Very tempting but doing well on Tirz why change?
I have a low dose I’ve incorporated from a domestic source and so far so good. Waiting on QSC to have available so I can order
Someone I talk with in another forum (he might be here but has different u/n everywhere so idk) is using it for several months now, and is in touch with a couple others who are as well. He’s stacking with tirz, so results may be nonspecific.
Overall, he feels a stronger weight loss effect than tirz alone, a noticeable difference. The other individuals say the same. He pointed out that for him, the appetite suppression was greatest on sema, compared to tirz, or tirz + reta. But he feels this trade off is worth it because of other increased positive effects. He buys from overseas and is stocking up, as he feels the price is really going to go up, especially when more studies back it up. I’m not ready to put out the $$ because tirz is working so well for me rn. I also would like to see a COA, which his vendor doesn’t have.
Do you have a resource on Reta's dosing protocol? I'm guessing the pep calc for reconstitution; but curios to learn how the dosing goes.
I think the trial information is what most people are using as a starting point: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2301972
Thank you!

I’ve been stalled since June on tirzepatide. Debating if I should give reta a try. I’m still hesitant though.
Ya'll inspired me to try some reta. Ordered this past Monday from Alisa. I stated CN if no USA reta, she charged me CN price and shipping. The next day I received a USPS email about inbound shipment from Chino, CA. Package arrived today and it is the reta.
Plan to stack with tirz.

Amazing turnaround! I also ordered some Reta for the 1st time on Monday, but from elsewhere, and I’m sure it will be weeks before it arrives. I’m definitely interested if you are willing to share the stack doses you’ll be researching: mg/frequency Tirz vs. Reta.
Will do. Not sure how I'll stack yet. I'm currently on 5mg tirz every five days. Food noise is fairly low. My initial thought is to start reta at 2mg about three days after my tirz dose. Alternate tirz/reta every 3 days and see how I feel...

What you’ve described is really similar to the stacking protocols I’ve seen most ppl using. When I get mine I’ll be doing the same. Rn I’m at 7mg tirz/5 days. I may try 1mg of reta just to see how that works first. I guess I want to go slow only because of what happened with my friend I referenced..he’s been stacking reta with tirz now for more than 3 months and had been on 10mg of tirz alone prior to adding the reta. But he started with 2mg of reta with the 10mg of tirz, and after a few days he just thought he needed more reta because he didn’t notice it. So he added 2mg more. He was very sick for 2 days straight, missed work etc. He said it was a stupid mistake not taking it slowly when stacking, and not factoring in the half-life of the reta. So just thought I’d mention his experience ymmv!

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that low, slow, and adjust as needed is the way to go. Like you, may start at 1 mg reta four days after my tirz dose and see. I plan to do a bit more research before I set my schedule; although, this is kinda unchartered territory. Will post updates.

As an update, have taken two doses of QSC retatrutide, 2mg each about 3 days after my 5mg tirz dose. Honestly, I don't feel any additional food noise suppression or other benefit. Will continue to take and titrate.
However, I saw a reddit thread today that made me doubt the QSC retatrutide effectiveness. I know QSC had an issue with reta some time ago but this post had me doubting. Anyone else try the QSC retatrutide?

You likely won't feel additional food noise suppression with Reta, at least not until you hit much higher doses, because it doesn't hit that receptor as hard. It seems to go Sema > Tirz > Reta for appetite suppression, tho it will still slow gastric emptying about the same as Tirz. I'm hungrier on Reta and at first I was suspicious about that, but... I'm still losing weight.
Reta works primarily by increasing metabolic rate / energy expenditure, the GLP1/GIP agonism is much lighter. So I think a large part of the folks who are dissatisfied are coming from a GLP1 inhibitor to low doses of Reta and expecting to revive the feeling they got the first month on Tirz. That just isn't what I'm experiencing at all, and that's just fine. The scale is my guide and the scale is happy.
Thanks for the information, TessaM. Good feedback. What you say makes sense, reta being different and to adjust expectations until higher doses. The scale guide for me is pointing in the right direction, too. I can't complain. So, I will continue on my path and titrate up slowly, or as needed.

Yesterday, I read a study in which a professor wrote that different medications affect people differently and, especially at too high a dosage, can cause side effects such as mood swings, increased heart rate, and even arrhythmias. This led me to think of the following solution to the problem:
if 5 mg does not provide the sufficient effect, to administer a second injection of 5 mg? If this would double the effect, I would also try this with Retatrudite or Tirzepatide. Then I could order the correct dosage of 5 or 10 mg injections in the future. Is this possible?

I just read elsewhere combing reta with tirz is not healthy due to muscle loss and heart palpitations to start.
Could you share your link?

petey neither of those doses are considered to be "therapeutic", and they are unlikely to suppress food noise or appetite.
For me, as an example, 7-10mg of Tirzepatide was needed to equal the supression effects of 2.5mg of Semaglutide. I've no dog in the QSC hunt but I don't think your experience at low doses is sufficient to cast doubt of their product.

Thanks for your timely feedback, dionysos. That comment you referenced was 7 months ago, so lots have changed since then.
Since your concern appears to be more about QSC than me as a person, let me address that point. Which is that I agree with your conclusion. My 7-month old comment completely fails to cast doubt on QSC's reputation. However, bismirching QSC's reputation was not my intention back then. If it was, I'm sure I could cite a few compelling examples. Honestly, my 7-month old comment was selfish in nature, it was about me, not QSC. It was about my self doubt having just started stacking Reta with Tirz and reading a post related to QSC's Tirz. As a result, I posed the question with my comment. The summary feedback back then, which you touched upon, was that it was too early to tell due to the low initial dose I was on at the time. Made sense to me, I accepted that explanation and moved on. QSC's product quality, or lack of, did not enter my mind again. Until you bring it up 7-months later.
No dog in the QSC hunt? Not so sure about that. Just saying.

I'm sorry that my comment sounded personal, or biased. It was not intended to be either of those things.
Perhaps commenting on an old thread made it seem somehow pointed? Again, my apology; I didn't even notice the posting date.
I am actively engaged in an attempt to understand the differences in appetite suppression vs side effects vs dosage of the three primary GLP-1s and how I can best use them to meet my goals. The potency of each vendors products is relevant, of course, as is the very subjective nature of each individual's reporting. Those two factors alone make reaching conclusions a challenge for me - that, my old age, and my diminishing brainpower!
QSC is of very little consequence to me, and is of interest mainly because it is something of a known quantity in this new-to-me forum. I did impulsively buy 4 vials of the recent QSC Group Buy when offered to me. The amount of money was trivial, I got to meet two members of this forum, and it seemed like a fun learning experience - like going to the fairgrounds for lunch and betting on a horse. Bizzarely perhaps, I don't even need the Tirzepatide I bought 😄
You CAN justly accuse me of bias when it comes to AmoPeptide, which I purchased before my QSC fling. There is a very new, untried vendor that I researched, compared, and evaluated in my newbie way. Then I invested in AmoPeptide by purchasing a kit of Retatrutide, also a new and relatively untried entity.
I'm Biased and Invested in both of those things. Fire away peteyb !
