RETA just moved up 12 MG

[Main75]

OCT 4 started Reta at .5 titrated at about .5 every week or two and just hit 12mg, and no i do not believe its a race to the top.

Initially, fast weight loss , low food noise with side effects of lots of peeing at times and some hard stool. started at 308 and got down to 280 by christmas...That said around Christmas bad diet for about a week and popped up 8 pounds and now 6 weeks later i have just gotten back to the 280 mark... definitely flat lined loss while increasing from 6mg at christmas to 12mg this week lost about 6-7 since i had my flatlined "scale" progress. Diet had been good with about a day a week that i "cheat a little" and no noticeable side effects outside of 2 beers/wine not making you feel that great. Body composition seems slightly improved since "scale " flatline. Food noise in reduced but not gone like at the start even as dose increased. So that the backgroundstarted 308.. target of 250 currently 280 in 4.5 months.

I have read the trials, does anyone else have a similar experience?

Pro and con for increased dosage above 12MG ?

I'm at 10 mg now, after 5 months, and noticed a bit of food noise coming in towards the end of the week before pin day. Never had any since the start, but I assume my body is better at adjusting to the dosage. If it gets worse, I might add some Cagri at a low dosage and see if that helps. I'm also down 55 lbs and these last 15 lbs seems to be the hardest.

Seven more Phase III trials are planned, which will use various doses, including those above 12 mg, but I'm not sure where they stand currently.

Im on 10mg every 6 days and added 1mg sema which helps. I started tracking my calories cuz i thought i was at 1500-1800 a day but forgot to add a powerade and slim jim added almost 500 calories and then 2 dark beers and 2 double shots of bourbon added another 700 plus.... i didnt get why i lost 21lbs and then nothing, now i see why.... 2700 calories.

God I really want a Powerade, a slim Jim, two dark beers, and two double shots of bourbon right now.

I think 12mg would kill me. I'm 4mos in and only on 3mg and pretty much have zero interest in food and still get random waves of nausea.

mixed drink seems to be tolerated way better then beer/wine on Reta

Bummer, i never had any nausea except when really earned by pretending i was not on Reta and tried having a full screw off night or rather (s) lol

Some of us get nothing from baby doses. Ive always started in the middle and titrate up quickly. Dentist usually has to double up the dose or i writhe in pain and painkillers never worked well.... started sema at 1mg, tirz at 8mg and reta at 5mg. Not the best responder.

started quick but definitely has not continued, just ordered new batch from ERP to see if it was the batch....because it was the same time i finished my first Prime Peptide order and got JEEP for current.... maybe they forgot to add the ginger tears in to that last batch

Jeep should be solid, group testing on a bunch of products was stellar.

price sucked me in on ERP 60mg …but dosage seems 10% inconsistent . Fingers crossed

Wine sucks the next day. Worst hangover but the fastest recovery.

 

[Sid the SeaGull]

Since starting Reta , I've moved away from strong beers such as 8% iPA's to Gin and soda. Far fewer calories, I can moderate the alcohol to suit the occasion, and I'm enjoying discovering the many flavours of Gin

 

[GLP1Pharmacist]

Alcohol, anything beyond 2 drinks had RS blood sugar drop way too low.

 

[JFinHK]

Oh, wow. First time I hear about someone titrating so fast/high. I guess I am lucky still being on 2.5mg (reta) after 10months. Lost 16-17kg.

I'm almost good enough to play WITH someone. I think maybe another month, and I'll be able to jam. I did Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors" for my last mini-recital, and I'm working on a Regina Spektor song for next week.

I just started at .5mg and can't even imagine 12mg! I don't have an issue with food noise in general so I hope it is working and will check the scale next week.
