Reta issues - gone bad?

S-T-P-72

I've been on Reta for about 7 months now. I was on it for 5 months and started getting these sensitive areas on my stomach, they'd ache, itch, and get bumpy. So I stopped for a couple months. Started back on it and the same thing is happening. Also, it doesn't seem to be working like it used to. I freeze the vials until I need them. Is it possible the Reta has gone bad? Any ideas?
 
I've heard that if you take a break from one of these meds and then start again later, it doesn't always have the same effect. You might need to titrate upwards to get the same results. If they're the same vials you used before, why would they be bad? Same batch, right?
 
That sounds like allodynia. Just search that term plus "GLP-1" online and you'll find info. It's a pretty common side effect. I'm not a doctor, but from what I've read, it's usually not a big deal. I experience it too, mostly on my sides when I wear looser clothing. If my forearms brush against something, I feel it too. I happen to enjoy unusual sensations, so it doesn't really bother me.

Interesting... I'll look into that, thanks! I don't enjoy the sensation so much. Seems like it's getting worse.
 
I've heard some people are having good results with Reta. Wondering if anyone is ordering it online or part of a study?
 
I've had issues with other GLP-1s before! Sema and Tirz both made my stomach a mess. I'm thinking about trying Reta, especially since I'm on TRT and HGH secretagogues. Heard they work well together!
 
I can def see the insomnia thing. I have noticed it. Maybe I should cut back...

Can you give more details about the vial(s)? What's the concentration? Is it one vial you've been using the whole time, or a multi-vial kit? Do you draw a dose, then freeze the rest until your next injection?
I have individual vials, 5mg each. I draw and then freeze
