What dose of reta are you at?

[Mc_ppka_tp]

I am on week 20 of using Reta and I'm at 7.5mg (-ish).

I started at 2.5mg and progressed to 5mg after 4 weeks and then to my current dosage of 7.5mg after another 4 weeks. I wish I'd slowed down my dosage titration a bit as I was having success at the lower dosages. With that, I've decided to stay at this dosage until I hit a major plateau/stall point in my weight loss.

Just finished the 4th 4mg pin Friday. I think I'll jump to 5mg next Friday after jumping on the scale this morning, only lost a pound, but no big deal. There's been no issues with the 4mg pins.

3rd pin yesterday, did 1.5mg. I did 1 and 1.25 for my first two pins. Each done Sunday evening. No major side effects outside of nausea the very first Monday.

I know everyone is different but I read a lot of posts where people start at low doses and don't need to titrate up that high of a dose.

I'm curious as to if people go all the way up to 12mg like in the clinical trials, if if they have reaped most benefits at lower doses.

So my question is:

How long have you been taking Reta for?

Where along are you in your journey?

What is your current dosage?

My research lab rat has been taking Reta for about 5 months, and is currently using 5mg every third day. It is more than half way through its journey.

I'm sticking with 4mg for at least two more weeks. I jumped on the scale right out of bed this morning at 5, and after a pee and had a total drop of 3 pounds since last weeks weigh in. I know what happened yesterday. I didn't weigh myself right away, and had two coffees, a big glass of water and was fully dressed. Seems to be a pretty close to a constant 3lbs a week. I'm down 22lbs since 1/6.

I'm at 2.5mg every 5 days. At maintenance weight and metabolic blood markers and planning on switching to Tirz as Reta, even at this low dose, has jacked my resting heart rate 10-12BPM which I don't like nor think is healthy long term.

I've been on reta for >3 years, but I try to stay around the same weight, and I'm at 2.5mg a week maintenance. I could drop it probably, but gives me some safeguards, especially when I bulk for physique changes.

I am 3 weeks and 2 days in. 2mg each week will increase to 4mg next week for 4 weeks and so on. SO far I dropped from 164lbs to 151lbs

It must affect people different ways. Mines be running 72, which is normal for me. I'm anywhere from 54 to 74 BPM sleeping.

Just moved up to 6mg week, very little sides so far, just ordered a bunch of labs.

 

[SITHRE]

I've been taking it for 4 months now, down 25 pounds. I'm at 1.6mg but going to up my dosage next week. I felt the effects even at a really low dose though, I'm super sensitive to meds

Started Nov30,2025 at 1mg. Did nothing or i was just too impatient. Bumped it to 2mg for about 3 weeks. Bumped it to 2.5mg for 2 more weeks. Then to 3mg for 5 weeks. Then to 4mg in February and I have no intentions of moving up. The only reason I went to 4mg from 3,g was that I heard someone say that the full effects were not effective until you hit 4mg. So, I am going to stay here for quite a while.

I am 55yo and started at 275lbs. I weighed 224 this morning. Have had lab work done periodically through the VA and typically my cholesterol was high where it shouldn't be (they wanted me on meds but I refused to take them) and low where it should be high. A1C was off. I was generally unhealthy. Just had labs done and every marker is great. This has changed my life.

First 4 weeks I was at .5 weeks 5-7 I'm at .75. I have lost a total of 11 pounds at this point. Very minimal side effects. Slow and steady. For reference started at 219.

 

[DunningKruger]

Weeks 1 - 5: 2mg

Weeks 6 - 7: 1mg (to test hunger signalling + loss rate. Still steady, but slower rate with more hunger signalling.)

Weeks 8 - 9: 2mg

I'm a couple pounds from goal, so Reta will drop to 1mg again for 2 weeks, then .5mg for 2 weeks, then .25mg for 2 weeks.

Once complete, I will likely test pinning .1mg 1-2x per week to finish the vial, and take the edge off of hunger if I find it bothersome.

For reference: 17 lb loss in 9 weeks, with muscle sparring (and even gain).

 

[DazDillinger]

Probably too much lol

 

[SDYlabs 40968]

Starting week 4 Monday. .5 twice a week. Down 4lbs. No side effects. Looking forward to increasing the weekly dose.

I’m leveling off at 7mg/week after starting my bridge from Tirz on 1/10.

What app are you using? It looks like Shotsy but not the free version?

 

[woundcarping]

Yep

 

[nitrohyper]

Just took 2mg of Reta for the first time today, I’m going to do 2mg for the next 3 weeks then next month go up to 4mg/wk to see how it goes.

 

[OregonSunshine]

I was on Tirz for about 6 months. I had gotten up to about 6mg once per week. I took a few weeks off to allow my digestive system to finally get back to regular. Then I went to 2 mg for the first week and 3mg for the 2nd week. I'll probably stay at 3mg for another week or two and then go to 4 mg for a month then to 6mg depending on how I tolerate it.
