With the excitement around Reta's phase 3 trial results being shared, I'm sure there are more people now than ever contemplating making the switch from Tirz to Reta. And while I've read quite a few posts from people who are either stacking both with each other or other peps, or switched from...

In one case, about a year. She was using 2mg of semaglutide (brand ozempic) and restarted on brand wegovy, working up to 2.4mg. I'm thinking we are going to need to explore other medications or go higher in dosing, because this level of medication, in her case, is now practically useless for...

I'll be curious to test this for myself as well. I feel less optimistic about the outcome being positive now though. I have recently witnessed family members stop these meds then restart without ever experiencing the same levels of appetite suppression that they once experienced...which is a...

I'm not really at low dose levels yet - I guess 1 -15mg dose every two weeks would be similar to taking 7.5 every week. I think this whole process will be different for everyone. No shame in doing whatever works for you, individually. This is just what I'm doing. I had strong suppression...

Congrats on the weight loss! That's really awesome. It has felt rough at times, but that was even happening randomly when I was taking Tirz every 4-5 days. It just felt like I was going to keep finding a reason to increase the dose or add different meds even near maintenance, ya know? Some...

For anyone who is interested in this thread, I thought I might give a short update. Still very slowly losing fat while increasing strength - down 235lbs/52% overall loss and nearing a normal BMI for the first time in 13 years, while continuing to my lower my tirz dose frequency. I'm on brand...

I appreciate it. 7 months is no joke, good job staying on for that long. I avoided the scale except when I went to my doctor's appointments. That little number is important, but it isn't the the only thing that matters during this process and for how often it refuses to cooperate, I think can...

I was able to hit a high 26 BMI from a starting BMI of 54 or 444.8lbs > 209.8lbs. I think I'd be 200 or so with skin removal on my stomach. I'm super motivated and have been almost the entire 700 days on, but at the same time I feel a bit lucky, because my wife and mom weren't able to continue...

My wife is experiencing this right now and while glp1s helped, it's not quite powering her to the finish line. She's holding steady at 150lbs - 5'3" for a year now after losing 70lbs and if I wasn't witnessing her eating habits now, I wouldn't believe it. It's at a point where I've asked her to...

Honestly, just experimenting. I feel the best with these macros and it doesn't feel like I'm dieting most of the time anymore. Initially, not only was I very low in calories for the first year, I was very low protein, in an attempt to see if it would limit how much loose skin I was going to be...

I hear ya. Luckily, I'm too dumb to even realize anything was off - as it was happening. I only noticed after I started to return to normal and began wanting to do things again. GL with reta. Hopefully it is kinder to you than Tirz was.

Time was the solution in my case. I started at a higher dose of Tirz than most people and felt off for a few months. Those first 3 months felt like I just sat at my office desk or in a recliner and melted. This went away, but anytime I would bump the dose up, I knew I would feel it for a bit...

That's good info! Is he taking it just to control blood sugar or is he after some other effect?

I bet it's tolerance, but it doesn't really matter what word we use to describe it. It's something. I have a feeling that just about everyone will have that early, crazy appetite suppression, regardless of current weight, that I, my wife, and Mom felt with it. From what I felt and what I saw in...
