Everything I have read says keep a dose for three or four weeks before going higher because it takes time to accumulate. Begin at 1-2 mg and hold there long enough to judge the effects. If you are still seeing benefits there is no reason to move up yet. What kind of changes did you notice at 1 mg and then at 2 mg? Changing too soon just makes it hard to tell which dose is doing what.

You might be moving a bit quickly, though I agree 3 mg makes more sense than 4 mg right away. Is 2 mg not giving the appetite control you need? Slower titration is usually better.

If the current amount is still working, stay there. No point in raising it further when the present dose is effective. I have been on 2.25 mg twice a week for three months and it continues to do the job.

I began at 1 mg twice weekly and it was fine at first, but hunger returned later so I raised it. My schedule was 2 mg, then 2.5 mg, then 3 mg, then 3.5 mg, then 4 mg, all spaced out over months. I feel okay at the current level and have lost 22 kg so far. After switching vials once the effect seemed weaker for a while, and after trying another compound I am looking at a different one next.

This looks like a very quick escalation to me. I stayed at 2 mg for months and it worked well, so moving up this fast does not seem necessary. If 2 mg is still effective I would not hurry the increase.

Either schedule works. It helps to plot the levels over time to see accumulation. Blood levels keep climbing for four weeks after any increase, which is why waiting that long is recommended. Stepping up 1 mg every two weeks is roughly comparable to 2 mg every four weeks but may bring side effects on more gradually. How far and how fast depends on the total weight loss goal; larger goals usually need higher doses eventually.

Is this about reta? I moved slowly from 0.5 to 2 mg with no issues. Then I got overconfident and jumped to 4 mg and it hit hard. Just one experience.

What is the hurry? The medication needs weeks to build up, and the four-week schedule is meant to keep side effects down. It is better to get comfortable with one compound before adding others. Treat the body with care instead of rushing everything at once.

I think one particular user has the most experience with faster increases if that is what you want to try.

Do not rush toward the highest dose. Stretch out the climb as long as possible. Only increase when progress stalls or effects weaken and side effects are minimal. I would not go up more than 0.5-1 mg at a time and then hold there.

My schedule so far has been 0.5 mg for one week, 1 mg for three weeks, 1.5 mg for three weeks, and I just took 2 mg this week.

Since I am new I plan to start at 1 mg and stay there for several weeks to check tolerance. The product should arrive mid-week and I will begin that weekend.

This feels excessively rapid to me. Why the hurry in the first place? I prefer beginning with a smaller amount and increasing little by little. Otherwise it could leave someone feeling unwell nonstop and unable to consume anything.

How do people arrive at these numbers? The post feels like it came from reddit. It is surprising how little effort some put in even when injecting research compounds.

You have to give the medication time. Plotting levels shows how it builds over weeks. I started another compound at a very low weekly amount and increased by tiny steps until reaching a moderate dose with steady appetite control. Same approach with reta: go up 1 mg a month. It took over two years but I am down 110 lb and now on a maintenance dose.

Being impatient I tried to move up too quickly and it hit hard, so I dropped back to 2 mg and am only now getting over the side effects. Do not copy me; go slow and steady.

What we need around here is some Geritol version. The younger ones are asking what that is.
