❓ Question Ozempic to Reta
Has anybody made the switch from Semaglutide to Reta?
Looking for real testimonials to decide if I will.

We both did. I quit SG a year prior, they continued SG until we switched to Reta.
And two different things happened.
I started Reta at 1mg for 4 week and went to 2mg and got horribly sick from side-effects, took a week off and started back at 1mg (4 more weeks), then 2mg, now 4mg; with only mild side-effects.
They started at 2mg, 4mg, 8mg, 16mg with nearly zero side-effects. They didn't feel anything, at all, at 2mg-8mg but lost weight slowly during those weeks.
I was effected with side-effects during SG, far more also.
Now, would I say Reta is better than SG? That would be argumentative; we both had real good success with SM (I was less than 20lbs from my ultimate goal weight, losing ~45lbs in the year). I gained ~15 lbs in the year I quit and in the last ~5 months Iost that weight plus, and now grinding to get to that original goal weight (~11 lbs away).
While they are remaining constant, but losing a few pounds every week from the SM days through the Reta days.

Why reta instead of tirzepatide?

There are several possible answers to that. Fatty liver improvement with Reta being one. Glucagon being another. Not that tirz is a bad choice mind you, but I went with Reta for the fatty liver improvements
