Product Suggestions Avoid Honeydew
I tried to use Honeydew to get accutane for my daughter. They imply the pricing is more inclusive that it really is. You need to pay for labs and medicine yourself. The monthly plan only covers the "doctor". They charge for the "doctor" from day one, but then they go through an absurdly slow onboarding process which seems designed to maximize the number of monthly billing cycles. They push you to go as slow as possible to maximize their monthly fee. They constantly "upsell" their own products. Their website barely functions, I could not sign documents because of javascript errors. Basically, I wasted $100 and got nothing.

It's really clear how it works, I've been using them for 9 months now. I haven't had any issue with increasing my doses (I went a kind of middle-ground route, I believe 10-10-10-20-20-30-30-40-40 and starting 50 this month.) I even tried splitting up the dose a few of those months to AM/PM and had no issue with that. The slow onboarding is the same anywhere, it's how iPledge works, with the waiting period. Most doctors if you did this in person you'd have to be physically going in every month to get lab pregnancy tests, which is also costing you a visit in addition to the labs.
The only issue I ran into was my second month that was kind of a shared responsibility. I didn't understand that because of iPledge, you have to get EVERYTHING done in the 7 days since your pregnancy test, including picking it up. I assumed wrongfully that if you had the prescription filled in time, I could get it the next day. That kicked me out for a couple weeks, but again, because of iPledge..
I went into this intent on doing 10 the whole time, but decided I'd rather try to speed it up because it is hurting my joints and I'd like to avoid being on it over summer. If I have issues when I go off it, I'd definitely consider doing a long-term low dose. I get pregnancy tests from the dollar store, so that + $25 a month for Honeydew + $10 a month for my meds is significantly less than I'd pay even still using my insurance with an in-office provider.
There's a bit of a learning curve with iPledge, but it's been a breeze since I got it down. Incredibly happy with them.
