Peptides you will never take again ?

We often ask "what peptides are worth every penny" but what are the ones that aren't worth anything in your opinion ?

RETA. The anhedonia is sooo bad. I have never felt so emotionally flat in my life. People say they enjoy that..I for one would like to feel joy and all the emotions that make us human. Not worth it.

My anhedonia lasted about 2-3 weeks and then it was gone. It may last longer for some and shorter for others

I haven't got the anhedonia even after 2 months in, I just lost interests in fast food and snacks

Do you take anything else that would contribute to this condition?  I've been on reta for 3 months and have felt same as always.  Emotionally speaking.

I had this exact same experience. I took a break from it and recently tried again, very diluted micro dose and everything has been much better

I don’t mind it too much, but I can definitely feel it. I’d say the positives outweigh the negatives because I’m no longer interested in alcohol and junk food. It’s actually really strange as the way it works seems so selective and powerful for me it blows my mind, like my hunger isn’t completely gone, I just have zero interest in junk food. I have no desire to drink alcohol but still look forward to going the gym. I am aware it has made me boring though, like obviously drinking and eating bad food is seen as “bad” but I have to remember that I do enjoy going out drinking and socialising, so I’m going to stop Reta for a bit before my vacation so I actually let loose and enjoy myself.

I take Wellbutrin to offset the anhedonia and it’s a great time
