I've used it in combination with Tirz to lose some visceral fat (body recomp?), just because Reta alone didn't give me the inflammation suppression that Tirz did.
It did seem to work, but it's a bit more like Sema in terms of gastric effects, and I don't really love stacking so I'm back to just the T ma'am.
There's a whole subculture I haven't looked at lately for "ghettoreta". Maybe it's still on /r or somewhere else if you search. That's where I'd look for protocols and such.

I've come up empty on this too. There are plenty of anecdotes of stacking survo (or maz) with tirzepatide to be found (ghetto reta), but very few where it's just survo or maz in isolation.
I personally find survo and maz to be interesting compounds and am disappointed that they don't receive the same love retatrutide gets. It seems unlikely to me that retatrutide is going to be the right ratio of GLP1, GIP, and glucagon agonism for everyone and survo and maz enable different ratios to be played with that are likely more glucagon-heavy. Particularly if one found retatrutide to be fatiguing, it would seem sensible to try one of these other two.

I was thinking of stacking it.

I was excited to stack it. But I got anxious after my first pin and I haven't tried again.

To quote my board-certified internist: "people who stack are crazy." And I started to agree with that the last time I stacked too agressively and wanted to die quietly in a corner.

I stack it and have since 9/8/25. I've been at 7.5 tirz since 8/9/25. I did two weeks of survo at .6 mg; four weeks at 1.2 mgs; 10 weeks at 1.8 mgs, and six weeks at 2 mgs which brings us to today.
I lost 50 lbs between 6/6/25 and 11/11/25 and have been at gw since then.
My rationale for stacking based on zero science whatsoever was that I, for some reason, did not want to increase tirz dosage past 7.5 mg/weekly and wanted to test the ghetto-reta theory to lose those last 12-15lbs to gw. It worked.
I have never had any feelz whatsoever from the survo. None. Zilch. BUT - I greatly appreciate the effect that it DOES have on my metabolism.
Life related to food feels "normal" whatever that is. I distinctly remember looking at attractive food stuffs and just saying "no, you don't need to put that in your mouth" and I just moved on like it was nothing but a normal thing.
I don't have the feelz from tirz anymore either. None.
I just also do not have any struggle with food. It's a sense that I have never had in my 62 years of living. It is very weird. It is very welcome.

LOL, your internist is full of crap!
They're lecturing on stacking peptides (hormone simulators) in your body. Meanwhile, I'm sure your internist is more than happy to "stack" a half-dozen different prescription drugs with the first two treating perceived problems and the other four managing side effects from the first two.

To your point, this is the same doctor who had me raise my tirz dose every week instead of every four weeks. So go figure.
I thought he was cool at the time with his agressive titration schedule, but then he started favoring Zepbound as superior to compounded (for both effectiveness and tolerability), conveniently when the FDA was giving deadlines for compounded.

I ran tirz and survo for 6-8 months with little no no benefit observed personally
I'm at 15 tirz, 2.4 survo stuck in a stall. I thought I felt something at the first 2.4mg dose of survo but it didn't last like I was hoping. I'm going to do one more week of 2.4 and then bump to 3.3 for 4 weeks, then to 4.2 for 4 weeks. At that point if I am still stalled I'm calling it with the survo and going to give Cagri a whirl for a 16 week stack. If that doesn't work I'm going to try switching to every 5 days 15mg Tirz and if that doesn't work I'm going to try reta again (it did not agree with my guts when I tried it about 10 months ago) and if that doesn't work I'm going to just consider myself in maintenance at 15mg tirz weekly. I'd like to lose another 30ish pounds in a perfect world.

There's a whole forum section for survo, did you ask over there?
I honestly love survo. I dont know why its not talked about more.
I hit a stall on Tirz 10mg stacked with Sema 2mg. I needed to loose another 15lbs to get to 12% BF and my body wasnt having it. I first tried cagri and while it did hold my appetite back a bit its results where short lived on me plus i experienced fatigue which I hate. I also barely lost any weight on it. Reta i cant use because I get severe skin sensitivity (itching and scratching all over my legs).
Enter survo. 1mg added did the job and the scale is now going down again. I wont use it for maintenance though but its certainly helping now.

Reta is a third of the cost of survo, per mg.
No stacking necessary. And for people with lots of tirz lying around, they can just as easily stack with reta, assuming sides are fine.
yeah if I could tolerate reta I wouldnt have used survo. Its expensive for sure because demand is currently low. Same for Maz. Point taken.

Yeah, I thought the prices would have gone down more by now.
The ghetto reta TG has 2,500 members, compared to STG with 20,100. In any case, survo and maz are very popular compared to orfo tablets, which are also relatively expensive.

I love me some Survo! When I was 10 or so lbs from my arbitrary goal I capriciously decided to try a mini stack of .8mg survo to my 10mg tirz to accelerate my weightloss. I didn't want to try reta as I already have a higher than normal heart rate. I wanted to see if there was any truth (for me) in the rumors of increased energy/ chub loss when using survo. And yes indeedy there was ! I am an exercise slug and get almost all my physical movement from hiking, gardening and vigorous gossip. Am under goal and when I look down at my gut it looks like I'm holding in my breath( though there is still an apron- veering on loincloth below). Wish it was cheaper though.

Tirz and survo didn’t do much for me. Working up to 15mg of Reta alone now, but the hunger is significant. Think I’ll start adding tirz in a few weeeks
