What dose of reta are you at?

I started off at .8mg every 5 days for about 3 weeks, then up to 1.0, 1.3, 1.5 and now 3 months in at 2.0. Certainly not as effective as it once was. Next dose will be 2.5 going on the tail end of 3 months. I'm not necessarily trying to lose weight, I just don't want to crave chocolate/sweets/chips like when I first started.
 
Your doses are really low in my opinion, and I wonder what a bump from 1 to 1.3 to 1.5 would do. You also get used to the effects/feelings of Reta overtime.

Considering the quite big variations in actual milligrams packaged in vials compared to the advertised amount (R10 having from 8mg to 12mg,) these 0.2mg or 0.3mg bumps are completely meaningless.
 
Start weight: 215lb (Day 1)
Current weight: 198.2 lb (Day 38)

My reta dosage:
week 1: 1mg every 3 days / ~2.33mg per week
week 2: 1mg every 3 days / ~2.33mg per week
week 3: 1mg every 3 days / ~2.33mg per week
week 4: 1mg every 3 days / ~2.33mg per week
week 5: 1mg every 3 days / ~2.33mg per week

  • week 1 & 2 headache and fatigue was really bad, but dirinking electrolytes, sleeping more helped. I probably should have started lower dosage.
  • week 2 I lost 10 lb
  • week 4 I was stuck with the same weight for a week until I started to workout more intentionally. No more fatigue/headaches.
  • week 5 I definitely feel reta not working as it used to be, I feel the cravings come back in 1.5/2 days instead of 3 days, less effective with current dose. Planning to titrate up soon.

I know that and I mix for that. I'm just curious the reasoning and not trying to be an ass.

Makes sense. I guess I never looked at it from the experiment side. I just followed the protocol and to lose weight.
 
Jumped today on 4mg. Started from 1mg and titrating 1mg up every 3 weeks. So curious if the magic dose of reta (4mg) is a real deal, or just another urban legend 😉

I know everyone is different but I read a lot of posts where people start at low doses and don't need to titrate up that high of a dose.
I'm curious as to if people go all the way up to 12mg like in the clinical trials, if if they have reaped most benefits at lower doses.

So my question is:
How long have you been taking Reta for?
Where along are you in your journey?
What is your current dosage?

Never went above 2mgs and with working out and eating right I became the leanest I've ever been at 56 yrs old. I've been a gym rat for 40 yrs and always ate clean.
