GLP-1 Apprentice
Love Cagri too. Started low and slow . Presently take 2 mg weekly without fatigue . Always felt energy with it. Does dry my mouth more.
This comment gives me hope. How long did it take you to titrate up to 2mg? Considering jumping up to 2mg, if I feel nothing at 1mg.Love Cagri too. Started low and slow . Presently take 2 mg weekly without fatigue . Always felt energy with it. Does dry my mouth more.
I had the same exact experience - crazy, uncontrollable hunger on reta.Before that the hunger was crazy with Reta.
How much cagri are you currently on? Still 250mcg?Now I titrated Tirz down to 7.5 mg and Reta up to 4mg and Cagri since two weeks.
How about you try this? Stack cagri, reta, and tirz. And pin those on separate days, for example. Start one on Monday, then pin another one on Wednesday, and then another one on Friday, so you're covered for the week. Try this experiment because all of them are slightly different, right? cagri is a completely different pathway. reta gets all three receptors. And tirz gets the same receptors as reta, but it has more of an appetite suppression effect, so you're getting all benefits and you're covering all your bases.I injected 0.75 mg and I’m honestly not sure if it’s doing much for me. I keep going back and forth on how I feel about cagri, but ultimately it’s not giving me the appetite suppression or food-noise reduction I was hoping for.
I previously stacked cagri with reta once and felt very ill, but without any additional appetite suppression, so I ended up quitting both reta and cagri cold turkey. It’s been a few weeks now, and I’ve started fresh again, but I’m still not sure why this isn’t hitting me harder.
I wish there were more anecdotes from outliers like me who seem to need higher doses even from the beginning. Should I just pin 1mg or even 2mg?

Edit : pinned 1.5mg. Still feel nothing!
Thank you so much for the suggestion, but I was on reta at 8 mg/week for six months with no weight loss and a lot of side effects, including extreme hunger.How about you try this?

Yes! Now that you mention it, this is why it was such a chore to eat, the suppression + a dry mouth. Everything was cardboard.Love Cagri too. Started low and slow . Presently take 2 mg weekly without fatigue . Always felt energy with it. Does dry my mouth more.
Yes! Now it is working so good, that I will stay on Saturday at 250mcgI had the same exact experience - crazy, uncontrollable hunger on reta.

What day do you pin the reta?Yes! Now it is working so good, that I will stay on Saturday at 250mcg
Wow, I can't believe you had extreme hunger on reta at 8 mg per week. For me right now, I'm on cagri + reta, super low dose for both 1 mg reta and 266 mcg cagri. I think I wanna add tirz as well, 1 mg of that. What I've noticed from my experiences, GLP-1s in addition with cagri, provides like a synergistic effect and they complement each other, but that doesn't seem to work for you, which is kind of odd. Hopefully, your new cagri dosage works and you don't get too many side effects because cagri is pretty strong. I dont think im ever gonna increase my dosages for both reta and cagri cause im not getting any sides.Thank you so much for the suggestion, but I was on reta at 8 mg/week for six months with no weight loss and a lot of side effects, including extreme hunger.
Because of that, I’ve quit reta and don’t really plan on going on another GLP-1 right now. That’s why I’m trying cagri alone, and I’m also waiting for elora to arrive. I'm going to go ahead and pin 500mcg on top of the 1.5mg and see how that goes!
Yeah, you wanna watch out for those side effects. If you combine reta with cagri, those gastrointestinal effects combine and accumulate to an even higher intensity. So if you are planning to take cagri, you may wanna lower your reta dosage.The wife just started cag last Thursday at .25mgs. She pairs it with 8mg of reta and she pins that on Mondays. I do a 4 mg reta pin on Monday and thought about starting the cag this Friday at .25mg but I am a little afraid of the potential exhaustion. I want less food noise but I also want to be able to get my protein in. I keep going back and forth, take it, don't take it. I have tried increasing my reta dosage to 6mg and the intestinal side effects got me pretty good.
definitely not my experience with reta and cagri, because I can still eat and there's really good suppression but i get full super fast. The only thing I have is a dry mouth, and I'm drinking water basically every two seconds, yet it stays dry. But I've been doing this for a while now, so I got used to it, and it is what it is.Yes!
