I started Reta at 2mg. Got up to 7.5 and had to stop because of the bad sides. Didn't lose a single pound. So, not a non-responder exactly, but not working how it should. I sped up the dose increases too fast. I'm off it to let it clear, and back on at 2mg now. Going to follow the study dosing...

I have everything. VPN, blocker... you name it! My email is even a ghost email, lol.

Same thing on the second try. I'm sure that's not the only place that discusses it. 😉

Is it just me, or does that link want me to sign up for something to read the article? Is there another link maybe?

I'm celebrating my anniversary! I started my Mounjaro shots on January 5th, 2025. I lost 25KG and I feel amazing. I am so grateful for this medication! What really helped me on my journey: Tracking my food intake Intermittent fasting by not eating after dinner and delaying breakfast...

It does feel amazing when you start seeing results, doesn't it? Seeing these posts makes me want to go harder in the gym!

High dose was too high for me, higher risk for that issue. PT one forty one with something else might work better, less locked in and less risky. Some meds like antipsychotics or older antidepressants can be problematic with PT one forty one.

ozempic 2 years, lost 65 which i'm happy with. hit a wall, need another 20 to exit obese. switched to mounjaro, month in and up 5 pounds. appetite higher than ever. finishing dinner and wanting more, never happened before. compounded version. what's going on? anyone switch between the two?

Great job!

I love hearing this for you! Keep up the great work! \m/

LLMs told me 5ml reconstitute and 1ml inject equals 1mg but if 0.2-0.25 is the right amount then 1ml seems overkill. Is there a real diff in how much you dilute it?

If it's loose skin, shapewear might help smooth things out, but it won't really 'suck' anything in. You might want to look into options for skin tightening if it bothers you that much. But also, congrats on the weight loss! That's HUGE!

Yep. It delays gastric emptying; what you ate the day before, or even two days before, can still be hanging around and cause issues. I had terrible pain and vomiting a few days after increasing my dose because I tried to eat “normally” while traveling. Never again!

I've also heard that compounded semaglutide is a more affordable option. Might be worth checking out if cost is a concern. I saw the discussion here: https://www.another forum

Are you trying to hold in fat or loose skin?

Ozempic isn’t a magic bullet. You have to do your part as well.

My doctor prescribed it as .5 mg as well, but with instructions to start at .25 mg for the first four weeks. I think the packaging also mentions that. I cannot imagine beginning at .5 mg. Double check the directions with your doctor. Some don’t give good instructions when prescribing unfortunately.

Anything you listed there would make a person feel ill. Technically it isn’t a side effect.

I agree, definitely speak with your doctor. The dosage might be too much to begin with. In the meantime, try some electrolyte drinks. Bone broth can be really helpful too!

I pre-filled my reta into a NovoPen 4 and I'm taking an old Mounjaro box and a prescription from half a year ago. Everything goes in a 3D printed case, then a cooler in my checked luggage. If asked, I say it's my prescribed Mounjaro.
