I'm at 8mg, and not sure I'll need 12mg. 10mg would be next if needed. This has taken 5-1/2 months to get there.
Agreed. I've been at 4mg (split to 2mg/2mg) for a couple of months now and my body won't let me go higher (yet) so I'm sticking around until my body is ready. I'm doing it low and slow, started from 0.5mg since December of last year.
ive been at 2.5 on and off as i couldn't get filters so i had to stop reconning for a bit. If i was more consistent I hope I could see some results; but my plan is to increase every 2-4 weeks until i see results even if i need to go to 15 or above. I'm an adult I can understand consequences - but I've been stuck at a certain weight plateau for 2 years even on tirz and can't break through no matter what/diet/plan/anything. There was a study that stated that 100% of clinical trial partcipants had weight loss on reta it just depended on which dose and some were higher. So im looking forward to starting up again next week and just moving higher until the fat comes off or i'm 99% reta by volume lmaooooo
Not a little fast, a lot fast.
I agree, though from scanning the forums it seems a lot of people drop a ton the first few weeks.
Nah it's fine. I have maybe about 5-7 lbs to lose - just some stubborn aging weight I've gained over the years. I initially thought I lost a few pounds but weighed myself at the gym the other day and the scale did not budge at all.
I actually did find a video showing a guy doing exactly that-- injecting a vial with the Mounjaro autopen. Looks fairly straightforward. Pinned my first 2mg of reta yesterday (so far so good) and going to add half my heretofore typical weekly tirz (from my PCP) dose tomorrow. I'm kind of psyched.
8 mg once per week? Tirz also once per week? you take on the same day? Can you explain me please?
I stager them 4 days a part and yes only once a week on each.
I been on it for 1 week, and i started with 1 mg first week, I dont think illl ever go over 4 mg a week
That depends on your situation. I had said the same when I was reading studies before I started, and now I'm on 8mg.
Good luck
250mcg of Cagri was a game changer on 5mg reta and continued hunger. I would suggest investigating that as an option, but take it very slow with Cagri, it is powerful. I titrated up to 500mcg and it's too much, 250 remains the sweet spot imo, though your results may differ.
0. Had to stop due to hypotension. Also I felt like crap. Now on Tirz.
So that’s like nearly 10 wks, for an average loss of nearly 4lbs a week. At that rate I think you’re likely to be losing muscle weight as well.
Hey, we all make our own choices, so you do you.. but if it were me I’d only consider it a plateau if I stayed at the same weight for 10-14 days. I’d also titrate down a step in the next 4wk phase to try to hit no more than -2lbs a week on average.
give or take, yes. 21lbs in the first 4 weeks, 16lbs in the next 4 weeks. as for the muscle, i would neither be surprised, nor care much for it personally. at the end of the day, it's nothing i can't rebuild within a month or two at the gym, if i find that it affects my daily life enough. my sole focus is overall weight going down.
i've been hovering at 190/191 for the past 5ish days, so for me it's a plateau, given the rate of weight loss rate to date. i did start 8mg about 5 weeks in and have been taking that dose since, so i figure it's time to bump it up regardless.
to each their own. my goal is to hit 170's at some point by next month, so i'd personally rather not slow down for any reason. given that i'm not experiencing fatigue or any other side effect that would have an impact on my quality of life, i see no real reason to taper down as it is.
