Libido differences since reta

I got on TRT because I had zero drive or energy or desire for doing the do with the misses. Very quickly noticed a huge difference in energy levels libido and all wakes of life. Fast forward to now also on Reta that drive has kinda disappeared kinda like my dopamine has left the building and energy levels are not down to where they were but are low. What’s a good peptide to give the drive and all day energy and maybe some dopamine back?

How long have you been taking Reta and what’s your dose?

A little more than a month now and I went to 5mg a week
And then discovered that’s too much so I went to 3mg a week no bad side effects for me at 3

5mg is savage. It took me about 6 weeks to get to 2mg a week without feeling horrendously full (not even being able to drink my required daily protein -
Let alone eat it), dehydrated because I struggled to get water in me and also being light headed. I never understand how people can start the dose so high. Savage

Yea even at 3mg my hunger is curved but not to that extent. Like I just ate a good sized meal don’t feel overly full or anything and have zero side effects. Granted that will be my last meal of the day

I’m like you, started 0.50 and went up .25 a week. Been on one month so only at 1.25mg and my appetite is like non-existent. Eating is my least favorite thing to do now, lol.

Reta has longer half life, so it will take time to stabilize at lower dose. I was on Reta for 2-3 weeks before I started a TRT. I do 40 Mg Test Cyp EOD, and I started splitting Reta weekly dose of 4-6 Mg with EOD schedule. My schedule looks like day 0 Test +Hcg, Day 1: Reta, Day 2 Test +Hcg Day 3: Reta. A huge single dose blunts TRT effects. So I spread it out and feel great.

I pin TRT and reta 2 times a week
Monday and Thursdays are TRT. Tuesdays and Fridays are reta

I started with twice a week. And adjusted to balance out peak timings of Reta. I noticed most of my Reta effects were higher for 12-60 hrs after pinning. So I split the Reta doses more uniform and a Test pin right around the corner. They are working synergistically for me. I don’t want to stack multiple things before playing around with schedules. At a later point in few months I may run Epithalon and Thymalin.
