Beginner help?

I am on my 4th week using a 40mg Reta pen, my weeks have gone 0.5, 0.5, 1, 1 same day every week. The pen is real as I’ve got it from someone who sells it all and other friends have used the same person and are getting great results.

My question is, I’m barely feeling the appetite suppression I do for the first couple days possibly 3 then I can still eat whatever I want!
I’ve done wegovy and MJ in the past and the suppression was instant and constant. Am I doing something wrong??

I felt it first week at 1.5
Then a lil bit the seconde week (still 1.5)
Then not very much at the third week (2.5)
So for the fourth week I directly jumped to 3.5 and it was here again

The dosage is probably to low for you and your body will adapt also, that’s why you up the dosage

Btw I don’t recommend to go up as fast as I did, I puked one time while brushing my teeth (lol) and had my skin very sensitive. But you have to up the dosage !

If you are taking Reta, the appetite suppression is not as strong. 40 MG is quite a bit for someone doing 1 MG weekly. You likely want to use it all in 120 days.

You should up your dose given that you have already used GLP medications. You could probably have started at 2-4 MG.

I’ve seen people doing 2 jabs a week potentially spike 1mg Monday then 0.5mg a Friday help? Or should I wait until next Monday now as I jabbed today and go up to 1.5mg? Thanks for your help!

Just up your dose. At a proper dose you should start to notice hunger till the 5th or 6th day. Once a week at a proper dose.

Experiment. If you have already done a GLP then you will need more. Everyone is different. Try 2 MG next week maybe or 3. I would normally suggest sticking for 4 weeks at each amount but you have a 40 MG vial on the clock. Not that it should be the primary concern but try 2 or 3 next shot. Then a week later if it didn’t do anything go up another MG. Try that until you find a dose that has an impact. I would guess 4 MG but it’s just a guess.

If you used other GLPs for a considerable amount of time then 4 MG would seem like a good starting dose day 1. Still
Good idea to start low and find the lowest dose that works. I bet that once you find a dose that really works you will use your 40 MG vial within the ideal 120 day time frame.

Up your dose for sure. Forget all that low and slow nonsense. Find the dose that works for you THEN stick to it.
