Reta - No Effect

[Thedooman445]

Hello,

I purchased Retatrutide and am currently going into my fifth week. I started at what’s considered the higher end of dosing and have gradually increased from there. My dosing schedule is listed below. So far, I’m honestly not feeling much of a response. I’m still able to eat normally, though I have noticed that my cravings are mostly gone and it’s been easier to eat clean. I do feel slightly fuller at times, but that’s about it. My girlfriend is following the same plan, and she has already lost 23 pounds, which makes me wonder if I might just be a non-responder. I’m feeling a bit underwhelmed and curious if anyone else has had a slower response or noticed that it took longer for things to really kick in.

Dosing schedule:

• Week 1: 2 mg
• Week 2: 3 mg
• Week 3: 3 mg
• Week 4: 3 mg
• Week 5: 4 mg

Thanks in advance for any shared experiences.

It takes 4 weeks for Reta to reach therapeutic levels. You're also titrating up very quickly. Typical protocols show 4 weeks at each increment, also starting at 2 mg, but sometimes lower. If you're already at 4mg and tolerating any sides, I would suggest staying there for 4 weeks and then reassessing. Have you moved from Sema or Tirz to Reta? This can also cause slow response until you reach a higher dosage.

Thanks for the reply! I haven’t done Sema or Tirz before—this is my first GLP-1. I realize I probably moved up a bit quickly, but I plan to stay at this dose now like you suggested for the next four weeks and then reassess. It’s helpful to know it takes around four weeks to reach therapeutic levels; I think all the social media hype made it seem a lot stronger and faster-acting than it really is. I also forgot to mention that I’m on TRT, in case that plays any role with Reta. Interestingly, my girlfriend felt the effects almost immediately in the first week—so it must be doing something 😆

Did you do any body scans beforehand? Are you do anything resistance training to go with it?

i saw little to no effects until the max dose, i'd recommend to just keep titrating up if you aren't getting troublesome side effects (maybe a little more slowly) and only give up on it if you aren't seeing meaningful effects after more than a month on the max dose, then probably consider tirz

It's possible but I haven't used TRT, so maybe someone else could provide insight there.

I do know you have to give it time to work it's magic. Everyone is different and we have different levels of response. For me, it was also the first few days, but you never really know until you start. Also, eating at a deficit, getting regular exercise and sleep habits are major factors in the outcome as well.

Are you both using from the same vial? Or in other words, do you trust your juice?
