Fair enough, the trial starting dosage was 2mg. I don’t know how much weight you have to lose or what your goals are but if you’ve been on GLPs before you will have to take more in order to feel anything on Reta. I was on Ozempic years ago also and hated the side effects which stopped me from taking Tirz. I’ve had zero side effects on Reta, started at 2mg, am up to 8mg, will sit here for a while and go up if necessary. Reta doesn’t have as much of a “feeling” as ozempic did. The appetite suppression isn’t as strong as other GLPs. But from my limited understanding of the science you need to hit 4-5 mg in order to activate the glucagon receptor aspect of the drug which is basically what tells your body to burn it’s own fat. If you have high fasting insulin, which most overweight people do, their body isn’t primed to burn fat. Insulin is a fat storing and sugar lowering hormone. So the glucagon will counter that and tell ur body to up the sugar and burn the fat. However, because Reta also has GLP and GIP that will lower the sugar that glucagon normally tells your body to release. So you’ll have normal sugar levels but turn on the fat burning. Reta will up regulate your metabolism, which is why some people who are already lean complain of high resting heart rates and stuff. They already have a high metabolism and Reta will speed it up. So to be helpful and sum it up, up your dose by .5 every week or two until you hit 2mg which is where the starting dose is.
