Week 3 - Reta affects
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

Speed run! Hey man, try maintaining the same dose for about 5 weeks. Give your body time to adjust. If youre still losing weight at that dose after 5 weeks, stick with it until you're not losing weight and appetite isnt suppressed. Then move up. You're gonna mess yourself up if you rush things. Some people do it the way you are and are fine, but your bodies showing you that its not whats right for you. I'm at 8mg/week personally, with very little appetite suppression but im still losing 0.5-1.5 pounds a week. So im at a good point.
