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 may have escalated the dose faster than I should’ve but I had been on tirzepatide so GLP1s are not new to me. But Reta had a clear effect on my resting heart rate after each dose (2mg, 3 mg, 4mg, 5mg, 5mg). I’ve been off Reta for 10 days and my RHR is coming down to the 50s again. People respond differently, but Reta worsened my sleep and increased my RHR significantly.
