Tirz was fine, Lost 60 lb, Tried reta...

[J Arbey]

Tirz was fine ( even up to 15mg/week ), Lost 60 lb in just over a year; Tried Reta for a month --> Can't get quality sleep.

I waited until I was 10 days past my Tirz dose and pinned 1mg Reta, then waited 3 days, pinned 1mg Reta.

Pinned a total of 5mg split up over 2.5 weeks, then pinned 4mg... Definite food noise suppression, slightly more nausea than Tirz for me...
But sleeping was not good, I would wake up at 2-3AM feeling wired, and I only have 2 cups of coffee in the AM, max.

Decided Reta didn't like me; 2 weeks after last Reta I went back to Tirz at 8mg. Have been sleeping much better the last few days. Only a few more pounds to go.

This is research. Sometimes you get great results, sometimes not so good. Everyone can be different.

YMMV

Be safe all.

That sucks. I love Reta. So much better. I use a little Tirz still too. I love how vascular Reta makes me and especially during my lifting. Crazy.

I like both of them; I take 10 mg of each every week. ;-)

After two months of Reta, my sleep has improved.

I take both, the first couple of months of reta sleep was bad. After that, sleep improved even with increased doses

I think Reta raises your resting heart rate. My dr. told me that. I think Tirz does it also, but less. Could that be causing your sleep issue?

I found on a YouTube a guy said he had to have carbs before bed and it fixed the Reta sleep issues

I now have a snack when I wake up at night. Pumpkin seeds and peanut butter on bread.

Little carbs, little magnesium.

So far so good

I ran out of compounded sema in December, got my first gray reta in Februaray. I was having hair loss over the two years I took official wegovy and zepbound then compounded. Hair is amazingly growing back now.

As for sleep, I'm a night person, go to sleep around 2am and used to be able to sleep in as long as I wanted. Sleeping until noon was great for me.
Now something wakes me up at 6-8am and there is no way I can fall asleep again.
I get good quality sleep according to my galaxy watch but only 4-5 hours.
I don't feel tired at all, even at bedtime.
