I am on tirz now 12.5 units, and I want to switch to Reta since I've been at the same weight for like 3 months plus it seems. Would I just start the lowest? wait a few weeks inbetween? I notice with tirz when my shot wears off I get hungry again. I dont want to gorge once I stop.

This is my exact situation. Hoping more people chime in.

At 9 months after starting GLP1/bio hacking, I stalled out on weight loss at 5mg of Tirz. Instead of titrating up, I added Reta. Starting at 2.5mg, I flipped Tirz to every 5 days and Reta also on its own 5 day rotation separately from Tirz as I had read multiple articles about not stacking the 2 on same day as they hit similar receptors and you get more bang for your buck by using on separate days. Reta isn’t a great appetite suppressor, however it speeds up your metabolism that helps with energy and staying even through out the day. No nausea . No gut issues at all. I eventually moved Reta up to 5mg and Tirz to 7.5 staying at 5 day rotation and on exactly one year-I hit goal weight SW 211 GW 130. That was in May. I’ve lost another 5 not really trying. So I fluctuate between 130-125 on a weekly basis. I’ve created a starting maintenance by backing off to 7 days rotation on both, and Tirz5mg/Reta5mg. It’s working thus far and along the way am researching a few peptides/amino acids that among other things give muscle mass encouragement. NAD+, MOTS-C, AOD 9604, Tesamorelin/Ipamorelin etc. BTW- I’m a 67 year old male , previously very athletic, trying to get this aging body back into shape. Strength training 5 days a week, walking daily, and meal planning for my partner and myself that keeps us protein focused and cutting out sugary/salty snacking, especially after 6pm. Reta was a perfect match.

Thank you Dentuck! I'm going to try Reta and order Tirz. I was out of town for a few days I did my shot, didn't eat bad and the scale is creeping up. Stalling for alteast 3 months. I'm over it. I want to work out too, but I just have no energy. I got an order of NAD, and Klow while I was gone. I was hoping that helps with energy.
 
I’ve been on mounjaro/tirz for over 3 years. I lost 130 lbs. I want to lose 30 more. I still take 15mg tirz but have stalled the past year. Thinking of lowering tirz and stacking Reta. Hoping to break my stall.

I also stack NAD+ twice a week and Tesamorelin 5 days on/2 days off for 4 week cycles. SW: 222 CW: 132 GW: 125 it’s been just 13 months with stacking all 4.
 
Oh great info!! I'm at 10mg tirz and been stalled for like 2 months. Was thinking of switching but I will try the stacking every 1/2 week kind of and hopefully that will work since I did get stocked on some Reta in case this happened.

I’ve been on 15mg Tirz since April 1, but wanting to make the switch to Reta. From the countless experiences I read, Reta at the start, does not help with the food noise. So instead of completely stopping Tirz before I started Reta, I found that many were just stacking it. But carefully at first.

So I’ve stayed at my full dose of Tirz and introduced Reta last week. Still have my food noise suppression from my Tirz though. In time, as I get closer to 6 or 8mg of Reta, I’ll titrate down on Tirz and eventually stop taking it.

How many days in between each? Are you alternating 1 a week or doing a dose mid-week?

From what I've read on Reta, 6 or 8mg seems high. Have you noticed it working better?

I’m on 3mg every 3 days. I still have to fight through food noise. We have to do our part!

why not trying upping your dose before trying another compound? Just curious. Current max clinical dose of T is 15 mg and I think they are studying higher amounts. Bad sides?

I take my Tirz on Friday night. Full weekly dose.
Then on Monday night I take my weekly dose of Reta. I started at 2mg the first week and felt no side effects.

So this week I went to 2.5mg. I’ll stay there for two more weeks. And then on week 5, go up to 3 and see how I do. If good then on week 6 I’ll go 3.5 and stay there for the month. Then try 4.

Seems the magic number can be anywhere from 4mg - 8mg.
 
Thank you! How is nausea? about the same?
My wife usually always has major nausea issues. She dosed reta @ 5mg on Friday and she has had zero sides. She has not had any sides with reta like she had before. I dosed at 8mg on Friday and haven't seen any issues. I'd stay at 8mg for a while, but since my last order may not arrive, I might have to dial down the dosing.

I’m in the same boat - was thinking of going to 15mg first before I add in reta.
 
I just swapped about 6 weeks ago from 10mg Tirz to titrating up Reta. Weight loss stalled out during the swap, but is picking up again.

The appetite changes are kinda a mixed bag. I honestly kinda miss the rarely-hungry feeling of the Tirz, and being able to eat a small breakfast and then go for a 10 mile hike without having to carry food.

BUT...I have so much more energy on the Reta. Lifting and cardio both feel a lot stronger and more endurance.

So I may land on about 4mg/wk of reta and weave in a small amount of tirz to keep appetite down.

This makes me want to add it in for the energy.

I ordered Reta but haven’t tried it yet. I read that it is good for visceral fat “belly” which I’m hoping. I have a big exam coming up didn’t want to try anything new until after that. I will keep you posted. I did see where some people were having trouble getting the food noise to be quiet, but once they found the dose it was smooth sailing. A few people here said it gave them severe fatigue.

I’ll keep an eye out for your updates. I’m already fatigued enough (perimenopausal haha).
