Mix-Good Five weeks into reta now, 1mg a week after 2 weeks at 0.5. My appetite is smaller and that's annoying since I'm struggling to get enough protein lol, I'm trying hard to keep the muscle I built this year. Haven't lost much fat that I can tell, I barely weigh myself and go by how I look...

These threads always slide into low carb and protein worship. Fiber's your buddy lol. The gym crowd swears reta beats tirz, but they're more alike than different, since tirz already works on two receptors out of three. I like protein drinks too, but animal protein isn't great for the heart. My...

Anxiety disorder was under control for me before glp1 without meds, but now I get wild nightmares every night and sleep badly, so my doc gave me a low dose of clonazepam for nights I can't drop off. Exercise eases the everyday anxiety but sleep still isn't great. I'm staying on glp1 though, the...

Same here, I had to leave high dose Tirz and I'm on Reta 4 mg now because of the anhedonia. Felt low, zero drive. About 3 weeks later I had more energy and my mood came back. Your dose is pretty high, so try lowering it a bit. I'm still using Cagri and waiting on Elora. I want to lose maybe 5-10...

Never switched away from that same 22 mg/ml strength for this whole drug class from day one. That works out to 10 units equaling 2.2, 20 units equaling 4.4, and scaling up from there. Could've changed the concentration and dosing at any point, just never bothered. Since I mix nearly every...

Hope you feel just as incredible as you look! It's genuinely a medical miracle. Just wish my mother and grandmother could've stuck around to see what GLP-1s might have meant for them.

She sounds jealous! Wouldn't stress about it too much. Congrats on your progress, just tune her out. Haven't even mentioned it to my own sister or sister-in-law, knowing they'd have plenty to say and I'm just not up for it. They'll find out once the results speak for themselves

Had that exact same thought... I mean come on, still got 80 pounds left to lose, feels a bit much...

Paying out of my own pocket for the prescription through an online provider, but it's genuinely helped with the binge eating. That struggle used to feel impossible to break. Completely worth getting on this.

Adding a small reta dose midweek completely fixed the rough patch I'd get toward the end of my week. Running 7.5mg tirz on Fridays and 3mg reta on Tuesdays. Curious to experiment with pulling the tirz dose down a bit from here.

Key thing there is it actually works. Personally I'm team low and slow, but plenty of folks genuinely need to run higher doses. Nothing wrong with that. Whatever gets results.

10mg to 7.5mg to 5mg over 22 months while maintaining the diabetes management piece is the step-down maintenance story that shows the medication can work at lower doses than the peak loss dose. The insulin adjustment at the lower dose is worth tracking - the A1C improvement to 5.1 is already at...

Reta not agreeing and the survo stack having sides - cagri as the next logical add at 15-20mg tirz is a reasonable plan and the OP's accidental 15mg cagri dose will give you a lot of data points on how you actually respond to it before you intend to. Not ideal timing but useful information...

r/glpgrad is the right resource for tapering and stopping protocols - the community there has collected a lot of first-person experience that the clinical literature hasn't fully addressed yet. The cold turkey vs. gradual tapering question has a clearer answer there than you'll find from most...

6 months from 0.5 to 2.4mg with twice weekly doing better than once is a useful data point. The twice weekly switch at 2 months when suppression was fading between doses is the right timing to try it. 30 lbs on that path is a good result. How has the suppression held at 1.2mg twice weekly now?
