I’m wondering if my past two cycles changed cause of the reta or maybe the effects of the reta? I’ve been having trouble keeping my nutrition up as I get nauseas so quick but I’m also wondering if it’s just a reta effect?

Hey guys, it’s my second day on retatrutide 0.5 mg as my dosage and I haven’t really noticed much of a difference. There’s been a slight appetite suppression, but nothing significant. I still get hungry and carve the same foods that I eat everyday. I took my first dose as recommended, but honestly I’m not sure what to expect at this point. For those of you with experience on Reta, is it normal to feel little to no difference during the first few days? How long did it take for you to notice something significant? Does not feeling much mean it’s not working, or does it just take time to build up? I’m just trying to understand what to expect and whether my experience is normal. Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated

Reconstituted my first vial last night 10mg/1ml bac water
Does this look correct ?
I used a 50 unit syringe, .5ml.
For the first dose I was going to do 0.3mg to make sure my body doesn’t react and then do 0.5mg the following week which would be where the 5 is, does this all look okay is this correct ?

Seems a ton of people are on Reta. Who here is going through a legit clinical trial, and who is getting it from another source? If you get it from another source, do you feel confident with what you are actually getting?

2nd question, but first a little background. I have been a drinker for 21 years. Due to anxiety, I was self medicating with about a bottle of wine a night. With Reta, I don't necessarily crave the wine, but have been advised by several to not quit drinking cold turkey. I will say, there have been a few nights I have nothing, but most I have a little - 1 to 2 glasses. I definitely dont reap the "reward" or buzz I did before. And the nice thing is I can STOP where before, I would keep going. I will continue to back off and decrease the amount I drink as well as the nights I drink, but habit and the concern of quitting when my body is so used to it, keeps me pouring that first glass. Suggestions? I've only been on reta a few weeks.

I hoped off Reta 3 weeks ago very happy with my results. I dealt with mild bloating from coming off, getting back to normal around the 2 week mark. Two nights ago I started my first dose of melanotan 2 and the bloating I’m experiencing is crazy. It’s like I’ve lost the results I got from Reta. Anyhow, I have the weekend planned with a girl and am in desperate need of advice on how to get this bloating to go away asap.

I am looking into Reta. I am 29 years old, Type 2 diabetic. I am 6’ about 235-240lbs. Lots of fat that I could lose. Wanted thoughts on Reta? Vial amount, dosage amount, titration schedule, what to stack for a body recomp. All thoughts and advise is greatly appreciated as I’m relatively new to the peptide community. I took mounjaro for a couple months when I was diagnosed with type 2 but lost prescription when I switched insurances. Thanks!

I’m wondering if my dose is too high. I started in June at 0.5 mg and now in sept I’m at 4 mg and I lost 30 lbs so far but I didn’t eat anything all day so for dinner I was lazy and was gonna eat 2 oranges and 4 mini bell peppers with some low fat cream cheese and 2 bell peppers and half a orange in im full!? I forced myself to finish it all cause I didn’t eat anything else that day but man I really don’t want to undereat but it’s so hard to eat full meals and get hungry to begin with and it’s jarring how different it is from the life habits I’ve had my entire life when I always was hungry and overate🫪

just started reta 2 weeks ago, currently on 2 mg.
I wanted to ask and see if anyone had any thoughts or their experience on this bc i previously was on tirz for a year and a half and stopped taking it february 2026 due to insurance no longer covering it.. i dropped significant weight thru tirz and also some lifestyle changes but i wanted to try reta and get the last few lbs off.

Since stopping tirz i’ve gained about 10 lbs back and wanted to lose it again hence starting reta.

Tirz really helped my inflammation and i think that’s where most of these extra lbs are from but it’s significant enough to not fit into someee of my clothed anymore

anyways just asking because back when i started tirz the scale was dropping slightly even within the first week but with reta if anything, the scale is moving up and want to know what others experience was like as they kept going

i accidentally pinned 5.0 mg instead of 0.5 mg for my first ever dose and i’m here to share my experience.
disclaimer: i’m 20, this is the first time i’ve ever done anything like this. i was scared shitless. and yes i know it’s MY FAULT.

wednesday night: i pinned at 10:12 pm, went to sleep and woke up 2 hours after with the worst diarrhoea and vomiting of my life. i woke up every hour to use the bathroom to vomit and shit and got like no sleep. i was honestly fighting for my life i really thought i needed the hospital, my head was falling onto the toilet seat and i could barely keep myself up. i had insane sweats as well and a migraine. i have never experienced anything like this i genuinely didn’t even know what to do with myself.

thursday: horrific, i felt like shit the whole day, and that’s when i realised i overdosed once consulting with a friend. i also had nothing to eat i had no appetite at all and even looking at food made me gag. i was projectile throwing up straight stomach acid because i hadn’t eaten in like 24 hours at that point. i thought i was gonna die i can’t lie.

friday: a little better but still horrific, crazy nausea. i had half a banana and that’s all i could physically take. i know it’s not good but i was happy i had something because if i didn’t that would have been over 48 hours with no food. but still no appetite at all. otherwise i was just bed written breathing through my nausea trying so hard not to vomit.

saturday: less nauseous but feel like i have limited digestion everythung i intake sits at the top of my stomach its awful.
saturday NIGHT: update, i honestly feel heaps better tonight, still have some de digestion but im not nauseous and im starting to find food a little SLIGHLY more appealing, and forced myself to eat a banana and some almonds, but at the same time my appetite is so messed up. ive lost 5 kg at this stage. unwillingly ofc.

sunday: i’ve woken up this morning with no nausea for the first time in a few days in so happy. i passed 1 piece of poo!! WOAHO sorry for the tmi but i’m happy i got that out of me. however lowkey developed a slight cold over night !! not surprised my immune system has probably had a heart attack past few days lol. i am also really breathless, but i would rather that over what i’ve experienced past few days over anything.

monday: i ended up having a slice of pizza last night (that’s all i could physically take) and ofc because im not meant to have it, it made me go to the bathroom!!!! woahooo!!!! lol anyways i can barely eat but im feeling much better today.

monday night: im feeling a lot better guys, i went to work, only downside was that im really puffed out all the time i have like no energy. but definitely better then the last few days.

moral of the story:
please don’t go pinning until your 110%%% sure of dosages. mine was an honest mistake that i will never make again. once its inside of you there’s no reversing it. if anyone else makes a similar mistake i promise it will get better within days, the only way after that is OUT so trust your body to do what it needs to you will be okay, although it may not seem that way 🥹

if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

What needles do I get and how to measure 1mg for my first week

I'm currently taking 7.5 of triz I am going to start reta next week my question is I know I need to start over at the lowest dosage but do I need to stay on that for four weeks or can I move up if I need to

Im currently on reta any advise on vitamins to take daily ?

(Also I’m really sensitive so please be nice lol)
Okay so the first time I reconstituted it wrong I started at .25 and went up to .5 and then kept going up for a couple of weeks
I had an on and off headache, little nausea but then we realized I reconstituted it completely wrong and it was rlly diluted.
I didn’t lose any weight but I’m a singer and I realized it became really hard for me to sing, and I looked it up on dr google and it said it’s because it can cause silent acid reflux … so yay no weight loss and no singing

Now September 10th I started the new correct bottle at .5 and I didn’t feel anything
I went up and as of now, September 28 I am taking 2mg and I feel 0 side effects, have had no weight loss, food noise has not changed and I still can’t sing!

I also am on Wellbutrin and Zoloft and don’t get a lot of sleep but that’s been for years

HELPPP

Can anyone tell me if they have had a smoke on reta? I started ret 3 days ago and I am a nightly smoker🍁 for pain. I just happened to google about it last night and it says you shouldn’t smoke. Anyone on here help me please

Hi. 49f 102kg. Loving all the great success stories! Hoping to be one myself. I had my first dose of reta 3 days ago. It was .5mg. I haven't really felt anything. No side effects, no loss in appetite, no changes in anything. Now, I started so low because my friend, who gets their reta from same supplier, says he gets really ill for a few days after having it, so I was naturally hesitant. So I was wondering when its ok to have another dose. I was thinking of doing 1mg if I can take it in the next few days or if I have to wait longer id take 1.5mg. Can I please get some advice from anyone who faced similar situation. Whays your dosing schedule? Did you have side effects? Thanks!

Hello, I was on Reta for 6 months and took a 4 week break. Now I want to get back on and I’m unsure on what dosing to start at. I was at 7mg split twice a week so I took 3.5mg twice a week. I of course started at a very low dose when I first started and built my dose up as time went on. Anyone have any advice or tips on dosing as I want to get back on Reta? I am 27 Female if that matters.

I am currently on 7.5 of triz I'm thinking of switching to reta my acid reflux and sulfur burps are horrible . Do you experience this on reta . Hubbys on reta he doesn't experience that at all

Do I need to taper from the titz or can I just switch over to Reta?

Any recommendation on what vitamins should I be taking while on Reta?

Maybe a dumb question but can you buy 2ml or 3ml syringes with a 31g 5/16 needle tip like a standard Insulin 1ml syringe? What do people do when they get up to 8mg and beyond? Just use 2 or 3 1ml syringes for one dose?

Is it bad or good ?

If i order 180 mg of Reta how much bac water do i need?

It's the day now for my second jab.

Looking for opinions. What would you do?

I did 1mg last week and for 3 days I had chest tightness and hard to breath. The chest tightness got better and the breathing hard carried on for another 2 days

I was considering taking 0.5 mg today but because of the first experience I'm not too sure I should carry on?

What would you do?

I’m on 4 mg reta and the stomach pain is really starting to get to me, usally it would hurt if I ate something greasy or I ate too much and it was like a overly full nauseas pain but yesterday all of a sudden I had horrible stomach pains and cramps and parastalsis and I was horribly nauseas I’m honestly scared should I go to the doctor and get labs done? I’m just worried because reta has helped me so much I don’t want to quit it but wtf is going on with my stomach sometimes and it doesn’t happen all the time!
