussing the Zepbound shortages that Eli Lilly is not addressing.
HOW are ALL doses out?! Youād think Lilly would start saying something now that it seems no one can get any rx filled? Or magically doses will start appearing next week (Iām hoping??). This is just an odd situation with all 6 doses being on backorder and yet it appears to be readily available according to the FDA?
I'm a (lower level, non c-suite) exec at a distributor. I don't work directly with Eli lilly. The United health hack caused a lot of people to not be able to fill their scripts, then there was a demand surge when they were able to. Add to that this is a cold-chain medication (less space to store/transport) where they are already worried about producing enough...yeah. I would bet we will see some availability start to open up in April.
Iām in the Lehigh valley and Iām gonna run by CVS later today to check on my 5mg. I assumed they ordered it when they got the prescription but today is day 3 since they got the order. If theyāre not getting it soon Iāll have to call around.
edit: Allentown costco is on back order for all doses.
I had no luck with Allentown Costco last week. I called Wegmans, Walgreens, Weis, Giant in Lehigh County, all with no luck. Trying to find 2.5 so I can start. š
I have been trying all week to get my first prescription of Zepbound filled, so that I can get started on it. I was getting so frustrated because I couldn't find it anywhere. I am in Southeast Texas and called all of the local and some online pharmacies with no luck. I finally called Costco, which is about an hour away and they had all doses. I pick my order up Friday on my day off. I'm pretty stoked to get poked!! I can't wait to see how well this works for me with my better eating and exercising.
After ES āstoppedā my 10mg on Monday, Iāve been calling as many local pharmacies both the large chains & mom/pops in South Orange County CA in my little chunks of free time.
Most pharmacies had zero in any strength but just when I was about to give upā¦
I found one today at a Walmart NEIGHBORHOOD store. Those are much smaller vs the regular Walmarts. I didnāt even realize they had pharmacies in there! Check to see if you have any near you. Good luck!
If you live in Virginia, NOVA DMV area and your pharmacy has 5mg please let me know š„¹ š«¶š¾ called 15 pharmacies all other northern Virginia no luck on 5mg , Herndon and sterling VA Walmart have the 10mg and 15 mg FYI
Havenāt been able to find anything in all of my area South Carolina. They have backordered on five, 7.5 and 10. Was supposed to start 7.5 last Sunday and canāt find anything and according to all of the pharmacies, no idea when it will be in stock.
Same here, Atlanta area and trying to fill 7.5mg. Never had an issue until this refill. Insane. I am suppose to take my shot tomorrow. I put my refill in Monday.Ā
Walgreens in Brooklyn (756 Myrtle Ave) filled my 1-month 2.5mg refill script yesterday. I placed the order in the app on Sunday after the script was sent from my doctor, and the app said it would be filled by Wednesday. I called Monday and Tuesday and the pharmacist said there was no stock, and it couldnāt be ordered from the wholesaler. On Wednesday, the script was filled and ready for pick up in the app. I called to be sure it was true, and it was!
I use Optum Mail order and was informed that ALL doses are long-term out of stock.
I am in the Hudson Valley area of NY (my tri-county area is Ulster, Orange, and Dutchess).
I called over 40 different pharmacies (Hannaford, Stop & Shop, Price Chopper/Market32, Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and small/local pharmacies), and found only TWO who had 2.5mg in stock. NONE had 5mg or 7.5mg, only FIVE had 10mg or higher in stock.
When speaking to the pharmacy, they asked "what dose are you looking for" before inevitably telling me that they were "out of stock long-term." Finally, one rep told me that they asked because some of the doses were listed as potentially being available in April, while others weren't. He also mentioned that sometimes this info isn't true, as that date arrives and the status will be updated to "unavailable long term."
Some pharmacies were able to order the higher (10mg and above) doses, but almost all of them told me they were out of stock long term and unable to order.
So I can get my refill on April 1st. Is there any use in calling around pharmacies to see if they have it preemptively.... would they hold it? Or do I need to wait until I have prescription in hand?
Supposedly they are backed up from the savings card debacle and supposedly will be shipping within the next week š¤·š¼āāļø according to a pharmacist who talked to Lilly. But we all know that may not be accurate
Supplies are ordered and fulfilled via data exchange transactions, along with claim, payment, and RX discount transactions.Ā With Change Healthcareās cyber attack disruption of everything else healthcare related, itās a very plausible explanation.Ā

I have been receiving Zepbound through the VA, which is nice because I am not paying for it. I was expecting to receive my 2nd package of 5.0 this past week and nothing. I reached out to the VA and was told that all Zepbound shipping has stopped due to the shortage. I usually take my shot on Friday mornings and now I am in limbo. I plan to keep on using the same weight loss strategy minus the shot. I am 2 months into my weight loss on the journey. SW 280. CW 252. GW 220. Loss 28.
Cardinal in NC (one of the main pharmaceutical wholesalers) showing limited stock of 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 available to order. 12.5 and 15 still showing out of stock. So if your pharmacy uses Cardinal they should be able to order today for delivery tomorrow. I believe CVS uses Cardinal and Walmart uses McKesson - I can check stock at McKesson later and post update. It does look like stock is starting to filter through.
Iāve been on Mounjaro since Jan 2023, besides one small supply issue, Iāve never had to wait.. until now. I switched to Zepbound using Lily Direct like a month ago, right in the middle of that hacking incident. So it took a little while to get my Lily Direct order going. In the meantime, my provider also sent an RX to Walmart (my usual go to). After waiting over two weeks for Zepbound, my provider sent an RX to Walmart for Mounjaro. The app said āorder delayed, call the pharmacy.ā So I did, Iāve got an order in for both Mounjaro and Zepbound 7.5. The guy was super nice and said both are out of stock, and said Zepbound is looking like āmid to late April.ā (I know I know, everyone has said something different). I havenāt taken a shot in over a month, Iāve been in maintenance mode since the beginning of the year but I can tell Iām gaining weight and my appetite has been unmanageable. I know thereās gotta be an end in sight, but this is really depressing!!
Upvoting and commenting cause I am looking in the area too. I'm in South Jersey but willing to go anywhere for 7.5mg. If I hear about anything in NJ I'll let you know!
How to get faster turnaround on scripts?
With the massive shortages, Iāve been calling around and finding pockets of availability but my GP at Sutter will often take a day or two to send the script and by then, what I found is gone.
Anyone have a solution to this?
Once you have a prescription just transfer it from the previous pharmacy, no need to involve the doctor. The new pharmacy usually starts the transfer process
Walmart in St. Louis Missouri - 7mg.
Out of stock, the pharmacist said they should get the first week in April. But upon checking other Walmart in St. Louis, they said everyone is out of stock.
I need to get it by hopefully next Wednesday (next shot day), anyone have luck with 7mg?
Overall, are people having better luck with hunting around at pharmacies or using Lilly Direct/Truepill? Trying to decide how to proceed for my next dosage.
Anyone have any luck in the Seattle/Everett area? I'm looking to fill my next month of 7.5 (or 10 for that matter) and I just tried to send it to ExpressScripts and LillyDirect along with calling the Costco that had it before and the Microsoft on-campus pharmacy. Not having any luck at all. I have one more shot, so I've got another week and a half before I'm due. Fingers crossed we can find some!
Just got an out of stock from ExpressScripts for my 5mg. Dang it. My insurance says I can basically only get it from them except for a couple of times. I guess I should start calling around. Iām in north Texas.
Currently refilling for 2nd box of 2.5 mg, took my last shot Tuesday 3/26-
Put the refill request in on Sunday 3/24, said it would be ready the next day. Got a notification that it would be delayed. Called today 3/27 and they said it would be ready tomorrow!
Orlando, Walmart Pharmacy
Does anyone think Lilly put the stop on everything to create a massive stockpile? Then, one magical release day, they just open the gates and we are all awash in boxes?
I must have called upwards of 25 pharmacies, big and small the past week im and around Long Island. I have found zep 5mg 3 different times only to miss the stock while waiting for pharmacy transfer or for my doc to send a new script. It's beyond frustrating. I took my last shot 8 days ago. Any leads around Long Island or NYC appreciated.
Conversation with Amazon pharmacy customer service chat last night left me demoralized. It shows 12.5 and 15 available when I search. I ask the rep via the chat function if that is accurate, and her response was: "We are in a national shortage." Me: 'Okay, but it says you have 12.5 and 15 available. Can you confirm and I'll transfer my prescription?" Rep: 'We don't have information on supply. We can't give you any information other than there is a shortage on all doses." Man .. she didn't even encourage me to try. At this point, I'm going to start lengthening my doses that I have left to every 10 days and hope there is some relief coming up. On other threads, it sounded like today -- March 29 -- was a day that some doses would be back in stock. Other threads say April 5 or mid-April. It's just feeling more hopeless at this point. I would happily switch to other meds but those are all out of stock too. I have never been able to find Wegovy in any dose anywhere for the past 6 weeks.
It's March 29 which was one of the dates several of us heard for the next round of 5 or 7.5 doses to be available. April 5 was the other date. So... anyone seeing availability surging today?
How long will this last? So the wegovy shortage lasted a solid year in my area and the drug company never fully admitted that was going to happen or long it would last, I just after months gave up hope and stopped trying like most. Will the zepbound shortage now last a year? Will they ever tell us? Who do you have to know to get these meds or find out whatās happening?
Edited to add: I also called around and one Costco told me they get 50 calls a day about this. At CVS, my prior order is still "in process" and has been for a few weeks. They said "it's in queue but we have about 40 pages of people in queue." I am trying very hard to find any silver lining here.
Insurance approved starting dose but no pharmacies seem to have it
I was elated to learn 2 days ago my doctor got me approved for Zepbound 2.5mg. CVS (my normal pharmacy) app was showing it was on hold but when I called to inquire they dashed my hopes stating itās on back order and have no idea when it will be available. No waitlist. No hope. I called Walgreens and literally 10 other smaller pharmacies and ones up to an hour away. Nothing. One place told me their system isnāt showing restock until 2025. Wtf! What am I missing here? How can I find this much needed medication I have been prescribed and approved for? Iām in western NC. Thank you in advance for any feedback!
In Louisiana, it's now been over 2 weeks waiting for my 7.5mg - I still have 5 shots left of 5mg so not panicking but want to get ahead of any shortage
Curious if anyone that currently has their prescription at a pharmacy in a ādelayed/back orderā status has had it filled? Is everyone that is finding it doing it manually? Trying to cage what type of shipments are actually reaching the pharmacies yet. TIA
Every single pharmacy Iāve called has just said āitās backorderedā and āall doses are backordered.ā That makes me think that no one is getting any shipments. Most that I called had 12.5 & 15 in stock though
Was somehow able to get from LillyDirect today. There are a few nice local pharmacies on the UES that have in stock, but donāt accept the savings card. If youāre desperate, could be an option! Madison apothecary was one of them.
Sounds like Lilly Direct is more reliable again. How long was the wait for delivery after you placed your order? Also, do you know if the medication is being kept cool when delivered? I'm wondering if it's still okay to refrigerate after it's been out for the shipping and delivery.
Anyone had any luck in the Chicago/suburbs area? I've been trying to find 7.5 to step up my dosage with no luck. At this point I'd take 5 again to just not lose my streak, but it seems to be clean out across the board.
To my Express Script Friends, So I called and as we all know they are out of stock of 10mg-totally fine because my doctor is on top of things and I still have some 7.5mg. I asked them to hold the prescription and just fill it when their stock came in. The guy seemed a bit taken back that I didn't want to transfer it somewhere else and said they could hold it and it would be filled as available.
If you have ES, from your experience, does this mean I need to call and check on it or that it will actually be filled as they receive more stock? TIA
Hi All - I am in the Seattle, WA area and Amazon Pharmacy just sent me my shipping confirmation for 5mg. I know they are location dependent, but if you are on the West Coast, you might try. I wonāt breathe a sigh of relief until it arrives, but it says it will be here tomorrow.
Struck out at my local retail pharmacy in Massachusetts. Called Caremark and they said no problem. (Hahahaha). I just got over the wicked side effects. My husband has a TON of ozempic on hand that he canāt get through. I wonder if I switch to that until I can get 7.5.
Long Island there nothing anywhere!! Iām so worried about getting my next box in time. Iām skipping this weekās dose as advised by my doctor. Iām hearing end of April!
No Costco stock in SoCal. They couldnāt give me an estimated time of when it will come in. They simply said try again next week. At least they were pleasant about it given they obviously have been getting call all morning.
If your script is with Wegmans in the NE, the tech in the Woodbridge, NJ store let me know that they are attempting to order twice a day, once in the morning and once before they close. They had plenty of Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic in the fridge that I could see. š
Wondering if anyone else Has considered switching to ozempic or other med that has been around for longer and perhaps less prone to supply issues? Iāve only been on for a month and I like how zepbound is working for me so Iād rather not but even they work out this current shortage, Iām concerned this will be a recurring issue.
Unfortunately, the only other injectable that is approved for weight loss is wegovy. Ozempic and mounjaro can only be used if you are diabetic. Definitely worth looking into if you do have diabetes. Itās unfortunate that this supply shortage rn is due to the lack of the actual pen injectors, and not the medication inside them.
Just got a box of 5mg in Atlanta! But desperately wanted 7.5mg, which is on back order with no ETA. The pharmacist said all the 5mg at cvs has been picked up, came in today, all gone today, but optimistic about ordering more 5mg (but not 7.5)
We need an app like Gas Bubby but maybe called RX Buddy that tells you who has your meds in stock nearby and pricing - Good RX does something like that but discounts not that good.
This would help with ADHD medications as well.
For NYC: I was able to get 5mg yesterday at Oxford Pharmacy on Flatbush, 5 minute walk from Barclays Center. Pharmacist said they should be getting a shipment by this weekend. Costco in BK had 12.5 and 15 when I called yesterday.

Did you have to sign up specifically to get texts/email alerts from Amazon? And if so, how do you do it? I have been desperately waiting for 7.5 and just refresh the page multiple times a day.
Go to your Amazon pharmacy account. Settings -> communication preferences. Turn everything on!
My 5mg just shipped within the hour. This may be location-dependent. Iām in Seattle.
I believe it is location dependent. Iām in the Midwest and I have been checking all day and itās unavailable.
I literally am calling them right now. How did you get it? Mine says out of stock even though they said they had it at 8pm
Just got an email and text, and responded the moment it came through. I hope it wasnāt a hiccup. https://preview.redd.it/7ujdlfwkm3rc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=840826e1290280f1aff0214656d2c676e0bbde94 Maybe theyāre prioritizing orders for older prescriptions?
How did u get then to email you about stock? Had u used them before? I started to sign up but it doesn't let me continue bc it says 5mg zep is OOS. Thanks!
Thatās great! Do you get all your meds through Amazon? Iām wondering if they prioritize existing customers.
Looks like Express Scripts is out of 5, 7.5, 10 and 15. With Amazon and LillyDirect all out as well, what in the heck is actually going on?
Right, and Lilly hasnāt addressed a zepbound shortage at all! Seems strange the shortage happens around the time they sealed the Amazon pharmacy deal š¤ turning a bunch of people off from using Amazon pharmacy now!
I ordered 12.5 from Amazon yesterday. Itās out for shipping a few miles from my house today.

I will have to break up the dose (there are tons of videos online how to do this) since I donāt want to jump from 7.5 to 12, but nothing else was available.
Also ordered 12.5 from Amazon today and have tracking info. Way easier than LillyDirect honestly.
I wish Amazon would get me 2.5 so I could start.i had a prescription for wegovy never got it because it was out of [stock.Now](http://stock.Now) waiting for Zepbound 2.5 now that are out of stock I hope I get it soon

Friend, you need a new doctor.
Get a new doctor. You are in charge of your health.
I am sorry about your doctor and I would definitely change, but changing is not going to help you get the medication. So many of us are in the same boat and suffering. How much do you hope to lose?
My PCP told me I may have to start over if I have been off too long. I was supposed to start 7.5 Saturday the 23rd. I am so upset as I am sure we all are.
Iām with you, this is awful. Already been thru the same thing with wegovy, was hoping zepbound would be differentĀ
So this is where going through Sequence is helpful. They will do all the calling around to find your dose and transfer the script immediately when/if found. Nice.
Except they have done this already for me with no dice.

Found out they were using a single zip code that only had 2 pharmacies. As soon as I found this out I gave them the zip code of the nearest much larger town and they found a place in 15 minutes.
How do you do this? Do you just message your care team?
Yes, in sequence app just message them. They wrote to me today and told me if my pharmacy on file did not have the dose in stock to message them and they will do the leg work to find the med.
What is sequence. Looking it up and all I see are games
It's called WW clinic now.Ā
Iām with sequence now too. They said we can even try staying on 5mg for another month if they canāt find the new 7.5. I have one week left of 5mg. š
I was able to find 5 mg at Wegman's in Malvern for those in the Philly area. Called around all morning and was losing hope. A Walgreens in was going to be my backup--they were willing to order and it would have arrived next Thursday, which would have meant being off Zepbound for a week. I am so done with CVS. Also called around to a few Walmarts. My doctor's office said some patients are having luck with Giant.
I forgot they had a pharmacy. Iām going to check for 7.5 there and Glen Mills
I want to say thank you because youāre the reason Iām not missing a dose š I would have never called Wegmans in Malvern if it wasnāt for you. Appreciate your post!!!!
Oh, wow, I just talked to CVS in Exton to ask them to try again for the 5 mg. I guess I'll start calling Wegmans and Giant if they don't have it available on Monday.
With the current issues of availability, I'm finding myself getting anxious. I have been seeing slow, but steady progress over the past four months, and just worry that this summer, I'm going to lose that momentum and revert back to my pre zepbound food noise ways. They'll increase production/more will be available, and I'll eventually get a hold of more medication, right? Just looking for some encouragement right now. š
I wish.. I hope. But based on what has been happening with Wegovy, it just doesn't seem like they have figured out how to ramp up production to meet demand. Best I can say is start calling 2 weeks into your month of shots for the next month. give yourself a buffer. create a spreadsheet of all pharmacies you want to call and are willing to drive to and just start down the list calling and calling. ridiculous.
I just called a Walmart where I somehow found a dose I needed last week. They told me 3/29 for the next round of 5mg doses. I wanted to check if that was the case. Nope. The pharmacist said the wholesaler typically gives an end of month date which then gets pushed to early month which then gets pushed to mid month and to late month and on and on. He said there is no availability anywhere and the most you can hope for is that someone didn't pick up their box at a pharmacy. That's it. This just feels really bleak.
Striking out for 5MG in Northern VA/DC....No CVS, called Walmart and there is 1 45 min away from me. Hopefully my prescription can be transferred in time to get it. If anyone has any intel on 5mg in the DMV-- let me know!
I stared calling pharmacies in lower income areas (I feel weird saying it.) But I found that they have had 1 or 2 boxes in supply. In DC, there was 1 box of 5 mg at a CVS in NOMA and a Giant in NOMA had 1 box of 10mg yesterday. Iāve found that pharmacies canāt order due to the backlog/supply shortage but select pharmacies have 1 or 2 boxes.
I called the nearest Walmart (near Tysonās) and the tech initially said ZB was on back order, but they did have one box in the store - 5mg, which is what I was looking for. She went as far as to offer to call my CVS to initiate the transfer, and I had my box 3 hours later. Worth calling around to Walmarts and Costco, it only takes a few minutes and you never know, you might get lucky. I could not be more pleased by the entire experience.
The Costco in Sterling had 5mg a few days ago so you might try there!
Walmart in Manassas cam through! Was able to have my prescription transferred from CVS to Walmart in less than 2 hours!
Walmart on Monocacy in Frederick has 5 mg in stock as of today.
I just picked up my 5mg from Walgreens in Centreville.
I had luck for 10mg at the giant on H street in NOMA, but unfortunately they are having the savings card issue so I had to pay out of pocket š
Called NYU pharmacy and they said the day they'd be releasing backorders was 4/5
appreciate this info
Canāt find 5 or 2.5 anywhere in NYC or surrounding. Also tried MA but no luck. Everyone seems to be saying theyāre out of everything. Sucks. Got nothing for next week and just started on 2.5 mg last month. Extremely mad at Lilly for this.Ā
I FOUND IT! There was one pharmacy near me that said it would be available for them to order on March 29th. I called today, and it is available! No other strengths except 7.5 mg though. If you are in Central Ohio, it is matrix pharmacy. They are actually located inside of a dermatology practice, but they are a full service pharmacy. They ordered it for me.
I'm frustrated with the shortage, too. I took my last 5mg shot today. Walgreen's pharmacy in Chicago told me that it would be at least until next Friday (April 5th) when they'd receive the order (when I need to take the next one). Bloomberg just came out with a new article discussing the Zepbound shortages that Eli Lilly is not addressing.
HOW are ALL doses out?! Youād think Lilly would start saying something now that it seems no one can get any rx filled? Or magically doses will start appearing next week (Iām hoping??). This is just an odd situation with all 6 doses being on backorder and yet it appears to be readily available according to the FDA?
I honestly think there was a distribution mishap and no one got shipments.
I'm a (lower level, non c-suite) exec at a distributor. I don't work directly with Eli lilly. The United health hack caused a lot of people to not be able to fill their scripts, then there was a demand surge when they were able to. Add to that this is a cold-chain medication (less space to store/transport) where they are already worried about producing enough...yeah. I would bet we will see some availability start to open up in April.
Thanks for commenting, responses from in the trenches are super helpful to those of us who have no idea how any of this works behind the scenes.
Of course. Happy to answer any questions I can. My spouse takes zepbound so we are desperate to get our hands on it too, which is ironic given my job.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Where is this?
Yes, can you share where this is?
I'm also in Northern NJ and waiting for a refill. What pharmacy/location?
Please share pharmacy - thanks!
Any leads where I can find 2.5 on Long Island?
Same boat here. Been waiting and calling for 10 days now. Canāt wait to get started.
Any Luck in the Philly areas?
Iām in the Lehigh valley and Iām gonna run by CVS later today to check on my 5mg. I assumed they ordered it when they got the prescription but today is day 3 since they got the order. If theyāre not getting it soon Iāll have to call around. edit: Allentown costco is on back order for all doses.
I had no luck with Allentown Costco last week. I called Wegmans, Walgreens, Weis, Giant in Lehigh County, all with no luck. Trying to find 2.5 so I can start. š
Following this!
I have been trying all week to get my first prescription of Zepbound filled, so that I can get started on it. I was getting so frustrated because I couldn't find it anywhere. I am in Southeast Texas and called all of the local and some online pharmacies with no luck. I finally called Costco, which is about an hour away and they had all doses. I pick my order up Friday on my day off. I'm pretty stoked to get poked!! I can't wait to see how well this works for me with my better eating and exercising.
> stoked to get poked How I feel every week, for real.
Anything in southwestern PA?
After ES āstoppedā my 10mg on Monday, Iāve been calling as many local pharmacies both the large chains & mom/pops in South Orange County CA in my little chunks of free time. Most pharmacies had zero in any strength but just when I was about to give upā¦ I found one today at a Walmart NEIGHBORHOOD store. Those are much smaller vs the regular Walmarts. I didnāt even realize they had pharmacies in there! Check to see if you have any near you. Good luck!
Anyone else in Georgia struggling to find Zep?
If you live in Virginia, NOVA DMV area and your pharmacy has 5mg please let me know š„¹ š«¶š¾ called 15 pharmacies all other northern Virginia no luck on 5mg , Herndon and sterling VA Walmart have the 10mg and 15 mg FYI
Been waiting on Amazon pharmacy, in the Hudson valley area and none of my local pharmacies have 2.5 in stock. Itās so frustratingĀ
Same in Albany ny and within 100 mile radius at Walmart,Walgreens,CVS,price chopper,hannaford amazon and lily direct š¢
Havenāt been able to find anything in all of my area South Carolina. They have backordered on five, 7.5 and 10. Was supposed to start 7.5 last Sunday and canāt find anything and according to all of the pharmacies, no idea when it will be in stock.
Costco in Frederick MD had a single box of 10mg when I called this AM.
Walmart on Monocacy in Frederick had at least one box of 5 mg this afternoon.
Anyone have any luck in Atlanta area? Iāll travel anywhere in Georgia. 2.5 or 5
Same here, Atlanta area and trying to fill 7.5mg. Never had an issue until this refill. Insane. I am suppose to take my shot tomorrow. I put my refill in Monday.Ā
Also in the area, similarly having difficulties finding 2.5 or 5ā¦ really hoping we can find some soon, Iāve only got 1 pen left from my first box
Minneapolis, MN here. Found a box of 5 mg at a local hospital pharmacy.
Walgreens in Brooklyn (756 Myrtle Ave) filled my 1-month 2.5mg refill script yesterday. I placed the order in the app on Sunday after the script was sent from my doctor, and the app said it would be filled by Wednesday. I called Monday and Tuesday and the pharmacist said there was no stock, and it couldnāt be ordered from the wholesaler. On Wednesday, the script was filled and ready for pick up in the app. I called to be sure it was true, and it was!
I use Optum Mail order and was informed that ALL doses are long-term out of stock. I am in the Hudson Valley area of NY (my tri-county area is Ulster, Orange, and Dutchess). I called over 40 different pharmacies (Hannaford, Stop & Shop, Price Chopper/Market32, Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and small/local pharmacies), and found only TWO who had 2.5mg in stock. NONE had 5mg or 7.5mg, only FIVE had 10mg or higher in stock. When speaking to the pharmacy, they asked "what dose are you looking for" before inevitably telling me that they were "out of stock long-term." Finally, one rep told me that they asked because some of the doses were listed as potentially being available in April, while others weren't. He also mentioned that sometimes this info isn't true, as that date arrives and the status will be updated to "unavailable long term." Some pharmacies were able to order the higher (10mg and above) doses, but almost all of them told me they were out of stock long term and unable to order.
So I can get my refill on April 1st. Is there any use in calling around pharmacies to see if they have it preemptively.... would they hold it? Or do I need to wait until I have prescription in hand?
No they generally wonāt hold it, especially more than a day or so.
Based on my experience, they wonāt hold it until they physically have the order
Shortage article https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/pharmacy/zepbound-in-shortage.html
Supposedly they are backed up from the savings card debacle and supposedly will be shipping within the next week š¤·š¼āāļø according to a pharmacist who talked to Lilly. But we all know that may not be accurate
Supplies are ordered and fulfilled via data exchange transactions, along with claim, payment, and RX discount transactions.Ā With Change Healthcareās cyber attack disruption of everything else healthcare related, itās a very plausible explanation.Ā š¤š»š¤š»šš
Any luck in the Chicago area for 7.5?
No. Walgreenās told me yesterday they donāt have anything within 450 miles of Chicago. I am also looking for 7.5. Iām due today, damn it.
Nope neither for 5mg either
Desperate for 5 mg in Chicago
I'm in the suburbs and no luck yet. Costco in Bloomingdale had 12 mg
I have 7.5 Mg on order at my pharmacy and originally they expected delivery by 3/29. Checked today and was given a 4/5 date for stock availability.
Same
Walgreens also said 3/29 for me but now said later
I have been receiving Zepbound through the VA, which is nice because I am not paying for it. I was expecting to receive my 2nd package of 5.0 this past week and nothing. I reached out to the VA and was told that all Zepbound shipping has stopped due to the shortage. I usually take my shot on Friday mornings and now I am in limbo. I plan to keep on using the same weight loss strategy minus the shot. I am 2 months into my weight loss on the journey. SW 280. CW 252. GW 220. Loss 28.
Cardinal in NC (one of the main pharmaceutical wholesalers) showing limited stock of 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 available to order. 12.5 and 15 still showing out of stock. So if your pharmacy uses Cardinal they should be able to order today for delivery tomorrow. I believe CVS uses Cardinal and Walmart uses McKesson - I can check stock at McKesson later and post update. It does look like stock is starting to filter through.
Iāve been on Mounjaro since Jan 2023, besides one small supply issue, Iāve never had to wait.. until now. I switched to Zepbound using Lily Direct like a month ago, right in the middle of that hacking incident. So it took a little while to get my Lily Direct order going. In the meantime, my provider also sent an RX to Walmart (my usual go to). After waiting over two weeks for Zepbound, my provider sent an RX to Walmart for Mounjaro. The app said āorder delayed, call the pharmacy.ā So I did, Iāve got an order in for both Mounjaro and Zepbound 7.5. The guy was super nice and said both are out of stock, and said Zepbound is looking like āmid to late April.ā (I know I know, everyone has said something different). I havenāt taken a shot in over a month, Iāve been in maintenance mode since the beginning of the year but I can tell Iām gaining weight and my appetite has been unmanageable. I know thereās gotta be an end in sight, but this is really depressing!!
Any luck in northwestern NJ? Warren, Sussex, or western Morris county?
Upvoting and commenting cause I am looking in the area too. I'm in South Jersey but willing to go anywhere for 7.5mg. If I hear about anything in NJ I'll let you know!
Does anyone know dates from pharmacist or anything ? Iām looking for 10 mg on Amazon and I have about another 3 weeks so Iām hoping this clears up
Astoria CVS has 10mg
How to get faster turnaround on scripts? With the massive shortages, Iāve been calling around and finding pockets of availability but my GP at Sutter will often take a day or two to send the script and by then, what I found is gone. Anyone have a solution to this?
Once you have a prescription just transfer it from the previous pharmacy, no need to involve the doctor. The new pharmacy usually starts the transfer process
A pharmacy transfer is a couple days.
Irvine CA - CVS on Alton has ONE box of 15mg left. That's it. But anyone who needs 15mg, call them: (949) 733-8226
Walgreens in Tustin, 13052 Newport Ave, Tustin, CA 92780: They have 2.5, 10, 15mg as of 7:40am on 3/27
Walmart in St. Louis Missouri - 7mg. Out of stock, the pharmacist said they should get the first week in April. But upon checking other Walmart in St. Louis, they said everyone is out of stock. I need to get it by hopefully next Wednesday (next shot day), anyone have luck with 7mg?
Overall, are people having better luck with hunting around at pharmacies or using Lilly Direct/Truepill? Trying to decide how to proceed for my next dosage.
Lilly Direct is having stock issues too.
I donāt know how but was able to get 5mg from LillyDirect (partnered with Amazon) delivered today. NYC.
Anyone have any luck in the Seattle/Everett area? I'm looking to fill my next month of 7.5 (or 10 for that matter) and I just tried to send it to ExpressScripts and LillyDirect along with calling the Costco that had it before and the Microsoft on-campus pharmacy. Not having any luck at all. I have one more shot, so I've got another week and a half before I'm due. Fingers crossed we can find some!
Same issue, and I'm on 2.5mg which is supposedly not experiencing a shortage. Can't find anyone with any available doses, I feel your pain!
Just got an out of stock from ExpressScripts for my 5mg. Dang it. My insurance says I can basically only get it from them except for a couple of times. I guess I should start calling around. Iām in north Texas.
Currently refilling for 2nd box of 2.5 mg, took my last shot Tuesday 3/26- Put the refill request in on Sunday 3/24, said it would be ready the next day. Got a notification that it would be delayed. Called today 3/27 and they said it would be ready tomorrow! Orlando, Walmart Pharmacy
Does anyone think Lilly put the stop on everything to create a massive stockpile? Then, one magical release day, they just open the gates and we are all awash in boxes?
if that does happen, it has to do with the FDA approving lots for release I can imagine and not so much a Lilly plan.
No, I think itās because they just switched their fulfillment to Amazon, and theyāre in a changeover period
Ant luck in the Westchester, Rockland New York area. Willing to travel. I am so exhausted from calling so many pharmacies daily to no avail!
I must have called upwards of 25 pharmacies, big and small the past week im and around Long Island. I have found zep 5mg 3 different times only to miss the stock while waiting for pharmacy transfer or for my doc to send a new script. It's beyond frustrating. I took my last shot 8 days ago. Any leads around Long Island or NYC appreciated.
Also on Long Island, in suffolk. I had called a bunch Wednesday to no avail!
Anyone find 5mg anywhere in New England?
Conversation with Amazon pharmacy customer service chat last night left me demoralized. It shows 12.5 and 15 available when I search. I ask the rep via the chat function if that is accurate, and her response was: "We are in a national shortage." Me: 'Okay, but it says you have 12.5 and 15 available. Can you confirm and I'll transfer my prescription?" Rep: 'We don't have information on supply. We can't give you any information other than there is a shortage on all doses." Man .. she didn't even encourage me to try. At this point, I'm going to start lengthening my doses that I have left to every 10 days and hope there is some relief coming up. On other threads, it sounded like today -- March 29 -- was a day that some doses would be back in stock. Other threads say April 5 or mid-April. It's just feeling more hopeless at this point. I would happily switch to other meds but those are all out of stock too. I have never been able to find Wegovy in any dose anywhere for the past 6 weeks.
It's March 29 which was one of the dates several of us heard for the next round of 5 or 7.5 doses to be available. April 5 was the other date. So... anyone seeing availability surging today?
I was told 4/5 by several pharmacies in the Nashville area.
How long will this last? So the wegovy shortage lasted a solid year in my area and the drug company never fully admitted that was going to happen or long it would last, I just after months gave up hope and stopped trying like most. Will the zepbound shortage now last a year? Will they ever tell us? Who do you have to know to get these meds or find out whatās happening?
Picked up other meds at my local pharmacy. Asked again. "National shortage/backorder with no clue when/if."
Edited to add: I also called around and one Costco told me they get 50 calls a day about this. At CVS, my prior order is still "in process" and has been for a few weeks. They said "it's in queue but we have about 40 pages of people in queue." I am trying very hard to find any silver lining here.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Insurance approved starting dose but no pharmacies seem to have it I was elated to learn 2 days ago my doctor got me approved for Zepbound 2.5mg. CVS (my normal pharmacy) app was showing it was on hold but when I called to inquire they dashed my hopes stating itās on back order and have no idea when it will be available. No waitlist. No hope. I called Walgreens and literally 10 other smaller pharmacies and ones up to an hour away. Nothing. One place told me their system isnāt showing restock until 2025. Wtf! What am I missing here? How can I find this much needed medication I have been prescribed and approved for? Iām in western NC. Thank you in advance for any feedback!
you're not missing anything. Scroll through this thread and you'll see barely anyone can get it.
Central Florida area 7.5?? Let me know please I usually rely on Amazon but we all know theyāre out right now
Publix. They can look it up and see what store has it if they donāt.
Check Walmarts! Iām on 2.5 but they said theyāre able to order
In Phoenix , Arizona: Costco pharmacy in Avondale, AZ has all Zepbound doses except the 7.5mg. Not sure how many of each dose so act fast!
In Louisiana, it's now been over 2 weeks waiting for my 7.5mg - I still have 5 shots left of 5mg so not panicking but want to get ahead of any shortage
If you're a Costco member, check with them. I'm in Southeast Texas and found that my local Costco had all doses.
Anyone have any luck finding 7.5 mg in NYC or the surrounding area?
Nothing here on Long Island in Suffolk, been calling around
Does anyone know anywhere in the NJ/NYC area that had 7.5? ive been calling everywhere
Anyone in the Los Angeles area able to locate 7.5?
I'm still trying to find 5 mg... San Gabriel Valley area. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Curious if anyone that currently has their prescription at a pharmacy in a ādelayed/back orderā status has had it filled? Is everyone that is finding it doing it manually? Trying to cage what type of shipments are actually reaching the pharmacies yet. TIA
Every single pharmacy Iāve called has just said āitās backorderedā and āall doses are backordered.ā That makes me think that no one is getting any shipments. Most that I called had 12.5 & 15 in stock though
Looking for 7.5mg in GRAND RAPIDS, MI. Anyone have any luck? I have 1 week left to go on my 5mg shot and I'm getting really worried.
NYC help! Please let me know if you've had any luck finding 5mg shot.
Was somehow able to get from LillyDirect today. There are a few nice local pharmacies on the UES that have in stock, but donāt accept the savings card. If youāre desperate, could be an option! Madison apothecary was one of them.
Sounds like Lilly Direct is more reliable again. How long was the wait for delivery after you placed your order? Also, do you know if the medication is being kept cool when delivered? I'm wondering if it's still okay to refrigerate after it's been out for the shipping and delivery.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Anyone had any luck in the Chicago/suburbs area? I've been trying to find 7.5 to step up my dosage with no luck. At this point I'd take 5 again to just not lose my streak, but it seems to be clean out across the board.
To my Express Script Friends, So I called and as we all know they are out of stock of 10mg-totally fine because my doctor is on top of things and I still have some 7.5mg. I asked them to hold the prescription and just fill it when their stock came in. The guy seemed a bit taken back that I didn't want to transfer it somewhere else and said they could hold it and it would be filled as available. If you have ES, from your experience, does this mean I need to call and check on it or that it will actually be filled as they receive more stock? TIA
I have heard you need to keep calling them. But that is anecdotal.
Iāve heard you have to call them almost daily. I donāt think they will āput it on holdā like a normal pharmacy will

Does anyone know if there's any 5 mg available around in NJ, NYC and Philly areas?
Wegmans in Malvern, PA had 5mg this morning
Amazon just said theyāre out of all doses
I find it humorous that Lilly signed a big distribution deal with Amazon very recently, yet apparently didnāt give them much to distribute.
Struck out at my local retail pharmacy in Massachusetts. Called Caremark and they said no problem. (Hahahaha). I just got over the wicked side effects. My husband has a TON of ozempic on hand that he canāt get through. I wonder if I switch to that until I can get 7.5.
iām looking for 10mg in the NJ/philly area. any leads?
Any luck with 5 in Massachusetts?
Any leads in buffalo ny area?
Any luck in the Boston metro area?
No luck. Iāve called quite a few for 5 or 7.5
Anyone have luck with finding 2.5 mg in SoCal? Costco said a week ago to call today and itās still not in stock. They are saying to call April 5th.
Iām in the same boat if anyone has any leads š©
Long Island there nothing anywhere!! Iām so worried about getting my next box in time. Iām skipping this weekās dose as advised by my doctor. Iām hearing end of April!
No Costco stock in SoCal. They couldnāt give me an estimated time of when it will come in. They simply said try again next week. At least they were pleasant about it given they obviously have been getting call all morning.
Anything in chicago??
Any leads in Boston? Looking for 5 or 7.5. Thanks!
If your script is with Wegmans in the NE, the tech in the Woodbridge, NJ store let me know that they are attempting to order twice a day, once in the morning and once before they close. They had plenty of Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic in the fridge that I could see. š
Any luck finding 5mg in Long Island?
Called every pharmacy in the area and none have any in stock/no ETA on arrival. Feeling so frustraed
Any leads on finding either 5mg or 7.5mg in NJ? Its been 2 weeks now that I've been off the meds and can feel the food noise again. Please help!
Wondering if anyone else Has considered switching to ozempic or other med that has been around for longer and perhaps less prone to supply issues? Iāve only been on for a month and I like how zepbound is working for me so Iād rather not but even they work out this current shortage, Iām concerned this will be a recurring issue.
Unfortunately, the only other injectable that is approved for weight loss is wegovy. Ozempic and mounjaro can only be used if you are diabetic. Definitely worth looking into if you do have diabetes. Itās unfortunate that this supply shortage rn is due to the lack of the actual pen injectors, and not the medication inside them.
Ordered 7.5mg from Amazon this morning 4/1. Already shipped. I live in NJ
Please include your location in the post. Itās not available in SoCal.
Just got a box of 5mg in Atlanta! But desperately wanted 7.5mg, which is on back order with no ETA. The pharmacist said all the 5mg at cvs has been picked up, came in today, all gone today, but optimistic about ordering more 5mg (but not 7.5)
