Best time of day to inject Reta

[Figis1badcat]

Plan to start on Reta soon and was wondering if there is a best or better time of day to inject. First time using a GLP, or really anything. My goal is to loose some weight (25-30 lbs) as well as just increase my overall health. Also thinking of adding KLOW in a few weeks

Personally I’d pin in the morning the first time. Wouldn’t want to pin at night, have a bad reaction and ruin a nights sleep. Also would suggest the weekend if you’re off work. Again, while unlikely, a bad reaction would suck if you had to work through it.

After the first one, it really doesn’t matter. Takes weeks to build up in your system.

Reta has less appetite suppression compared to the other GLPs. I personally have seen suppression peak 48+ hr later with both Triz and Reta and I like being able to eat out on weekends so I time my suppression valley and dose Friday night or Saturday morning so I can enjoy myself.

First ever pin do during the day. After that I like to do it before bed.

I like to take my GLP shot on Sundays then by the time the weekend comes around any yuck feelings that I may get have subsided

Peak blood levels are 24 to 48 hours after injection, which is a bit longer than some of the other GLP's. Given how long it takes , the levels should build up pretty slowly so it really should not make a lot of difference what time of day you inject it. Once you have had a few doses or even one you might be able to tell when effects become obvious and then you can try to time injections better if needed, but given the 1-2 days absorption time I am not sure there is any point in trying to guess beforehand. And if you cannot tell when effects start it does not matter anyway. It is only if side effects are an issue, and by then you should be able to work out how long it takes after an injection for them to be at their worst and time the injections to minimise disruptions to life if needed. Or if they are a major issue split dosing.

If you are concerned about affecting work ability and do not work on weekends , do the first dose friday afternoon after work.

Some would say when starting out , morning is good in case there is any safety concerns , such as batch labeling/ concentration inaccuracy, sketchy BAC water , of some kind of contamination . That is my approach, once I have a few pins under my belt from a cartridge, I'm more comfortable with evening /night pins

Reta increases your resting heart rate. Personally I've noticed that if I take it too close to bed time that my heart is racing a bit and I have a hard time sleeping. No such issues when I take it earlier in the day!

We do about 10 on Friday morning. @SITHRE My HR is normally around 72, but has been 76 on Reta. Sleeping it's an average of 63 BPM based on the new mattress we got on 2/26. I had no clue the mattress did that.

Thanks everyone for the input. I really appreciate it. Ima start with the Reta later this week, probobly Friday morning. Looking forward

I usually pin at 11am every monday, had no issues when it was Tirzepatide and I was fine with Retatrutide this time around as well. It's like what others said I just avoid pinning at night because I don't was a disruption in my sleep. My friend still takes Wegovy and she uses it at night because it makes her nauseous, so she pins at night to sleep it off

I imagine for me Monday mornings at 0530 when I wake up will be best. Gives it a chance to het in my system, for me to hit the gym in the morning and then settle down during the day. I'm a very light sleeper, if a bird farts it wakes me up so anything to keep the heart rate down!

interesting how different people like to dose. I like to take it just before bed because I find it makes me sleepy, when I take during the day I want to lie down about an hour later. My cousin says if she pins after like 2pm she has a headache the next day, she likes a morning shot. I d say start with a day time to see how you feel but then play around with it to see when hits best for you.

I have taken mine before bed and I have taken it first thing in the morning. I have noticed no difference in side effects or any other factors.

I keep reading that Reta increases resting heart rate. I guess I'm lucky (or, at 1.5mg my dose is too low) because I didn't experience that effect whatsoever.

I swapped things out a little bit, working in a new cartridge I'm on 4mg , do something different I pined 2mg last night and then another 2mg this morning.

I pin it in the morning before breakfast and never had an issue.

 

[Quatroskin]

I also pin in the morning when I wake up

Appears to be a side benefit of less or no nausea spacing out same dose over two days.

I do the same when switching kit/source/mass. You never know when someone at the factory had a bad day, and if I'm getting feels on half a dose, something is up. Of course I typically use a vial/cart for 6-7 weeks so it's not a common occurance. (Note that Jeep is currently shipping both 30 & 60mg T orange cap).

Good to see someone in agreement, yes helps reduce the risk and with 34g pins , can't feel it anyhow.

If keep sending same orange vials , would be a simple mistake at factory , distribution or at home to mix them up . Risk reduction and fat reduction go hand in hand .
