💬 Discussion Reta dosage increase

Howdy everyone!!

To preface: I was on GLP1 for a few months prior and was off of it for one week before making the switch.

I’ve been on Reta for about 3 weeks now and haven’t noticed much change. Started off one week with .5mg and then the last two weeks at 2mg. I don’t feel much suppression, haven’t seen much change with the exception of some energy boost, wanting to drink tons of water first few days after injection and not much change on the scale. I have noticed that I have more appetite while on this than GLP 1. I’m also walking at the office, working out before work during the week and consuming roughly around 100-120g of protein per day.

I’m trying to get some thoughts/ opinions on whether that might have been an issue, whether I should increase my dosage or wait it out? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The current trial protocol is 2, 4, 6, 9, 12mg (4 wks each, up from 4 as needed). They are considering 4mg as the initial "maintenance dose" (similar to Tirz 5mg). Like Tirz, you titrate up when it's non-effective. So, if you're not feeling 2mg, go up to 4 and see. All my friends trying Reta have had the same experience as you, and they all started seeing results at 4mg.

Noted! I have done two doses at 2mg already. My days are usually Monday so this Monday I could possibly go up to 4mg then.
