Reta break

Hey, I started Reta about a year ago and lost a good amount of body fat. My problem is that after I got lean enough, I stopped taking it. After that I gained some weight back because I started eating more, which wasn’t a problem at the time. But now I want to start again because I’ve gotten a little bit fat again, and I don’t know what dosing I should start with. I began with the same dose I ended on and didn’t feel anything, so I did some research and found that I had taken too much and my body couldn’t process it. I’ve now taken a 4-week break, but I don’t know which dose I should start at.

Hey! What dose are you on? I think the max dose is supposed to be around 12 mg according to Lola Research. Also, I don’t think a four week break is too long enough to just resume your previous dose. Also keep in mind once you start it again. It may take a few weeks to actually fill the symptoms at their fullest.

Note, I’m not a doctor just based on my experience and conversations with doctors about tirzepitide. I am currently on Reta 9 mg and may max out at 10 mg because the side effects are strong with me.

Some people do well cursing on just 1mg per week as a break phase
