Anyone on Reta experience panic attacks?

[Chubbyfairygodmother]

I’ve been dealing with this, panic attacks, tingling sensation in my left arm (all the classic effects of a heart attack) and very very bad shortness of breath. Saw my dr and she knows about Reta, assessed me and nothing, told me the symptoms will disappear in a few days & to take it easy. I spent the day in ER yesterday and again, bloods and imaging showed nothing. I actually felt fine in the ER almost like the extra cool hospital temperature relaxed my nervous system.

Alas I returned home, went to sleep and woke up with my heart racing, had to do breathing techniques and just count to help calm myself down. My left arm is tingling as I type this. I will not be taking reta anymore. It’s been 5 days since my injections and the side effects are still here.

How much did you pin?

I have panic attacks when my peptides have been delayed by shipping company.

How much did you pin?

0.5, 0.75 and then 1mg on the first week. No issues the first 2 weeks.

YES. Titrated up to 3mg twice a week over the course of about 3 months. Never saw much benefit but suddenly HR in the 150s. Couldn’t catch my breath, arms and legs both went dead log numb. Explosive diarrhea, vomiting, pouring sweat with no temp. Ended up taking an ambo ride and getting fluids and calm your tits medications. Doc said it’s the glp and being massively dehydrated with an anxiety attack. Was so bad I’m done with Reta.

I’ve never had any medical issues and only ER/hospital visits have been for a walking pneumonia and cut hand. On no prescriptions so this was my it of left field and SUCKED.

I get worse anxiety on reta... and much worse sleep... tends to be better if I eat more carbs, but even that for some reason stoppd working this week. I am eating a lot of carbs but my sleep is terrible

yes it raises your HR... but also it can cause low blood sugar which causes anxiety symptoms... bad anxiety symptoms... its causing low blood sugar for me even though I am legit eating carbs... I am going to have to go down in dosage
