Hey guys, little context.
Last year I used Mounjaro for 8 months. I started at 1 mg for one month, then 2.5 mg the second month, 5 mg for four months, 7.5 mg for one month and 10 mg for two weeks. I lost 30 kg. I never had the dramatic hunger suppression people talk about, but it made it much easier to say no, especially in the evenings.
I have been off for about a month and a half and recently started retatrutide.
I originally wanted 30 mg because of a New Year deal, but that was sold out so I received 40 mg instead. I first added 2 ml bacteriostatic water to the vial, drew out 1 mg, filtered it into a pen cartridge, then added another 2 ml of bac water through a filter into the same cartridge. So in total that should be 20 mg in 3 ml. During priming and some leaking I seem to have lost almost 1 ml, but the concentration should still be the same.
To start cautiously, I took 0.5 mg on Monday. On Wednesday I added another 0.5 mg. The next Monday I took 1 mg because I felt nothing, and that Wednesday I added another 1 mg.
Instead of reducing my hunger, it is making it worse. I have not been this hungry in a long time. I keep eating. Even after a balanced dinner with protein, rice and vegetables, I go straight to the fridge and eat more. I am suddenly craving sugary drinks and candy, which I normally do not even like.
Is this normal when starting retatrutide?
Only taking reta atm.
