Which one, for whom
If total cost at a maintenance dose matters most: Eden, at $1,548 for twelve months at 10 mg.
If you want to check the pharmacy yourself: neither names a dispensing pharmacy on the pages we read, so ask both before paying.
If you may stop in the first months: stay month to month until you know how you tolerate the dose; compounded medication that has shipped is generally not refundable.
Moving from one to the other
Switching usually means a new intake and a new prescription, because a prescription written through one program’s clinicians does not transfer to another’s pharmacy. Two costs are easy to miss: a gap of a week or more while the new intake is reviewed, and a new prescriber who restarts you at a lower dose. Ask in writing whether your current dose will be continued before you cancel, and check each program’s notice period so you are not billed for a cycle you will not use.
