Thinking about switching to Sema from Reta

[dosedup-later]

Currently running reta at 3mg weekly, and back at the very start, just 1mg, the weight loss momentum felt incredible for a good stretch. These days though, it's like nothing's registering anymore, which has me considering pushing to 4mg. Trouble is my resting pulse jumped roughly 20 points and that's not something worth chasing further. So now I'm leaning toward trying sema instead when my next round begins. Curious what starting dose makes sense and how the experience typically differs from reta.

Yes, nausea's more likely with one particular compound. The other could bump up heart rate instead. Plenty of ways things could go sideways honestly. Stay cautious out there.

That particular number doesn't correspond to a standard dosing unit for that medication. Converting it to the actual milligram equivalent would be needed before switching providers.

Been posting updates in a few spots about what's worked for me over three years. Down 137 pounds total, started at 336, and as of this past Monday I'm sitting right at 198.2. Currently running 15mg reta on Thursdays and 1mg sema on Mondays. Still losing slowly, wouldn't mind reaching 190. Original target was 230, blew past that and I'm now down 41% of my starting weight.
