Making Switch from Tirz to Reta

[cgall88]

Been on 15mg Tirz (mounjaro) for 6+ months. Want to make full switch to Reta ie end game of making no tirz and only on Reta. Started Friday and dropped straight to 7.5mg tirz then on Monday took 2mg Reta. Was going to stay with this mix for 4 weeks then switch to 5mg tirz with 4mg Reta and so on. Interested to read other members journey with dosing up Reta and down tirz and what your journey looked like timeline, dose transitions and if you landed successfully only on Reta.

Probably not as helpful as my doses were lower, but I didn't mess around with schedules or weaning, etc. One week I pinned Tirz and the next Reta. I looked up what dose might be equipotent (tirz to reta) and went for it. Reta has a little longer half-life (6-8 days vs Tirz 5 days) but stayed on Sunday morning pinning schedule. I did fine. This was back in August and I haven't looked back.

What dose of reta did you start on and what are you on now?

How did you estimate the "equivalent" dose for reta? I'm current taking 5mg tirz every Thursday (still my first vial) and planing to make the switch in the next two weeks.
