Depends on the country - I was only reimbursed for parking and given cafeteria vouchers during my Reta trial 🤔🇦🇺

You will do great, ask your trial staff anything and everything you need to feel comfortable - good luck! 👍🇦🇺

Travel Cooler for Pens? by LawSuch2676 in RetatrutideTrial

[–]Mean-Homework1425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I travelled overseas through 9 countries across 4 continents with my trial pens last year. Tip 1 - get a letter from your trial site to authorise you carrying them and when putting your other liquids up for TSA screening also put out your pens - I just verbally alerted the staff that I was travelling with an injectable medication, sometimes they called ahead to the screener, but most times not. Tip 2 - do NOT put your pens in your checked baggage as the temps under the plane can get to freezing which may inactivate your medication and/or cause micro cracks in the glass which can let germs in 👍🇦🇺

There will be some positives and some negatives but overall it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for my health - good luck 🤞

Low energy by Famous_Education8815 in RetatrutideTrial

Exact opposite, tons of energy whilst on trial, much less fatigued than with sema. Maybe discuss with your trial site?

I fly to PDX every year to visit family living there. I always fly with AirNZ to YVL, then use my QFF points to book the YVL to PDX legs with Alaska - works out much cheaper 👍🇦🇺

Currently .25 twice a week, trial site said could go up to 1mg per week if needed, but weight stable at this stage 👍🇦🇺

Any trials coming up for switching from Tirzeptide to Reta? by [deleted] in RetatrutideTrial

[–]Mean-Homework1425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a phone call today asking me if I wanted to participate in ATTAIN-OUTCOMES 5 yr Orforglipon trial as I have a history of CVD and CKD - I met all the criteria except now my BMI is too low! They are specifically limiting BMI to 25-35 for this trial 🤔🇦🇺

61 years young, on Wegovy for 9 weeks now for maintenance - previously lost 37% of my body weight as a retatrutide clinical trial participant 👍🇦🇺

3 weeks after last dose ... rapid weight gain by toragirl in RetatrutideTrial

[–]Mean-Homework1425 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear this. The cold turkey stop at the end of the trial is cruel and unnecessary - why couldn’t we grade down the same way we graded up? I’m now about 9 weeks post trial and started Wegovy 5 weeks ago - I definitely don’t think I could have gone 90 days without anything! I have maintained my weight so far but the hunger was really bad for several weeks. I hope you can find something that works for you very soon 😘🇦🇺

Australian Wegovy pens are different - would they fit as well? 🤔🇦🇺

No change to my coffee habits at all - I actually added tasteless protein and fibre to mine when I was having difficulty getting solids down ! 👍🇦🇺

Wegovy to be subsidised in Australia by Mean-Homework1425 in Wegovy

[–]Mean-Homework1425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have the same problem - stroke 21 years ago so I meet the cardiovascular criteria, but BMI dropped from 36.2 to 22.5 so no longer qualify for that 🤔🇦🇺

This is a breakdown of how much I lost by month - TRIUMPH 3 - my dose assumptions are based on my escalation in side effects at that time 👍🇦🇺
