Is titrating up too fast unsafe?

[Builderman]

What are the risks of titrating up too fast on reta? I’m a big guy with super severe craving. My first week I pinned 1mg. Second week I did 2mg. Aside from one day feeling more full than normal, I have not had any real effects - good or bad.

What risks am I running if I were too inject 3mg for my third shot? Am I being too impatient and just need to give the drug time to work?

I’m sure others more qualified will weigh in - but I see risk of the side effects hitting harder. Fatigue, nausea some stomach cramping even with bowel motility.
Personally started slow at 0.5 - then 1 for a couple weeks, split over 2 doses. Must have taken 8 weeks to get up to 3mg weekly total. I never had any side effects but wasn’t in a rush.
Choice to split was to avoid or mitigate chance of side effects and take it slower. Worked for me and still does do I’ve kept at this.

Starting out below trial dosing with your description is the definition of retarded.

If you have no GLP experience I’d use some caution.


Frequent small doses are better than weekly big bumps you have to ride out for longer.

The medicine has to build. You should stay at 2mg for 30 days. This is not cocaine.

Fwiw, I've had a telehealth "weight loss coach" for Tirz suggest taking an intro dose for 4 weeks, tracking your weight, and if no results in that time, move up to the next dosing size. Continue that process until you see results, and only move up the dose when progress stalls for two weeks straight.

I'm sure others have different methods, but that has worked well for me (and can't see why it would be different for reta)

What do you mean starting below trial dosing? From my understand trials started at either 1mg or 2mg. Which is where I am.

I believe Phase 3 starts at 2mg for the first 4 weeks. You should build up for a month before increasing to 4mg.

Don't worry about the carp. If I was to get some mystery shit in the mail, that was supposed to be X (in your case reta). 1mg in .5ml bac, would be(and was) my initial/trial jab. If it didn't fuck me up in three or four days, I'd continue but on a plan. See/search reta trials, as mentioned above.

I bumped up too fast and had a week of barely going to the bathroom. Was very touchy and nervous situation. Because what i read said over 3 days see a doctor. Went to the doc and doc said as long as your intestines are moving food and youre able to fart you should be fine. Meanwhile dudes on here not pooping for 10 days! Trying to pass a log the size of the burg khalifa. God help them. Tldr be careful broseph
