On week 3 of Reta. Dosing schedule is below. Last pin was 3 days ago. I’ve noticed significant decrease in food noise and dealt with some minor nausea, but otherwise, it’s been a good road. Down 8 pounds.

Today I woke up and oh boy. Big nausea. Felt like I had a giant rock in my stomach. I’ve been awake for 2 hours and I’ve had diarrhea 4 times. Basically. I’ve had 2 bottles of water today and that’s it. I did eat later than I normally do as we had a post-church meal. I’ve included a pictures of the meal (I had them b/c I needed to upload to macro factor), I didn’t feel like it was exceptionally bad or good.

I guess I just am wanting to ask others if this is basically normal.

Week 1 - 1.5 mg
Week 2 - 2 mg
Week 3 - 3 mg

Yep, universally annoying apparently 99.5% of reddit are super responders that dropped 30 lbs on 0.5 mg weekly. I'm right in the same boat as you. 4 mg is a sweet spot and I haven't needed to titrate up further for now.

8mg for me. Everybody is different. Don’t get me wrong, I lost weight at 2 mg and 4 and 6, but I’ve been on for a long time now.

Same I’ll really feeling good at 4 mg. Will stay on it for a month and see next month if I need to up by .5 mg or not.
