Tirz was fine, Lost 60 lb, Tried reta...

[Kelly_2004]

Had a solid run on tirz, all the way up to 15mg weekly, shed 60 pounds across roughly a year. Gave reta a shot for a month and just couldn't get decent rest the entire time. Held off until ten days after my final tirz shot before running 1mg reta, waited three more days, then another milligram. Ended up at 5mg total spread across two and a half weeks before jumping to 4mg. Definitely noticed hunger cutting off more strongly, and stomach discomfort ran a bit worse than tirz ever caused, but overnight rest was a mess, jolting awake around 2 or 3am wired despite capping coffee at two cups tops each morning. Concluded reta simply isn't a fit for my body, went back to the original compound at 8 milligrams two weeks after the final reta dose. Sleep quality has bounced back nicely these past days. Just a small stretch of pounds left before hitting goal. Purely anecdotal, results vary wildly person to person. Stay careful out there.

Started reta about a month back and honestly didn't feel like anything was happening. Weighed in three weeks ago and again today, down 12.5 pounds, guessing it's mostly the metabolic boost doing the work. Still getting decent sleep most nights too, I do wake up in the middle of the night fairly often but usually manage to drift back off and get enough total rest. Big difference from tirz for me, that one had me jolting awake feeling like it was already morning, some kind of hormone disruption I think. Either way I'm happy with the progress and hoping for more. For reference I started at a lower amount twice weekly for the first couple weeks, stepped up slightly for the next two, and plan to hold here a while longer at least. Cheers!
