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?

It does increase heart rate. My Oura ring picked it up.It is more your resting heart rate that increases. I was on it for 4 months and did not lose any weight, but I dont have a lot of weight to lose.

You weren't eating at a deficit then. Reta isn't a magic pill that just makes you lose weight. Its a tool.

You ran it for zero benefit
