Maintenance on Tirz or Reta....thoughts?

[Stace_wow]

Hi everyone,

I am curious what everyone is doing for maintenance after weight loss. If you lost weight with Reta, are you maintaining with Reta? If you lost with Tirz are you staying on Tirz at a lower dose, same dose, max dose? Do you use GLP's for maintenance? I hear some folks saying loss with Reta, maintain with Tirz, and the other way around.

I am on Tirz, and I am in a weight loss with Tirz and but considering maintenance with Reta for body recomp benefits, and I'm interested in hearing what others have done, and what has been successful. I began my journey with Tirz since it was my intro to gray and widely accepted, but my real interest in GLPs has been Reta.

I'm currently on 6mg Reta, 6 months in and about 10lbs from goal weight. I plan on switching to Tirz for maintenance though. I'm hoping to get away form the elevated HR and lower HRV that Reta has caused since I believe maintenance is going to be a long term deal. Also since the dosage will be much lower, I feel the added appetite suppression would be beneficial.

I can see it going a few ways depends on goals.

Like if lost weight on tirz, but wanted some additional lipid control or non alcoholic fatty liver, pop on reta.

If lost on reta, switch to tirz for lower resting heart rate and possibly better sleep.

Im a weirdo who stacks sema and reta. So for cutting, I add and titrate up reta and pretty much maintain on same sema dose.

Just one users experience. I have been on maintenance for over 12 months now. I lost weight - 55lbs over 6 months - on Tirzepatide starting at 1mg/week ramping up to 8mg/week. I've been maintaining since on 2.5mg/week Tirz. I'm basically still at goal weight 12 months later. So finding a maintenance dose has worked for me.

My arguments for using Tirz - if it works for you - is it is a more vetted compound, more widely available, more accepted by doctors, and cheaper. I likely will be taking something for the rest on my life for maintenance, and at this point in time Tirz wins the pro/con debate for me.

I am thinking about loosing another 10-15lbs and using an added dosage of Reta to facilitate it. That will be my first experience with Reta. I now have a kit on hand and will start on my next needle night on Saturday.
