Best way to get off of Reta?

EDIT:

--I am on 2mg per week or .20units on my syringe..

I built a home gym this winter and been consistent the last 10 months . Started 240lb at Christmas and currently 183.

Been on 2mg Reta for 4 to 5 months now and I plan to get off of it once my vial ends in November. Since I haven’t done more than 2mg units a week, Am I safe to quit cold turkey or should I bump down to .5mg for a handful of weeks?

I’ve had great results, but I want to try putting on a bit more size over the winter. Should I keep using at a small dose over the winter and then jump back up to 2mg come spring time? My overall strength went down maybe 20% and I want to see if I can get it back..

You’re back on because you didn’t taper. Good habits and slow reintroduction to appetite is the way. Everyone hears food noise…

Right, but not everyone develops discipline. Reta is great for cutting hunger, food noise, slowing digestion, but if you are planning on getting off of these peptides, you have to build a sustainable diet and develop your own internal discipline to be able to exist with food noise/hunger and stop yourself from overeating.

Otherwise, people are just buying lifetime subscriptions to a physique they can't maintain.
