anyone else thirsty on reta?

[tendency]

I'm up to 3mg/week after titrating up from 1mg/week 6 weeks ago. I've noticed with each dose increase an significant increase in my thirst - anyone else? Alot more thirst than prior to this GLP.

I wasn’t particularly thirsty but I didn’t drink enough water when I titrated too quickly at one point and became dehydrated (according to my scale) and just how I felt.

Just started week 3. I felt so dehydrated these last few days water would not help. Went to Walmart this morning and bought a bunch of gatorade I feel alot better now

No I feel the opposite, I have to remember to drink. :-(

GLP medications generally reduce thirst. I have seen scientific papers mention it. I used to drink too much fluid, about 8 litres a day , which dropped in half from semaglutide and is the same on tirzepatide 15mg plus 4mg of reta.
It might be worth getting your blood sugar checked.

I find I must regularly keep up with my electrolytes otherwise symptoms of dehydration surface- headaches, dizziness, restless leg shakes, even darker urine.

Came here just to confirm haha. Just took first dose and thought I was oddly very thirsty all day lol

I feel the same way after 2 weeks-Thirsty but hydrating plenty.

I have doubled the amount of water intake since starting Reta. This however diluted/washed out some of the electrolytes the body needs. My sodium dropped to dangerous levels. I now limit the amount of water at a cost of very dry mouth… but it seems to be working.
Also, this became a bigger problem with higher doses, eating less was not helping the situation… lowering the dose may help 🙂
