Tirz experience = Reta experience?

[Speedy 24430]

There is no "brand name" Reta yet . . .

Brand name Tirz., grey Tirz and grey Reta.

Sorry, though it was clear what I meant, but apparently it needed to be clearly written out.

interesting - Im usually lowish BP - like 100-110/60. I wonder if reta would make that lower, never heard of that happening

Mine is normally 90/60. On Reta it was 80/40 when I was feeling good. Didn’t test when I was symptomatic so not sure how low it went.

Still a newbie. 15 min delay.

It was the comma after name and before tirz and Reta. It caused both of those now to be a grouping and the “brand name” to refer to both of them. I’m not trying to be pedantic so much as simply clarifying from where the confusion came. This specifically is not a case so much but we are dealing with injectable substances and clarity quite often matters. All’s well

So lack of the Oxford comma strikes again.

Zepbound 12.5mg was a wild ride for me. Every time I ate complex carbohydrates like rice, pasta, bread, I got an impossibly powerful drowsiness.

GLP1 drugs and weight loss in general typically reduce blood pressure.

And for some folks BP Meds as well yeah!

Hilarious! I didn’t realize you meant three different substances. I thought you’d just unnecessarily used the comma at all in describing just two. Yes the Oxford comma would’ve bailed that out. Good one

Zepbound was only an idea when I was on Reta.

I have a similar BP and Reta has not impacted my BP. Just raised my heart rate

Everyone is different.

I'd say that's pretty normal. Affecting heart rate (and HRV) is pretty common with reta.

I wasn't aware of any blood pressure effects until recently, even though I've known about HR/HRV effects for a while. Not too many people's bp seems to be impacted. My BP has gotten too low, so when someone mentioned reta can lower it, I paid attention.
