I want to start a discussion about starting dose on Reta and hear some real experiences from others.
I started very cautiously:
0.5 mg for 2 weeks
then 1 mg for another 2 weeks
during the second week at 1 mg, I split the week in half and pinned another 1 mg
So now I’m doing:
1 mg every Tuesday morning 6 am
1 mg every Friday evening 6 pm
Honestly, only now do I feel like I’ve reached the right dose for me. Before that, I could barely even say I felt anything, except maybe some mild effect about an hour after injection.
The reason I approached it this way is because I read a lot of reports from rats that jumped straight to 2 mg and regretted it because of sides. But now I’m really wondering if starting lower than 2 mg actually makes sense in practice for adaptation, or if many people simply delay getting meaningful effects.
My weight literally did not move until I reached a total of 2 mg/week. I should also mention that I’m already fit and not massively overweight, so maybe that changes things compared to people with a lot more body fat to lose.
What were your experiences with starting doses?
Do you think the slow titration below 2 mg really helps the body adapt, or is it often unnecessary for people who tolerate it well?
Interested to hear different perspectives. Thank you for considering.
