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'm around the same dose as you but I'm also very sensitive to meds / peptides. If there's a side effect, I'm sure to experience it šŸ˜†
 
I always pin in the morning. When I first started Reta, I made the mistake of making my first pin in the evening, and had a serious case of insomnia and got zero sleep that night.
 
i always pin at night and then by morning my stomach is adjusted to it and usually wake up to a BM and am good to go after that

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.
So, when I started Tirz last year it was on a split dose, but my first was deliberately Friday morning because I felt like if it kicks in that day or over the weekend at least I have nothing happening. Over time--since I was splitting it--I was doing Friday AM, Sunday late afternoon, Tuesday before bed so that there was an even time gap between. What I've noticed in this last year plus is that it really kicks in about 24 hours later, and I do better sleeping if I take it late afternoon or evening vs in the AM, though getting the trots at bedtime is no fun either way lol

Since I will be stacking with a tiny dose of Reta, I think I am going to start the same way with that as I did with tirz, a Friday or Saturday morning and see how my body handles it.

Totally agree. Also would add one more thing. Some people are very sensitive, don't want to ruin you day or week. Make sure to do test pin, like 0.5mg or less. Then, wait at least a day or two. If all is good continue with your plan. I do this to all Peptides and new batches.
 
Just wanted to update that I’ve been pinning mid day and have been doing fine. It’s been a little over 2 months and down about 17 lbs. been going low and slow from .5 mg titrating up to 2.mg over 9-10 weeks. Really liking it. Next thing to look into is possible GB
 
I hadn't even thought about time of day pinning, and I'm about to start for the first time. Thanks for the information.

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.
I do the wife and I around 10AM Fridays. As far as appetite suppression I thought the same. I always thought the MLB fro J5 R24 hit hard when we were doing it the end of March. Mixed two J5 MLB R50/3ml BAC 3 weeks ago, we've pinned twice at 8mg (4.3mg with the calculation conversions). This stuff has kicked my ass, killed my appetite, and I feel full all the time. The weight loss is crazy. Not sure what the difference is.
 
When I first started, I did it around 9am on Friday, and now I usually do whichever day I am pinning in the evening, usually I get the worst sides around 24 hours later so that way I am usually at home already nearing bedtime.
