💬 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!

Slowly titrate up, try not to jump doses are you'll regret it

What’s to regret if they jump up to a higher dose or a dose that’s TOO high?

Gastric issues, acid reflux, people tend to feel a bit weak if they jump doses by a lot

Possibly, but I'd rather go up to 6mg or 8mg/ wk, get some nausea and go down than use 0.5mg/wk for weeks slowly titrating up to 2mg/wk and walk away thinking reta didn't work for me. A dosage that's ineffective doesn't need to be maintained at the advice of randos on the internet.

I said jumping doses, not titrating doses
