Alternate Reta and Tirz?

[Love2Garden59]

I have been slowly adding Reta with reducing Tirz (from 15mg) for the last 10 weeks. Weight was stalling - losing the same few lbs over and over.

Last Wed evening was my 6mg Reta shot, no Tirz. Thursday morning energy level was low and I struggled through my workout. Come evening I had really bad itchies all over. Not sure if I can attribute that to the Reta or the fact that I did a lot of laundry all day which included a few woolen blankets. Took an antihistamine when I could not tolerate it any more and fatigue on Friday was unbearable. I went to bed that evening around 7 pm and only woke up Fri morning at 7:30 am. A first for me. I was fine with my energy levels all day. I thought I might need to take Tirz yesterday, but my energy level was great. I lifted weights for an hour, plus did some cardio so did not take any Tirz. I am fine today also. Will see what happens with my next dose of Reta.

OTOH I have a lot of Tirzepatide which I want to use up. Wondering if I should alternate Reta/Tirz until I finish and then switch to all Reta?

Does anyone alternate Reta & Tirz?

- Stalled Aug/Sep/Oct - I had a stall on 10mg Tirz/week (Monday)
- Added Nov/Dec 2mg Reta (Thursday).... dropped weight from 174 (looked fit) to 160 (lean male)...

(no known side effects) - all my early minor side effects (burps) I had in the initial weight loss on Tirz seemed to have subsided

January ... Reduced Tirz 5mg (Sun) / Reta 2mg (Thur)... and I seem to be maintaining okay...

I may keep this routine and see how it goes...

If I drop to fight club fit at 155 lbs, I will try a different regime...
do Tirz 1x / 2 weeks and Reta 1x / 2 weeks in alternative weeks or some variation in between. I am truly experimenting and see what works for me....

I will look to add more muscle and use testosterone at some point in spring and may back off on GLP-1s during the building phase.

Thanks for responding. Last Wed was 6mg Reta, no Tirz. The carb craving was crazy. Haven't binged like that in a long time. Y Since adding Reta and reducing Tirz, I have only lost 8 lbs in 11 weeks. I was steadily losing 1lb/week with Tirz alone. esterday was shot day. I decided to up my Tirz to 20mg this week. Will do this for 4 weeks and see if there's any difference.

I wouldn't alternate. Stick to the one that is working the best and just keep a minimum dose of the other, if it's tirz then 2.5mg-5mg or less.
