Reta anyone splitting their weekly dosages?

[woundcarping]

Hold up. I think I get this. My trough days are effective. I get that split elevates trough. I can go down to 3mg from 4mg but maybe be therapeutically closer to 4mg by splitting?

Roughly, yes.

If the trough of 4mg once a week is effective, the trough of 3mg split may be high enough to accomplish the same effectiveness with less average exposure and lower peaks.

Thanks. I do want sleep. Gonna try the 3mg split.

Yes wife and I split our doses out to 2X a week and it has worked tremendously for us since we started our journey with Reta.

My sleep is currently struggling with my aggressive dosing, but you’ll have that on them big jobs.

Do you track your sleep? I bought an Oura Ring a couple months back specifically for sleep tracking more comfortably than my watch.

I don't currently. Moving to 4mg RT was the first noticeable difference in sleep in years. Awake 3:50am like clockwork.

I am trying reta after a good run with tirz. I tried reta for about a month when I first started, but I think I started too high for me (2mg) and found the elevated heart rate uncomfortable.
Now on this second go at it, I am starting low and splitting my dose Tuesday and Friday nights. I don't want a repeat of the last run, so I'm liking the smaller amounts at a time.

Can you explain your elevated heart rate a bit more? I noticed about 8-10 bmp increase at 2 mg and not about 12 on 4mg. I’m not noticing any negative side effects but am definitely concerned that my resting heart rate is now around 80-82.

Mines about 4 BPM more and sleeping it's 53-55.

Just adding that a split dose 2x per week has been working great for me. I'm still at 3mg on Sundays and Thursdays (6mg week total), it's more than enough for the desired effect. I only notice elevated HR during cardio.

yes it evens out the amount in system over time, keeping a higher more even level
smaller spikes and valleys.
