Here's my novice calculations, anybody more well-versed, please correct me if needed.

https://www.calculator.net/half-life-calculator.html

0.5 from Saturday would be 0.25 remaining



0.5 monday would be 0.315 remaining



In total, (in theory) you should have about 0.565 left in you

Adding another 1.0 tomorrow would be pretty close to what you'd see if you dosed 1mg last Saturday, i'd say negligible difference.

But, as i've read it, initially you're just building up your levels, so I am guessing you may metabolize it faster in the beginning until you get your levels up and more stable.

Alright 1mg pin this morning at 11:45. Only happened this late because I was a bum this morning and slept in until 11am. That really almost never happens anymore, I do think somehow ret improved my sleep. Excited to see how my body responds. I think calculating half life I’ve got around 1.5mg on board now. Thank you nkresho for the validation as well.

Within an hour, the light euphoria and hunger suppression have returned! It was tough eating lunch where yesterday that portion size would have been effortless. Stoked to experience this dose level & what lingers already on board from the first shot last saturday&monday.

Blah. Reta kills sleep, doesn't help with it. Let the stuff do it's thing. I don't remember hourly changes.

Perhaps it is more that Reta has not really affected my sleep yet. That being said i cant remember the last time i had sleep scores regularly in the 90's, and often high 90's based on my watch tracking. My resting heart rate has also on average not really gone up. It is within the 10bpm average/range of what normal resting variance i have and have been tracking for years.

I will say yesterday, working hard outside in the hot and humid sun, working on loading animals to take to the auction last night (for an auction going on now today), I got to experience high heart rate, potentially afib. I wasnt working my hardest or pushing as hard as i can/have in the past but i was absolutely tapping the top end of my heart rate. Looking at my health data the watch picked up 162bpm, i didnt think to take a manual measurement at the time. Long ago 20+years, I was evaluated / had a cardiac cath lab for an ablation to fix vfib, they didn't burn the nerve during the operation but thats a whole other story. I haven't had heart issues in well over a decade now outside of bruising my heart in a pretty violent car accident, the same one that really pushed my weight up to what it is today.

Just wanted to keep sharing, treating this thread like a journal that lets others chime in on my thoughts and experiences. Reading multiple threads about other peoples experiences gave me the courage to take the leap, perhaps mine can too.

Last night I think that I unlocked the secret for me and reta's effect on sleep. I have been taking 25mg of enclomaphine for about a month and a half every other day. I accidentally missed my dose two nights ago (sun night) and sun night had relatively poor sleep scored 76. I took it last night (monday night) before bed and got a sleep score of 99!

Poked 1.5mg this morning. Within an hour felt the slight euphoria again, not unpleasant, actually kind of the "after adult activities" clarity kind of euphoria if that makes sense.

Also MUCH better food noise silencing behavior by 130pm didnt even realize i hadnt taken lunch yet and absolutely zero hunger. Did a 60ish gram protein shake with my lunch time supplements.

I will say, this time, i can legit feel the suppression of my nicotine cravings. Chewing for effectively near 25 years I know exactly what those cravings feel like and it has turned that noise down probably 90%.

I also received some additional research materials today with an interesting (to me) sticker on them i will make a new thread on later today after work. Just had a quick break and thought i would keep with the journaling and post my initial reactions to 1.5mg.

今天早上注射了1.5毫克。不到一个小时，我又感觉到了轻微的欣快感，并不难受，实际上有点像“成年人活动后”那种清醒的欣快感，不知道这样说你能不能理解。

而且，到了下午1点半，我对食物的渴望明显降低了，甚至都没意识到自己还没吃午饭，而且完全没有饥饿感。午饭时，我喝了一杯大约60克的蛋白奶昔，还服用了午餐补充剂。

不得不说，这次我真的能感觉到尼古丁的渴望被抑制了。嚼烟快25年了，我非常清楚那种渴望是什么感觉，而这次的1.5毫克大概抑制了90%的渴望。

今天我还收到了一些研究资料，上面贴着一张（对我来说）很有意思的贴纸，下班后我会另开一个帖子来分享。刚才休息了一下，想着继续写日记，把1.5毫克的初步反应也写出来。

我的酒精摄入量减少了大约 50%，尼古丁摄入量也接近减少 50%。我的 Zynn 3mg 烟弹比以前更耐用了，但还没到两倍的程度。目前我对自己的尼古丁摄入量很满意，出门在外忘记带烟弹也没关系，不用特意回去拿或者在外面买。Reta 的这个功能真是太棒了。
