After overshooting and going way too high, I restarted my Reta journey at 4mg, mainly to figure out how to manage my side effects. At that dose, I basically stayed the same weight. At 5mg, same.
At 6mg - for me - I have dropped weight very quickly. YMMV, obviously. I’m 5 4 and weigh(ed) 167 lbs when I went to 6mg. But my experience is consistent with what I’ve been hearing – that for many people 6 mg is when things start to happen. After that, I hear it’s either 8 or 9 mg. I have not looked at any of the titration studies that were conducted. I can only speak regarding this N of 1.
