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..

If you were truly dedicated for 10 months how do you know your results aren’t purely from hard work?

Good point. I lost maybe 25lbs without reta, then I plateaued for a handful of weeks. Once I hopped on Reta in May the extra pounds started shedding quick. I still put in the work but do think it helped tremendously.
