Well this is making me crazy

[Hulkow]

I have been out of the reta study for a while. I am on Tirz and I don't like it. I just arrived here a few days ago and I don't know who to listen to and who not to listen to. I don't know who is good and who is a salesman. 🙁 Is there anyone on here that has been on the actual Reta & has found a "replacement reta" that feels like it should? If so please DM me - contact me - help me. Thank you so much. I have been reading these posts for hours and I am more confused than ever.

Very few people have been in a Reta trial. But it's just a simple chain of amino acids, an exact copy of that chain should "feel" exactly the same. This is true for branded tirz as well.

No offense, but hours of reading is barely getting started. If you have a specific question please ask it, but if it's just "I don't know what to do" then the answer is read some more.

I am looking for a Reta that works and won’t kill me. I want to ask the questions you’re not allowed to ask. I want to get back on a Reta immediately but there are so many shifty places out there I don’t know who to buy from. I have seen some people that have described their Reta as doing exactly what the real stuff does and I want to know where they get it. I also don’t know how to send a DM or even if I have those privileges at this point in time from being so new. I have also seen some people describing theirs in a way that makes me feel like where they’re getting It is not even close to the real thing…… I don’t want their Reta. Does that make sense?

I'm honestly so curious about your posts having never been in a trial, nor taken reta. What don't you like about Tirz? What are you looking to accomplish? What does "real" reta feel like that is different from what you're reading about here?

You need to read what folks are saying here and figure out which vendors seem to have a lot of happy users. Unfortunately no one's going to say "just order from XYZ" because if we allow that kind of talk here the quality of posts goes downhill fast because shills will show up. You also should not DM people for tips.

I am sorry to be cagey about it, but that's how it is. The information you seek IS in here--the reta you need IS available. Also, you WILL feel a little uneasy your first time making a grey order. It's going to work out though.

Inhale, hold, exhale.

First, running grey has risks. While there are ways of minimizing risk, it won’t be zero because it’s grey. You’ll have to decide if what is out there minimizes the risk enough for you.

You can search for trusted sellers. I am new to this world but seller reputation is fragile: word gets around when something is amiss. People complain loudly and are satisfied quietly — the one mixing snafu I’ve had was resolved quickly and when I was on the phone with the seller he said his reputation online was everything. I’m new to the forum but it seems people do talk about when things are fixed and how quickly a seller moved once a problem was known to them.

You can look for third party testing. Product gets sent to a third party lab (no vested interest in the seller) and they will return what they find. Some sellers send their own and post results, some users will send some off. You can choose to send your own off for testing.

It is a very different world than getting a script then showing up at the pharmacy for the medicine. Your tolerance for risk is probably different than mine, so you’ll have to decide what you need to choose a path, and move forward with your plan.

I’m about a year into this (not a year into dosing) and I’m still finding things I didn’t know.

I think what you are saying makes complete sense and I understand your sense of urgency. I think it is really rough that the trial sponsors have left you high and dry.

That said, there are SO MANY variables since this is all done in the grey area without a provider handing you a scrip and telling you exactly what to do. Folks that are much more experienced than I have seen people in these forums make rash decisions and make mistakes that can hurt them. I think that is why folks are telling you to go slow and to do lots of homework.

Off the top of my head these are some of the things I needed to understand more about before going forward: Learning how this forum, reddit pages, discord, and telegram sites work and what info seemed trustworthy, learning about different vendors (domestic and overseas), experienced users views on the vendors, recent customer service issues w/ overseas vendors, how testing works, which vendors have (current or legacy) safety issues, if there are group tests I could join, how group tests work, what payment methods I was comfortable with, tips and tricks for reconstituting, learning about Hospira Bac water, what dosage schedule seemed right for me. That is just a start.

Looking back I bought my first vial and some supplies from a domestic shop that me with several more weeks of knowledge probably wouldn't have and that now me definitely wouldn't recommend. I lived but looking back it makes me cringe.

How people respond to reta is different, its not that the reta is different. Also what people percieve is different based on their own personal experiance. I think you're overthinking that part a bit.

Go to the vendor connections, pick 3 vendors to look into. Spend a couple hours searching their name on the forum to see what people have said. (No vendor is perfect, they all fuck up from time to time). Order a couple kits of reta from one of them. Send a vial to janoshik.com or peptidetest.com for testing. That's about the most reassurance you're ever going to get in this world. There are cheaper ways to accomplish this but that definitely takes more patience.

Hi there, something I've heard a lot (and many here, too, surprised they didn't mention it) is that when you go off any glp-1 and then restart, it's common for it to no longer work as well, or at all. Not meaning forever, but it may take time to get back to where you were. Probably going from R to T is a step backward. How long ago did your study end?
When you search here on Ret, you'll find conversations I've seen where others have used some peptides alongside Ret that have kickstarted the weight loss again.

I think there's a magical invisible line in the sand we all have to cross when we accept the fact that we are buying powder in vials from fkn China to 'do research' with, and that there are absolutely zero guarantees, zero safety nets, and zero assurances beyond 3rd party tests(LOL) and a few other tiny things that give us some quantifiable peace of mind about buying powder that has a greater than 0% chance of being anthrax or absolutely nothing.

Some cross that line after much deliberation and research, some dont think about consequences until long after they crossed over, but all of us have to look in the mirror and accept that we agreed to this for better or worse.

But flirting with the line and looking for a well traveled path is only going to make you fret more, friend. There's a reason this is all off the beaten path. You just gotta jump on in. The water is...mostly fine, probably. Some kid might've pissed in it but that builds character!

You'll figure it out! Everyone else here did/is doing so. 🖖

This is pretty much the right attitude. There are also plenty of people around to tell you you're doing something truly stupid. (Sometimes they might even be right)
