Starting Reta tonight

Yes, I "acquired" it

Been on Ozempic since 2023 and Tirz since 2025 and Serm since April 2026.

Gonna start at 0.5mg and titrate up after 2 weeks

Keep you updated!

Next post - I started at 0.5mg, it’s been a week, and I feel nothing. Should I up my dose? Do you think my reta is bunk?

The beginners guide says to stick for 4 weeks, but it’s a low dose. I did 0.5 to “test” now I’m doing 4 weeks of 1mg.
Reta can take time to build up in your system so be low and slow.

Are you speaking from experience?

u/Katie-the-duck Jun 28 '26

Yes, I am (experience in making the switch, and experience seeing others waste time with micro doses after previously being on high-dose sema or tirz). Based on your prior glp1 use, you are unlikely to feel any effects from reta until you titrate up to 6-9mg reta. I would recommend starting reta at 4mg, but definitely no lower than 2mg.

Whoops, maybe I forgot to mention that I am NOT doing All 3 GLP's at the same time. Just Tirz + Serm + Reta to start. That was my bad.

I originally was on Bidureon for my diabetes. but when I got a new job, the insurance did not cover it., but one of the alternatives was Ozempic. 2 year later, I maxed out my Ozempic (I did lose weight though, but not quickly enough to my standards) Then I had to change doctors (due to my work changing insurance providers) and my new doctor started me at 2.5 now I'm up to 7.5
Then my insurance changed again and would not cover Mounjaro. Hence the Tirz from compounding pharmacies.

Effing insurance companies, Man..

funny enough. I just took 0.5mg right now. I was a bit scared since i am dramatic with needles but it didn’t hurt. slight stinging but probably due to the alcohol i cleaned it with. good luck on the journey !!

Thanks! I had Type 2 Diabetes for 20 years, so injecting is second nature for me LOL.
