So I’m curious if anybody else has experienced increased “urges” while taking Reta. I’ve read post that suggest it normally decreases your sexual desires. It is doing the exact opposite, I’m really having a difficult time concentrating on anything else. It’s a bit much and I need to get it under control.

I haven't experienced such a problem yet, but now I perceive that I'm gonna have to buy twice the amount of Reta I had originally planned.

That aside, I did once read about loss of inhibition leading to urges, as a side effect of meds. It only affected women, and it was rare, and they put it down to a neurological dysfunction. I'm not sure, but I think it was Ritalin that was the offending drug. Most of the testimonials were about women who indulged and blamed the consequences on the drug. Two women claimed to have overcome the side effect. One said isolation and lowered dosage while the other did cold turkey on and off with a fortnight waiting period. I don't think it would apply here, but since I ascribe to the hormones-controlling-mind idea, I would actively avoid problematic contexts for a start.

Apparently, the problem is more severe in ADD and ADHD patients and it works on the dopamine pathway. Maybe you want to check on impulse controlling dopamine modulators

That’s really interesting. I’ve never been diagnosed with ADD or HD nor do I take Ritalin. My current stack is Reta Nads and mots c.
 
Seriously, the maturity level on some folks is mindboggling. Wonder how they function as adults.

Anyway,

It's not necessary that you have to be ADHD for this to happen. You may even have to track for triggers, if any. It's the info that this problem is connected to the dopamine malfunction, which is meant to be considered. So, check if any other dopamine triggers would help control the urge- things like that.

I am experiencing something similar🎇🎇
 
Honestly, is it such a bad thing, increased sex drive = more sex, more sex = happy life, weight loss, only thing sexually I have noticed since starting Reta is crazy sexual dreams, Alien sex, robot sex, all kinds of strange stuff, but I suppose it puts a smile on my face when I wake up given I'm single dad and not having to worry what I have said in my sleep😂

I reckon it would be a bad thing if spouse doesn't match libido, and if she spends a lot of time with other people, and when urges arrive in the midst of some important activity. I've had similar issues once, and it's irritating.

Now someone gets it! Although I’m not in a relationship so it’s even more frustrating. I went to the gym this morning very early hoping I’d be the only one there!! NOOO I WAS WRONG 😮‍💨 geezz you know I made it all the way to the treadmill and that was the end. I had to turn my ass around and go home.

Lmao 🤣 I’ve had a few, but mine are more nightmare-ish. I’m on a plane that’s lost both engines over the ocean kinda shit and trying to get it in before I die lol or wake up.
 
I've had something very similar with tirz. I sort of think mine is actually emotional and not physical. I feel young and light and beautiful and compelling, and I'm getting a lot more attention than I used to and have a lot more hope and joy and confidence and self-assuredness; so suddenly the idea of me in sexual or romantic situations feels not just plausible but obvious in a way it didn't when I was fat. And I have ALWAYS been very much a fan of me in sexual or romantic situations, so now it's just turned up to ten.

I'm not actually doing anything about all that for now; I don't actually want to involve myself with a dude while all of this feels so new. Because as excited as I am, if I don't wait for it to settle, I'll just wind up back in another disappointing marriage when all I really want long-term is something(s) part-time and not serious. But I'm delighted nevertheless. Yes I cannot concentrate and I am mildly annoying my (beloved, long-term friends) with my fascination with men, but if the point of being alive is to feel big things, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
 
I haven't heard this, I've heard/read about the opposite accredited to anhedonia/dopamine changes.

Experience wise, I still interested, but I've found myself less willing to put up with bullshit along the path to it. I've had a "buddy" for years, but she's a taxing person to converse with and it looks like I've finally had enough, at least for now.

I made a joke off something from 3 days before, she didn't think it was funny... it's not worth the hassle. I'm more patient now with TRT, but intolerant of drama... irony is TRT isn't bad for the libido.

That was my thinking for the OP, feeling yourself in your new body with new attention moreso than Reta directly affecting libido.

Not on reta, but I have the same issue on tirzepatide.

I've always had hormonal problems though and an increased libido thanks to PCOS but it had mostly calmed down to "normal."

It's very difficult for me to tell what is due to tirzepatide, the weight loss (I went nuts for awhile when I lost 70lbs and ended a whole 7 year relationship the last time), heading toward mid-30s, being off birth control (except I never got the libido killer side effect from it like a lot of women do), but it is frustrating and I feel you 100%.

It's even worse because my boyfriend is 10 years older than me, struggling with low T, high blood pressure, and being overweight and would rather listen to his friend who is a supplement bro vs. actually treating ANYTHING so our sex life is stupid so I'm trying to come to terms with this relationship heading towards the end too, which is a whole vent you did not ask for!

edit cause I mixed people up ignore me lol

I think my favorite thing about you is that you recognize that "I can help lol" would be tired and obnoxious and not funny, but "Put me in coach" is hilarious.

Let's normalize dudes being cheerfully inappropriate in ways that actually make us laugh.

I swear to God, my favorite thing is ending relationships with dudes who aren't it and aren't going to become it. That first six months after you cut the rope and don't have that rock around your neck are so exhilarating. "OH MY GOD I DO NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT SHIT ANYMORE, THAT PROBLEM IS NOT MY PROBLEM!"
