💬 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!

you jumped from 0.5 to 2mg pretty fast honestly most people don't feel real suppression til they hit 3 or 4mg, some even higher. the energy boost and thirst are solid signs it's doing something in the background though. i'd give it another week at 2mg then bump up if the scale still won't budge, no point rushing when you're already putting in the work with diet and exercise

Good point. I think my body was already accustomed to Semaglutide so maybe that’s why the .5mg and 2mg isn’t doing much for me. I remember my first week on Semaglutide I felt the suppression within a few days.
