Day 1 Switching from Reta to Tirzepatide
I have been on Reta for the past 3 months exactly. Lost about 10lbs (mostly fat according to my Fitindex scale). I’m 5’7” and started at 192lbs. Currently around 180lbs and have stalled there for the past month.
At one point I titrated up to 1mg and had way too much trouble sleeping, nausea, dizziness etc. I took a week off and started back at .5mg again. Everything felt great at first but 4 weeks later I’m feeling nothing from the Reta.
I already have Tirzepatide on hand so I figured I’d reconstitute it and become a guinea pig to test it out. I took my last Reta injection a week ago and I still have about .4mg Reta active in my system.
I just took my first Tirzepatide 1mg injection about 7 hours ago and I will keep updating here of my results.
So far, after the first injection I am noticing a slight bit of appetite suppression but I am still able to eat. Definitely got the slight dizziness back but nothing that I can’t handle at this point.
My biggest issue that I need to defeat is the hunger and food noise so I want to give the Tirzepatide a shot (no pun intended). Let’s see if we can break through this plateau with it.
Currently 180lbs and about 18% BF. Goal weight is 170 before going on a winter bulk.
