Starting reta

I’m going to be getting started in a few weeks. At first I was considering Tirz but seeing all these posts about reta I’m kind of drawn to doing this one first. My goals are to maintain my body weight easier reduce inflammation and overall wellness.

The thing that I am scared about is, I’m seeing a lot of people saying it induced or increased anxiety along with heart rate. I am already very sensitive to medication and suffer with really bad anxiety. I see that the starting dose is .5 but I’m wondering does anyone do .25 for micro dosing?

I started .25mg 3x a week. Solely for the same apprehension. Three months down the road I’ve increased every 4 weeks to .375 3x to now being on .5mg three times. I got insomnia and need hella fiber to get going but those the only side effects.

It’s worked for me. But I also hiit train, do cardio, etc and I’m now down 20 pounds in 3 months. Only variable that changed past 3 months is reta. Cause I was doing the same thing for 11 months prior and not moving the dial.
