Can someone explain how reta feels compared to tirz?

[clayd]

I'm on tirz, I like it, I'm not thinking of switching. But I keep seeing that reta has better clinical trial results, and has a third mechanism of action. But I also see people say it doesn't have great appetite suppression compared to tirz or sema.

If it's not suppressing appetite, what is it doing to make you eat less and lose weight? How does it feel? Especially compared to tirz if you've tried both

Absolutely no suppression from 2mg or 4mg Reta. I was on 7.5mg Tirz then decided to stack with reta as a last push for the last 15lbs.

Idk what or how Reta does it, but those last 15lbs FELL OFF. I was dosing Tirz every 5 days, reta 2 days after Tirz.

I think if you don't struggle with overthinking about food, reta might be a solid single choice for you. But if you do, it's a good option to stack with a good suppression.

If your looking for something different then Tirz, Survo is a great place to start too

For me, Reta has stronger appetite suppression than Tirz. It also seems to punish me if I do eat, making me immediately regret my choices. I don’t get nauseous or anything. I just feel disgusting after I eat more than absolutely necessary, so I focus on my protein intake and more nutrient dense food. It makes me not enjoy eating like I used to.

Less fatigue with Reta than Tirz as well. I have never tried Sema, so nothing for me to compare it to.

I dropped 5mg of T and went to 2mg of R for 3 weeks now. Haven't lost any weight in that time, and I'm eating a little more than I was before. Moving up to 4mg soon though.

I tried both Sema and tirz-had severe gout and stomach cramps from both. Literally gout every 2 weeks vs 1-2 times per year prior. With Reta I have good appetite suppression, no breakfast, healthy smoothie for lunch and normal dinner. Side effects- some insomnia 2x per week. Normal slow digestion- energy levels have been high. Down 21 from 243 starting weight in six weeks. Currently on 2mg grey market Reta.

I️ really like tirz, but thought I’d switch to Reta for the last 15 pounds to goal weight. Reta does not like me if I️ do not eat at least three times a day. However, Reta likes those three times to be very small meals. I️ frequently feel overfull. With tirz I️ felt great after I️ ate. I️ am less tired on Reta and I️ have started to go to the gym. I️ am only two doses in at 2mg, so I️ will keep going to be able to make an informed decision about Reta. I️ did lose five pounds the first week but up and down a pound the second. My gut instinct is that I️ will return to tirz at some point. I️ was only at 5mg tirz when I️ switched with a 30lb weight loss over 3 months. Reta doesn’t cancel the food noise but it does really manage portion control. I️ hope this helps.

Was on 15mg Tirz since 10/9. Have been losing the same few lbs for the last 4 weeks. Decided to split the Tirz and add some Reta. Just took 1mg reta with 9mg Tirz on Wed. Let's see what happens.

I was planning to be on Tirz for life…until I tried Reta. With Tirz I dropped weight quickly. Food noise faded away and back pain (severe degenerative disc disease) vanished. But I woke up with daily headaches (albeit helped with Tylenol), constipation (despite triple doses of Metamucil) and the fatigue was pretty debilitating.
Reta—now that I’m on 5 mg—gives me most of the benefits of Tirz, with none of the drawbacks. Headache-free. No back pain. And while I have some food noise, I find that it serves me well now that I’m trying to maintain.
I kind of regret my last big Tirz purchase. It’s going to be Reta from me from here on.
