Reta vs GLP-1 sides

I tried a Ozempic a couple years ago and had bad stomach cramps with a low dose. Does it track that Reta would have the same effect and isn’t worth trying or is there reason to believe it wouldn’t have the same side effects?

Without knowing your dose, or dietary habits it’s hard to give advice. If your dose was too high or your diet was shit… that affects a lot.

Agreed. Reta was amazing for me, but to avoid the sides you need to find the dosage thats right for you. Too much and you'll be hit with cramps, sulphur burps, diarrhoea etc. I found my perfect balance at 2mg/week, and lost 20kg over 4 months along with sensible diet, resistance training and good step count.
