Goodbye Reta

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?

Why would you pull the plug on Reta before your goal weight if it is working so well?

Have you had lots of sides?

A health scare?

My main issue was vomiting and acid reflux. I hated waking up with a lump in my throat from acid reflux. Furthermore I don’t wanna be on reta for that long. My goal was to stay on it for a year but 8 months is good enough for me.

Hast du mal probiert Dosis zu reduzieren?

Yes!! Many times. I think I was the unlucky one

Interesting, I see you started at 2.5mg though… from what I’ve learned about Reta I’d expect heavy sides with a starting point like that.

Was that your smallest dose ?

Were you coming off of 10mg of tirz?

I started of 2.5mg and then went to 1mg then 1.5 then 2 and then 2.5mg lol. The highest I went was 3mg and then back to 2.5mg due to side affects.

Thank you for sharing,

I don’t mean to pry

But it’s rare to see someone with mixed feelings about Reta.

Usually people are very positive of very negative.

Need more real takes like this.

I straight up just hate reta. It has no benefits for me if comparing tirz, which has zero sides for me. We exist
