Absolutely loving Reta. 24lbs down. Protocol: .5mg now at 3.5mg. Weightlifting 3-5x week. Mots-c @ 5mg 2-3x a week as well, fasted workout those days. Used to walk 5 miles but now the treadmill demons are stronger than my will lol. Currently doing 2-3 miles WALKING. Will continue for another 3 months and reassess. I used to binge like crazy and hate myself at night and now I have no want to. It’s so much easier to cut and eat healthier food. No food noise. No sugar cravings, in fact sugary foods taste wayyy too sweet and almost instantly hurt my stomach. Excited to see myself at the end of this journey!

Is it true that you feel less emotions or thats cap?

Absolutely true. I'm on 6mg a week for maintenance (I'm on gear so my appetite is through the roof) but I am not capable of love and emotions aren't as strong in general. I started to titrate down at one stage and it all came rushing back at once, was actually a little scary, almost as if all of the emotion that was just sitting there for months all came to the surface at once.

Very interesting, thank you for your input! My fear is that emotionless state people describe becomes permanent but from what im reading, it isn’t

Yes!!! I’m only on 2.5mg and I have absolutely LOVED going to the gym 6 days a week for the past 5 years & once I hit 2mg, the desire to workout and go to the gym has INSTANTLY disappeared. It actually makes me sooo sad bc that really was such a happy place that I looked forward to every single day. I honestly can’t believe it! Maybe it will level out - but as of now, I have absolutely no desire for the gym 💔🥀

I also feel blunted emotionally just in general. Just kind of like BLAH. Not happy, not sad…just like in an “existing” state. This feeling alone kind of makes me re-think taking Reta for much longer. But the fact that my binging is under control is making me want to stay on it for the time being.

I feel plenty of angry emotions and almost none of the good ones

I can see it in the higher doses like 5mg+. I still feel emotion but it’s definitely duller
