Am finally on 3mg Eloranlintide

What about trying Reta?

My doctor doesn't know this either but I'm using reta too. Current approach is 8mg tirz and 8mg reta every four days. Still losing weight though slower now. Also interested in Elora but not rushing into it.

Doubt you'll need to max out in maintenance. If you increase from a low dose it will probably be gradual. I have a strong eating disorder and family history of obesity. Lost 117 pounds last year but progress has slowed with about 20 more to go. If 4mg is working stay there. If not after a couple weeks you might try 5mg and that could hold for a long time.

117 in a year is great. Thanks for the reassurance. I was starting to worry about food noise returning. My weight loss comes directly from my brain no longer demanding those little snack cakes.

Reta just doesn't work for me for some reason. Same with Tirz which faded out slowly. I kept raising the Tirz dose with no results. Going solo on Eloralintide and also adding 10u of Sema since I have some left.

Exactly the same here. If I can ignore those tasty cakes it's working. If I start dipping into the frosting with real craving then it's time to increase the dose.

My birthday arrives in just a couple days and that's occupying all my attention at the moment. I strayed from the subject and want to say I'm sorry for that. Getting back on track, update me regarding the food noise.

That's normal since she's under pressure from anti-Grey messaging and there were many overdoses involving official pens last year. She probably cares. A small dose increase like that isn't a big issue given how half-lives vary.

Reta and Tirz never worked for me even after ten weeks each. Planning to add Cagri to Reta and hoping it cuts food noise. If not I'll look more into Eloralintide. Please keep us updated on your results with it.

I have to wonder what kind of doctor sees a real difference between 15 and 16. They must have taken some math. Maybe she's just protecting herself.

Thanks for sharing. I had the same experience with reta up to 8mg for six months with no benefit and sometimes worse results. Kept going because of family history of diabetes and dementia. Tried cagri up to 2mg with nothing so stopped everything. Have tirz and elora coming but also looking at tesofensine. Curious if other non-responders had success with teso or something else.

I get it especially for a general practitioner rather than an obesity specialist since studies only confirmed 15mg as safe. Still the push to drop from 16 back to 15 should have come with more explanation. Higher dose trials are ongoing and semaglutide was approved at 7.2mg so one extra milligram over 15 really isn't much.

It's been discouraging but hearing from other non-responders helps. Spent a lot on testing thinking the product might be bad but it was just me. Will look into Teso and Elora. Hope you find the right approach soon.

Yes that's an important distinction. Easy to tell which one: if you're gaining weight fast then it really stopped working. If weight is just stalling then the body has adapted and the drug is still preventing regain. Studies on eloralintide show it can restart loss after a tirz stall. The phase 3 trial is looking at exactly this situation.

Others have said similar. Down 107 pounds and not gaining means the tirz is still working even if it feels like it stopped. After a year it's normal to hit a true stall where the drug only fights regain. That much loss drops metabolic rate and raises hunger making further deficit harder. Stopping tirz entirely seems like the wrong move.

I'd feel like a supermodel at 220 pounds at 6'4". Only three months into tirz and now looking at reta. Will wait for Elora to get cheaper since currently unemployed.

At six four and two hundred seven pounds I really don't picture myself as any kind of model at all. I had aimed for two hundred five at first but shifted the target down to one hundred ninety nine point nine. Reaching that might help me see my physique more kindly.

About ten years ago I got down to 260 and almost had abs. Who knows how things look now at 48.
