What dose of reta are you at?

[SVT810E]

Just dropped back down to 12 after running 24 for a couple months.

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 😉

The only red line was my 4mg. I’ve since stalled and wondering if I should go up to 5 tomorrow or stay with 4. I’ve been packing on muscle with surfing almost daily so I’m not sure what do do…

I tirtrated from 3mg to 4mg 2 days ago and definitely can feel the difference. Don't say it's something more unusual than before, but as everytime I boost the dose it hits me harder.

Followed phase 3 dosing schedule. Dropped 110 lbs now at 14.2% body fat. 2.3 visceral fat.

Week 1 .5mg
Week 2 1mg
First time on Reta, no issues

 

[Sumblime81]

Weeks 1-3, 1mg
Week 4, 1.5

Steady 1.5-2 lbs/week at this point

5mg a week. I feel like I need to change it to every 5-6 days though. By the end of the week, I can eat like normal, like, food noise is completely gone. Still super slow digestion, so that isn’t any fun.

Another 6mg yesterday and I should have gone 8mg.

Week 1 .5mg
Week 2 1mg
First time on Reta, no issues

If I switch to Reta, that is my plan as well. It took me forever to get past the starting dose of Sema, so I wouldn't anticipate Reta being much easier on my system.

10 weeks in and 45 pounds down.
Started at 0.5mg and slowly worked up to 5mg which seems to be about right for me. Combined with MOTS-C. I have been astonished at how effective it has been at cutting the craving and constant thoughts about food.

I'm 4 months in & at 4 mg (started at 2 mg). I went up to 6 mg for a couple of weeks but got sick. I don't know if it had anything to with the increased dosage, but I went back down to 4 mg after feeling better. I'm almost at 40 pounds lost, close to goal & still losing. I may go back up to 6 mg for a couple weeks or just stay where I'm at. I'm happy with how I've responded at these doses & need to focus on working out more.

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?

Currently finishing up week 8 of my journey on 6.5 mg this week. Started at 229, and down to 204 today working out 5-7 days a week doing 30-40+ minutes of incline treadmill on-top of daily workout routines.

Even though I’m eating at a caloric deficit, I’m prioritizing my protein and have actually gained muscle during this cut instead of losing any at all.

6mg once a week now, 6 months in. Have been basically maintaining at this point but eating and drinking whatever I want. I'm a fit 170-175lbs right now. If I really wanted to cut I would look to cut another 10-15lbs.

Will likely start going down in dose to start back in a bulk phase end of July.
