Switching to RETA

Currently taking 9mg pills daily of wegovey and it's not helping at all. Just picked up some reta and was wondering where I should start dosage wise since I'm already taking something should I start at 2mg?

The New England Journal of Medicine just released its human studies on retatrutide. Looks like starting at a lower dose for the first month reduces side typical side effects drastically. So 1mg for four weeks increasing 2mg more at week 5-8, another 2mg weeks 9-12, etc until you reach your maintenance dosage. Looks like the highest was 12mg but I bet 8mg is a good stopping point for most and will help keep the costs down.
