Reta causing reduced sleep time(went from 7 to 5-6 hours, what did you do to solve this?

[ZetsuM]

i'm having trouble sleeping after first dose of reta (0.5mg on sunday).

I felt 'alert' if that makes any sense.

Frustrating because aside from that, almost no benefits yet.

Literally was coming here to update today, I increased carbs all week and as of two days ago my bowels normalized first time all month and last night got 7 hours!!! So happy lol

I wonder now did people see a reduced impact of reta that coincides with the side effects going away?? Thats my working theory but I hope its not true as I want to stay on this dose as long as possible.

Sleep is a big part of weight loss so I am sure it is a wash

You were right last day or two all the side effects stopped. Did you notice reduced effects of reta at the dose when the side effects stopped?

Nope. Still losing. Of course I'm also stacking tirz, added kpv last month, ghkcu two weeks ago, and wolverine this week, so who's to say what's really happening in my body right now?? 😂😂😂

When i first started the sleep was okay but going into week 3 there's been a noticeable decline in sleep quantity. I've tried everything(other than more peps)
-earlier sleep
-stop eating at 6
-phone outside room

The onset of my sleep is extremely quick with magnesium but staying asleep has become an issue. Looking to see if anyone had this and was able to figure it out without additional meds or if it goes away at a certain point?

Heading into 4th week 1mg twice a week since the beginning.

Your body wakes you up if your blood sugar drops too low. That's why it is such a B*%$ to go to bed hungry. Try forcing down a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. Protein should hold you until morning.

.5mg is making you have sleep problems? I just don't understand. I didn't have issues till I hit 6mg, and now 8mg is worse.
What made you start on .5mg? Did you read any of the E Lilly trial studies?

For those taking melatonin, too much can actually cause sleep loss. I take 3 mg but at 10 I was wide awake.
I also use tart cherry extract, magnesium, and L theanine. L theanine is my secret sauce.

Now at 5mg tirz and last 2 weeks added 0.5mg midweek of reta, last nights were pretty wild, woke up around 2-4am with racing heart and headache, think is glucose, happen sometimes midday too. Previously with tirz zero problems, Also taking GLOW,NAD+ and Selank but think its cuz reta, hope next week will stabilize, keeping at 0.5 until it fixes. Keep you posted.

I can take several melatonin pills and magnesium glycinate , and still not sleep. I hear CJC1295 + ipa noc dac is supposed to help
