Someone new to another forum was advised to follow this chart for reta. Glad she asked for a second opinion on discord.
Careful where you get your advice folks.

Those numbers are insaneMr.Tired said:
IMHO.I have always believed in start low, go slow.
The manufacturers love this regime, as you spend way more.
I started at 1mg a week and am now at 500mcg 3 x a week. Works for me. Some may need more, but start low and only titrate as needed.
I’m pretty new to researching various versions of glps etc. what would be considered a more widely accepted approach to the numbers?I know my manufacturer is sooo slow it takes a while to get to a therapeutic dose. I assumed it’s part safety but also prob profit driven. Somewhere in the middle is the sweet spot? But also I know less about triple antagonist research and amounts than standard glp alone.Mr.Tired said:
I've been looking for a dosing chart that aligns with the medical testing guidelines/results . I thought they would be easier to find . I think the realty is to start as low as possible. And work up as slow as possible.Mr.Tired said:
Even the medical testing may be a bit high as they will be pushing the boundaries to achieve max results.
If you google Eli Lilly phase 3 trials you can find the dosages they use very easily.
Week 7 they're banging 2ml..... so they'll need a 3cc syringe with a 23 or 25g intramuscular needle. Might as well use that last ml with tren. Unbelievable!Mr.Tired said:
All I'm going to say is that everyone is different and will respond differently. It seems a majority of people who are sensible start with a low dose and only move up when the effects aren't felt. They don't go off of a chart or some pre determined route. It's all about listening to your body.
The clinical trial included five doses titrating up every four weeks: 2 mg, 4 mg, 6 mg, 9 mg and 12 mg.Herslilchunky said:
Anecdotally, other researchers report starting lower and finding the results they wanted by topping out at only 2 or 4 mg.
All I can envision is someone running to the bathroom and throwing up! Low and slow is best practice IMO. Increase dose too soon and you can get other unpleasant side effects that didn't plague you before.Mr.Tired said:
Why tf do people go outside of trial/clinical doses? I'll never understand this.weightlossking84 said:
Exactly. I would never want to be more aggressive than the recommended dosages. Taking less or increasing slower? Fine. Taking more? Not for me.Sid the SeaGull said:
This is the type of stuff that keeps people injured or killed!!!
I started at 1mg for 4 weeks, and now at 2mg for another 4 weeks. At the end of those 4 weeks I'll determine if I need to go up to 4mg or stay where I'm at depending on results.Herslilchunky said:
Are they reconstituting this themselves? Why would you want that large of an injection? I have 6mg per week and the injection is 0.12mL
Good golly miss molly! I mean I know everyone is different but I feel like at the least you should give it a couple weeks/month to see how you are responding to a dose and NOT auto increase. I started at 2 got up to 6 and am now back down to 2.5mg and may need to decrease even that!
Point being reta goes to 12mg and not approved so ur gonna go 20mg after 7 weeks..... which you could pin with 40 units, not 200, (2ml) is 2 full diabetic syringes....
OD'ing on GLPs is no joke. That chart is a sure way to get there.
