Why did you choose reta over tirz?

trial results for reta beat tirz on most measures at similar doses: bigger drops in liver fat, visceral and total fat, triglycerides, LDL, hs-CRP, better kidney numbers, lower blood pressure and more weight loss. downsides are higher resting heart rate, higher cost, possibly more sides and less long-term safety data. everything else is about the same. basically i wanted the newer option.

a couple reasons. mainly a friend and his daughter were already using it so i could see real results instead of just reading reports. the added glucagon piece also made it more interesting than tirz. someone might pick tirz simply because it's already widely known with recognizable names, which makes talking about it easier. it can also be simpler with a doctor since tirz is an approved glp-1 while reta still needs more explanation.

same here. my girlfriend was on something from her doctor and while looking into glp effects in general i kept seeing reta mentioned in forums as similar but stronger and only available through research sources. after some digging i ended up here and started reta. results have been good so far.

never heard of either until my oldest brought it up. started reading and my wife and i have had no bad effects even at the higher dose.

switched from tirz to reta hoping for a higher total weight loss percentage. down 33 percent in 41 weeks with a few more percent left to go.

started the same way after a friend mentioned it. watched some videos and decided to try. reta reversed my pre-diabetes and is helping with fatty liver so it fits me well. still plan to switch to tirz eventually.

began with tirz because that was what my doctor offered. now i use both and would be fine on either one alone if the other ran out.

switched after most of the loss happened at 5 mg split and almost no extra progress at 10 mg split. now on 2 mg reta and will try 2 mg plus 1 mg split tomorrow.

above 5 mg i feel tired and down all the time. on reta at 8 mg it's been fine.

was stalling on tirz after about 50 lb loss. kept seeing reta mentioned so looked into it and wanted to restart progress. now stacking. reta doesn't cut food noise much but helps satiety and energy.

went with reta first because of the stronger trial numbers, stayed because sides stayed low, and ended up losing more and faster than the trials reported. couldn't have gone better.

chose reta because of the glucagon receptor activation.

fomo. lost the weight so far on tirz but wanted to try reta. swapped to reta only at 4 mg per week for maintenance. not seeing clear superiority yet after eight weeks and not pushing hard for more loss. hoping for some visceral fat change and will run it at least six months. probably back to tirz long term unless something newer appears. a recent video laid out the differences and when each might fit best. sema came out looking decent for simple long-term maintenance.

honestly i've got four months before moving abroad and want to drop as much as possible quickly. unsure if i can take these along or get more there. ended up here after reading around. week four at 3 mg.

was on wegovy. a buddy called asking if i'd heard of reta and said he was about to try it. he did, liked it, so i tried. eight weeks in and now looking at ordering more.

can't decide between them. started at 1 mg reta per week and metabolic markers improved right away. lipids, a1c and blood pressure all better. switched to 1 mg tirz after three months and markers kept improving. tirz seems to suppress appetite more. with plenty of both on hand i'll probably rotate every three months. both are impressive and at these low doses i've had zero sides.

research pointed to reta being clearly better. appetite suppression wasn't the main goal anyway.
