That's probably why, give it another month.
I tossed some tirz down on it and started losing again. I’m in 4mg Reta twice a week to avoid the GI upset side effects. Another couple weeks I’ll go up to 6 2x and drop the tirz again and see how it goes. Maybe. I really don’t like stacking the two though

I was very worried first when I stopped tirz for reta, cuz my appetite was back with a revenge.

I gained a couple of pounds back during those two months and had to work harder on myself to stay in control.

I can tell you however it paid out, I'm at 5mg once a week at the moment. I started from 1.5mg and increased by 1.5mg every month.

It takes time to build up in your system, one month especially with a GLP tolerance isn't enough time.

Its been a month since I stopped taking tirz and only Reta. I’ve been on Reta since like early November but stacked with tirz. I read a lot of user experiences that indicated they lost better on just Reta so I dropped the tirz around dec 10 or so

I've heard similar stories.

Something occurred to me today. Obviously I can’t scientifically prove anything but I have a theory.

When users start tirz a common complaint is frequent urination.

We know that tirz reduces inflammation. Along with that could reasonably be a diuretic effect.

After the tirz stabilized in my system the frequent urination ceased.

When I stopped tirz I stopped losing weight. When I added a small dose of tirz back, I lost weight immediately but also started super frequent urination again. I suspect it will continue a few doses. Maybe that’s just me. Everyone is different

My theory is when the tirz tapered off in my system I started retaining water for whatever reason at a rate nearly equal to the rate of weight loss.

I suspect this is related to inflammation but I really wouldn’t know.

Very possible, I noticed the same thing

wait, really? I wonder if this is the same for reta. I went up in dose on reta a few weeks back and I can drink nothing in a day and still pee like 8 times. It's out of control!

I thought the same and stopped losing weight when I dropped the tirz. Everyone’s different though. So many people said they dropped weight super fast in Reta, I’m a bit disappointed

Edit I had great appetite suppression on 8mg Reta when I was not shitting my guts out. The suppression tapered off around day 5. Again, everyone’s different. 🤷‍♂️
I have been on both. I made it up to 7.5 of the tirz. I am only on 4 of the reta and have lost about the same as the tirz. I did not have to go up much with the reta though thankfully because i had my guts coming out as well LOL. I did hit a 4 week stall on the reta. I changed injection site from stomach to arm and that kicked it in gear again. I dropped almost 3 lbs this week.

3lbs in a week is extreme unless you are still VERY overweight. Otherwise, you'll fair better long term if you slow down a little.

I still have over 80 lbs to lose. I was averaging about 2 lbs a week. Then I hit a stall for about 4 weeks. Im not sure if it was the sight change or what but my stall broke.

It sounds like you're doing fine then. Stalls are normal too, especially for women around their cycles.

I actually only go up maybe 1 or 2 lbs around that time. I am down a total of 94 lbs. 60 of it was when i started reta. It has been a game changer for me. I couldn't believe how good I started to feel. I have lost weight before but never felt like it made much of a difference in my inflammation levels. This really helped with that.
