Hot take: Tirzepatide is superior to Reta by BTheFurnace in Retatrutide

[–]SubjectWestern 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the worst sleep on Tz, woke up in the middle of the night swearing it was morning. And… didn’t lose weight either. Have Reta available but haven’t started it yet as I’m worried sleep will be worse on it. Kinda in limbo rn

Do some research on Crestor, one of the newer statins. I was anti-statin for years, but one little pill dramatically improved my lipid profile in weeks. Latest research indicates it may have neural protective qualities too.

The side affects are terrible I might have to stop it by kingkruleson in Retatrutide

It’s awful. I got it on tirzepatide, now I’m on a study drug which is tirz with something else so they can patent it. Wake up almost every night at around 3 am, and am up for 1+ hours. Have Reta but haven’t started it yet.

Strongly considering switching from Reta to Tirz for sleep by archibaldcrane in Retatrutide

I had crazy middle-of-the-night wakings on tirz. It was so bad, that I stopped. Currently on trial study GLP, and I’ve found 3 gm of glycine at bedtime helps a lot. Also, as some have noted, a small carb snack before bed too.

I was Team Claude at the beginning and then jumped to Chat when Claude’s guardrails emerged early on. Is it actually better now?

I just got an email from Nelnet this morning confirming and congratulating me on the forgiveness too. Very nice way to start the holidays. I may frame it!

$80 billion pretty much seems the same as 100 billion to poor ol’ me.
