Reta Not Working / Even After 14mg!

Appreciate the reply. I intended to increase the dose gradually toward 6mg but ended up making an error. The scale reading hasn't shifted in several weeks. I realize I need to monitor my daily intake more carefully too. On the earlier medication I didn't bother tracking that strictly and just made sure to get enough protein while skipping junk snacks.

Fair point. Starting weight on reta was 86 kg current weight before the big dose was 86.2 kg and this morning it was 84 kg but I am putting that down to eating a lot less after the large dose. So I know the high dose can work but it is obviously not a good plan. Also what do you mean viagra will not help me meet women I have clearly been doing it wrong.

You would need to include your tirz weight loss history for a fair comparison. Switching meds does not mean you start over with another full 20 to 30 percent loss on top of what you already dropped. Think of weight loss like a tug of war where the hunger player on your side is not pulling as hard right now but the metabolism player might be making up for it. We all want results exactly as we picture them right away and get upset when it does not happen that way.

That seems contradictory though. Stay on a dose for four weeks like the studies but start at 0.25 to 0.5 mg when the studies actually began at 2 mg and went up to 12 mg. You cannot complain about people ignoring the studies while picking which parts to follow. I titrated faster only because I was already on 7.5 mg of tirz with no sides. My rant over.

I was still losing slowly on tirz before switching to reta. Sometimes I forget I started at 121 kg and got down to 85 or 86 kg on Mounjaro so I am just getting used to slower progress now. I will increase reta gradually and check back in four to six weeks. You are right about wanting everything instantly I blame Amazon Prime.

Did you miss that I said it was just my opinion? I am not attacking anyone. The rant was really about the accidental 14 mg dose. Did you pull from the 10 mg vial instead of the 30 mg or the other way around? How much bac water did you add? Just curious.

I know I am only joking around. It was a real mistake. I had two vials in the fridge one 10 mg and one 30 mg both mixed with 1 ml bac water and I drew from the 30 mg thinking it was the 10 mg. I was worried about what would happen but I got away with just stronger appetite suppression than usual.

Need to get a cheap label maker. No way I could keep track of everything without them. Amazon has a couple of simple models around eighteen dollars. I have two different ones and one is a bit easier to use. Two quick labels in this picture.

I have not heard of anyone needing to go that high to get what felt like fairly mild suppression compared to when I first started tirz over a year ago. People report good results on 2 to 5 mg but my accidental dose was more than double that.

The fact that 14 mg worked does not mean 8 mg will not. You have a history with GLP-1s and it is known that retatrutide does not suppress appetite as strongly as tirzepatide.

That is quite a collection. I am going to get one of those label makers and check out the models you mentioned.

That is almost half. I am not right.

You put the caps back on after reconstituting as well?

I do get caps with some orders but I do not use them. I just wipe the tops with alcohol wipes. I got some round labels so I can mark the vials. Hard to tell what is what without pulling them up a bit. The case has bins that hold quite a few vials and I will almost fill one when the rest arrive. I am not right.
