Is 5mg of Reta not enough?

[rblue120]

I've been taking 15mg of Tirz for a few months and wanted to try stacking it with Reta from ZZT.

I was trying to be cautious and tried 2.5 of Reta and then another 2.5 the next day, but have not really felt any additional effects.

I have a cold right now, but other than that everything else is the same.

Has anyone else experienced this too? I'm aware everyone is different, but has anyone started with 10 mg of Reta right out of the gate?

Why do you want to risk your health like that? If you stop taking tirz and start taking reta on a normal schedule are you that scared of gaining a couple pounds during the transition?

I would just go up to 17.5mg of Tirz or transition completely to another.

Is your heart ok? Jesus man take it easy.

I’m even more concerned because you said you have a cold. I can’t imagine tossing a bunch of Reta down on top of pseudoephedrine or whatever the fuck else is a great idea but you do you just be careful

Or bring down tirz.
Im on 6mg reta and 5mg tirz and 1mg sema weekly.

Reta 3mg twice a week.
Tirz stacked on another day.
Sema for food noise.

Everyone is different, see what works for you.

I say this with love in my heart for you - this is a scary plan.

Reta and tirz are similar medications. Tirzepatide works on GLP1 and GIP receptors, and retatrutide works on those as well. The difference between the two is that reta also works on a third receptor, glucagon. You're not going to see the results you want from this, and you will very likely suffer ill effects. If you are dead set on stacking, adding cagrillintide in place of the reta would be the most reasonable choice, as it affects amylin receptors and wouldn't be redundant.

If I were you, I'd listen to the advice of zppd and/or AndyPanda. Either raise your tirz (slowly and reasonably), or stop tirzepatide and switch to reta. I do not recommend following lullaby's plan. It is... not the best path forward.

All that said, it would benefit you to consider how much weight you have already lost, your current loss rate, and how much more you need to lose. Weight comes off much faster at the beginning of one's journey. After a few weeks or months, it is completely natural and normal for the rate to slow down, or to stall for a bit when you hit a set point. Before going hog wild on all the injections, think about your diet and exercise regiment. Are you being honest with yourself about your calories in vs calories out? Are you tracking calories and weighing your food? If you are, great! If not, start. These meds aren't magic, and the laws of thermodynamics still apply. The meds are just a tool, but you are the craftsman. You have to put in the work, especially after you've been on your journey for a while.

Please be well.

This guy be doing untested stack with thing still in clinical trials, you sure your balls fit in your pants?

The world always need that one crazy brave white rat to experiment the craziest possible combination. It’s unethical to ask for volunteer to do something like that so we should respect them because they voluntarily did it to themselves. I wish you the best and a long life lullaby so you can continue to report your experimentation.

5mg reta is a crazy high starting dose lmao im all for the yolos though, let us know if you bump to 10mg reta and how it goes. Keep track of your heart rate for sure.

Personally, I'd wait on the reta and bump to either 17.5mg tirz or 15mg every 6 days and go from there. Tirz is currently in studies at 20mg and 25mg doses.

If you wanna stack though, idk you should probably bring the reta up at the regular schedule and bring the tirz down to match until you find a good balance but again that's just me

 

[Ymachado]

I can't even lol,

I have had NO side effects with Triz,

tried reta, did ONE(1) mg to start, and I was volatile projectile out of both ends if you take my meaning, 5 mg to start is INSANE, and to be stacking with something else...

Im all for maximizing results and I love stacking but this is just ASKING for a trip to the ER

OP, are you okay? Haven't been back since this post

Good to hear. How's it going?

 

[nccane]

A starting dose of 5mg of reta by itself isn't crazy. The trials had many groups start at 4.

It's the stacking for 5mg of reta in week one on top of the 15mg tirz which is questionable, haha.

Try to figure out what issue you're trying to solve. If it's a stall or that you're hungry, reta isn't the answer

I think the increase might have cause a mild allodynia (skin sensitivity) response, i'm going to cut out the reta for now and just keep the tirz dose.

 

[rblue120]

allodynia could or most likely was from lack of metamucil or fiber
