For me, and I think for most researchers, Retatrutide provides noticeably better appetite suppression than Tirzepatide does. Reta is not near the level of Semaglutide or Cagrilintide in this respect but is significantly better than Tirz.

Reta is NOT Adderall. There is no Reta 'boost' so-called but it does not create any fatigue. On Tirz I was accustomed to an afternoon nod or nap every day. With Reta I don't need it. You should note that I am 72 years old and a nap would seem a likely feature of every day 🙂

Just as Sema does Tirzepatide has side effects. They are typically 'half' or less than that of Sema but Tirz DOES have them. Being dose dependent they increased at the higher dosages I required.
Retatrutide has sides as well but roughly half as much as Tirz - very few actually.

Food noise is minimal with either peptide but it has soon required 10-12mg weekly to keep it low. Reta is very pleasant - dosed correctly I experience no actual hunger UNLESS my wife starts roasting peppers or sweating onions and I can smell it. Even then it is something of an intellectual exercise - "Am I hungry? I guess I could be but nah, not right now I'd rather do (whatever)."

It isn't anhedonia. Put a well-prepared meal in front of me and I will certainly enjoy every bite I take. It won't be too many bites however 🙂

I hope this communicates something useful to you Smokey. I feel I waffle too much with these subjective feelings.

I really appreciate the insight and deeper explanation of how reta works for you and I look forward to trying reta in the future thanks in part to your feelings on the subject.

I do wonder if in the long run the most effective and powerful peptide, which seems to be reta at the moment, will be the one that is best for maintenance. I already have a years worth of triz on hand and it makes me wonder if it's going to be a game of these 6 months triz and then 6 months reta, etc. or simply settle on one and try and make that one work long term.

Can you translate this for a n00b? lol. thanks.

These are new glp-s that are hitting the market and showing great weight loss results. Survotude and Mazatutide.

 

[MrsRoper_1977]

Even though i'm sure that most here are correct that there is no reason to fill the freezer with years worth of product, I would be lying if I said I didn't feel the constant need to get more. For me, the biggest fear is that the powers that be will make it really difficult to get, making it really difficult to restock when the time comes. I've also thought about the inevitable rush that will happen when compounding stops. Will I have enough to weather the storm?

The conclusion for myself was to shoot for about 1 and a half years of any product I might want to use. It's on the high side but it helps me sleep at night. As for sales, I'm just going to wait and see what kind of deals, if any, show up around the holidays. I think I know what the Christmas bonus is going towards this year. 😆

We think alike. I’m stockpiling them all.😂

So for you, you still get full much faster than before any glp?

Yes, I do. However, Tirz, Reta and Cagrilintide are a different experience than Semaglutide. The three newer peptides eliminate food noise and any physical cravings very well.

Semaglutide has such strong gastroparesis that it seems a very real PHYSICAL BARRIER to eating much.

As a thought experiment to illustrate this I believe one could learn to eat to excess on Reta without actually being hungry. Such a thing would be impossible on Sema and you’d likely have strong GI problems quickly.

I am already feeling the pull to horde stock up on tirzepatide. I am new enough to this that I do not know the pricing/promo trends. My question is: Should I stock up more now with the Mid-Autumn Festival promos or do I wait for pricing during Black Friday/Christmas/New Years?

You are SO NOT alone on the “stocking” up hoarding lol I fight with myself, do I need more of this, I may want to try that after this!! It’s addicting for sure !! Welcome !!! Gonna take some of the advice from above !!! lol but it’s tough !!

 

[H1n1vrz89]

as i am new to this and bring it to light where i work, and in my area, people were amazed on my weight loss, and ask me how i did it. I have ADHD so when i hyper fixate on something i tend to over do it. Like recently it was xbox 360 modding, then now the peptides, then its turning to cryptocurrency mining, but the peptides is a ongoing thing cause i like the effects, and it really helps with my cravings, and my cholesterol and triglycerides were ALL HIGH. and HDL was LOW.
So i read this stuff helps out, with the levels over long period of time.
I have lost 18lbs in the span of 5 weeks. I feel really good, and Little to No Side Effects.
i have Reta on the way, just in case i need to jump to that.
the ADHD side of me wants to buy the Good sales, and the other side is like "but why"
then i start to reason, "what if ... thissss. or... that... happens, you be happy to order it" so it sucks.

but i am even happy to say I have noticed i dont need my adhd meds as much, like i feel focused while on this stuff. weird..
but do i plan on buying the T50 from QSC... damn right you know i am.. should i... no... but its 50 damn mg! half a Gram of Tirz!
but i want to stick to 10mg Vials more than anything. and have at least 10 for myself at all times.

anyways, sorry for the long ass paragraph.

I can relate to this so much. I struggle if I really *do* have ADD - but this ^. My rational and frugal side realizes I can wait but the ADD side is like "ooohhhh shiny! Me buy more shiny!"

 

[AndyPanda]

I know that the MedSpas in Virginia are starting to talk up CagriSema. I think those ingredients will be the next push and that Tirz is safe for now.

It has begun! Got this in an email today...

I do think you are correct Andy. My own experience with low-dose Cagrilintide is that it provides appetite control equal to or greater than Semaglutide. And it does this WITHOUT the strong gastroparesis OR constipation that I experienced for 10 months on Sema.

If Reta ceases to be of benefit then Cagri will figure prominently in whatever I do next.

I’d think a pairing with T would be more beneficial.

I've already found that Tirzepatide is not as effective or pleasant for me as Retatrutide is. Not likely that I would step backward.

I am curious though as to the basis for your observation, Red.

 

[SassyPants]

This is my first week adding a small dose of Reta a few days after Tirz. My main intent was addressing fatigue and I really feel better. The first day I chalked it up to placebo based on what I’d read about other people’s experiences. But 3 days later I still do not feel fatigued at all.

How small of dose? Thanks! Edit: Nevermind. I see you answered already.😉

 

[BamaCrazy]

How small of dose? Thanks!

I am on 7.5mg of Tirz. Now 3 days after Tirz I use 2mg of Reta. So far I am really liking it.

I meant the combination of C+T, not C+S like the link showed. I didn’t mean to imply R, sorry for my poor wording.

Seems that C+S would have dominating control over appetite. T could benefit from appetite support since it lacks it out of the gate when compared to S.

I think I am in complete agreement with all your statements here.
Had I known more about Cagri at the time it is entirely possible I would have stacked it with Tirzepatide and been content.

In re Cagri-Sema, I believe an equal parts blend would be way overkill for me.
Adding 0.300mg of Cagrilintide mid-week over 10-12mg Retatrutide KILLS my appetite for about 2 (two) weeks! I can't really imagine what 2.4mg would do 😳

 

[Jailbreak7]

Have you considered going exclusive w/ Reta? if so what dosage would replace 7.5?

 

[Nikki nik]

For me Retatrutide is superior in every way. I intended to sample a new kit by stacking 2.5mg of Reta atop 7.5-10mg of Tirz. It quickly became clear that Reta was doing all the heavy lifting so I did a quick-migration to Reta and really liked it!

Obvs YMMY.

How were you able to get cholesterol in good? I'm no longer prediabetic but my cholesterol is high still 🤷🏽‍♀️

Me too! My A1C is back in the normal range but my cholesterol actually went up significantly after starting Tz. Had blood work done 3 months after starting. I’m hoping for my next round of blood work it’ll level out or even hopefully go down 🤞🏼

[BamaCrazy]

I have. I am not sure what the equivalent would be. So my plan is to slowly lower Tirz, pause and see where my appetite and weight are. Then increase Reta if needed. Then continue to lower Tirz until I’m only using Reta.

How can a MedSpa sell something that isn't FDA approved? The MedSpas around here have a real doctors license on the line but is usually run by NPs

It’s not unusual for cholesterol to transiently go up while actively losing weight.
