不确定你现在服用的剂量是多少。至少对我来说,剂量增加后症状会加重。我一开始是6毫克,后来增加到8毫克。另一个症状是烧心,我只有在注射当天晚上睡觉前偶尔会烧心。刚开始服用的时候,我每晚都会烧心。bgddy32 said:睡眠方面也有所改善,所以我想这或许也是我可以期待的事情之一。
每周分两次服用2毫克,一个月后所有副作用都消失了,这让我非常惊讶……肠道功能也恢复正常了,昨晚睡了7个小时,一个月以来第一次。BNLFL said:不确定你现在服用的剂量是多少。至少对我来说,剂量增加后症状会加重。我一开始是6毫克,后来增加到8毫克。另一个症状是烧心,我只有在注射当天晚上睡觉前偶尔会烧心。刚开始服用的时候,我每晚都会烧心。

So you noticed symptoms settling before titrating but did you titrate because the symptoms stopped and the effects from reta were slowing down?Pete369 said:GI issues settled after the first couple of weeks. Was a lot of ‘bowel clenching’ as if I had to have a BM but not much to work with and was only at 1mg split into two doses.
Titrating up to 4mg split in the second month I dealt with a lot of fatigue, likely from the reduced caloric intake but still keeping up my gym schedule.
Anhedonia settled in at 6mg and again, very noticeable back half of month two and through month 3. This was also where I noticed skin sensitivity.
Up to 8mg a week now in month 4. Energy has stabilized and the anhedonia is a fraction of what it was, skin sensitivity has increased. It’s not painful really but it is irritating, especially around waist where pants sit and my shirt ‘rubs’ my back.

Then you're flipping lucky. We were on 4mg for 6 weeks, and that feeling just went flat. 6mg for 6 weeks, not much action towards the end of 6mg. Now 8mg is another story, I still feel totally full all the time. Appetite sucks, sleep sucks, but the heartburn has basically stopped. On 8 for 4 weeks and plan to stay here till I hit goal, about 10lbs more. Then I'll figure a maintenance dose.bgddy32 said:2mg split dosed weekly, I'm really shocked at exactly one month in all my side effects have stopped... bowels back to normal , last night got 7 hours for first time in a month..
I really wonder if reduction in side effects is accompanied by reduced effectiveness of the reta as in you dont feel the appetite suppression (fuller earlier) feeling and food noise thing. I really want to know this as I dont want to go past 4mg and want to stay at 2mg as long as possible
Both, the GI distress stopped and the next week the evening food noise came back pretty loud. I also went from 1mg, 2mg, 3mg, 4mg, 5mg, 6mg, 7mg, 8mg weekly with split dosing, didn’t just double like standard protocol. The above thresholds were just where I noticed the main side effects sitting in or dissipating. Only increased when I found myself craving food late at night despite a protein shake or something light.bgddy32 said:So you noticed symptoms settling before titrating but did you titrate because the symptoms stopped and the effects from reta were slowing down?
Ah okay seems like this is standard then 4 week cycles before your body adjusts before you slam it with more... damn i was looking forward to how i feel now lolPete369 said:Both, the GI distress stopped and the next week the evening food noise came back pretty loud.

I’ve read plenty of anecdotal experiences where people don’t feel the need to move past 2-4mg. I was already down from 295 to 235 though when I started and have been bouncing between 215 and 235 between summer and winter for the last two years. Already cut out most processed foods, wife has celiac and corn allergy so we eat mainly protein and veg, don’t snack on sweets much, have been consistent in the gym for 5 years and carry a good amount of muscle. I’m sure there’s a lot of factors at play on individual response and how much you’re restricting vs body’s energy demands.bgddy32 said:Ah okay seems like this is standard then 4 week cycles before your body adjusts before you slam it with more... damn i was looking forward to how i feel now lol
I feel that mine lasted 3 weeks lolMochizuki0124 said:Bloating was bad for like a week or 2. I also learned real quick that my lactose intolerance is like 3x worst.
