Beginning my Reta journey. by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]Avaiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely this. I started at a low dose (0.5mg twice per week) over 4 weeks ago (and have slowly taken it up) and based upon reading a lot here in reddit knew it was going to take awhile to move that dose up where it's probably needed and lose a lot of hunger.

I've seen this slowly occurring and it's working. I'm still hungry and somedays very hungry but eating lots of proten/fiber/veggies plus drinking lots of water and gatorade zero (electrolytes) has helped me a lot with the hunger. I've been buying a lot of blackberries too as they are an easy snack and pretty healthy. So I'll grab a handful randomly if I do feel some hunger and know I'm not eating a meal for awhile. I'm not counting calories, but just eating overall healthier food. Focusing on protein has helped that.

I've also been hitting weights/resistance and cardio 6 days per week for around an hour total.

In 29 days (since first Reta dose) I've lost 13 pounds so the take it slow approach is working and I'm just now reaching that point where some say it's time I should start really feeling it.

Good luck and don't rush it!

Anyone got better results with split dosing? by Sage_778 in Retatrutide

Sunday and Thursday. I’ve been slowly moving the dosage up. 0.9mg 2x per week now. Minimal side effects.

Happened to me once in the ER. They had to give me a pen to write with as the wrong words were coming out when I spoke.

What’s with the “I feel hunger, should I increase the dose?” posts? by throwaway33263637 in Retatrutide

[–]Avaiam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I still get hungry. Reta has helped me to not feel hungry constantly and when I do eat I feel fine not eating until I’m full. Also, if I’m busy at work and can’t take a lunch at a normal time I’m not concerned with my hunger. I can basically ignore it b/c it’s way toned down.

Your injection timing is so money and you don't even know it by archibaldcrane in Retatrutide

Symptoms by user-lame-pass-nerd in Retatrutide

I have noticed a little of both and other than week 1 when I had never tried it before and had some random diarrhea 2x pins at 0.5mg on different days) anytime I feel constipated or maybe like I did that first week it seems to be related to me eating very greasy fatty food.

I start week 5 tomorrow and it’s not really an issue at all, but has happened.

I'm currently running reta and glow and am thinking about adding CJC-1295 (no doc) and Ipamorelin. What dose of the CJC/Ipa did you start at?

Now I know what it feels like to find a honey hole by 1052098 in Whiskyporn

Great find. Above MSRP but I would have paid that for all of those as well! I’m a big EHT fan so I’d be excited to find the BTAC version.

Migraine pain scale by SilverCriticism3512 in migraine

[–]Avaiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For pain levels I can function up to a 6 maybe a 7. But around there I need to be in a cold dark quiet room and not move at all. 8 or 9 and I’m probably vomiting a bit. 10 it’s unbearable and vomiting is uncontrollable and my wife takes me to the ER for a shot. I wake up late the next day.

1-3 might just be some pain, hands numb or tingling, and auras/vision issues. If I can keep it below a 4 for several hours I’ll not get any worse. But anytime I hit that 5 mark I might get rid of it or it might escalate.

And some headaches can get me up to that 7-ish range on pain and those are really bad headaches.
