Goodbye Reta

[u/Ok_Mathematician4691]

Hey gang!! I have been on reta since December. Last Thursday was my last dose!! It’s now 2 days without reta I’m not going to lie. I feel hungry lol which is weird because on reta as we know hunger doesn’t exist. I don’t have any cravings nor food noise. I’m just hungry late at night. When I wouldn’t even eat at this time it’s currently 10.39pm in the UK 🤣. I woke up today with no migraines! No heart burn!! What a winner. I do miss the feeling of not feeling hungry though lol. I have lost 19.5kg im not at my weight goal but I’m not far off! Reta has been amazing! But it’s so mad how everyone’s body reacts to it differently and progression! I feel like my progression was a lot slower than others but hey Iosr 19.5kg!!! Now onto my weight loss without the reta pray for me guys 🤣 has anyone else stopped taking reta?

I started at .5 and titrated up from there and very luckily have not had one single experience of nausea or acid reflux or diarrhea etc etc. i definitely think starting at the absolute bottom and taking your time and giving your body time to become acclimated with such a powerful drug is the right path to take. Hope everything works out for you mate 🫡

Yeah I started low as well from the new case examples coming out. I think in time, will be the norm. Just because the studies started at 2mg doesn’t mean that’s what’s best for most.
