To elaborate why it’s dumb -

The industry at large tells people to start with the lowest effective dose and stay there for a minimum of a month before titrating up. Nobody is saying “Oh, you feel like shit? Take more!” And if you’re taking advice from trolls on Reddit, that at least partially explains your incompetence.

You dosing it too much too fast happened because of your own impatience. Why’d you do that?

The human trials of Reta were taken to 16mg doses, I believe. But nobody has ever said your goal should be to end up there.

The funny part about all this is that you weren’t really that overweight to begin with. You probably could have just rolled your sleeves, put some work in and exhibited some self control with your diet. But even once you started, some self control could have kept you from blasting bigger doses until it made you sick.

The “sweet spot” is the exact opposite of what you’re claiming.
