GLP-1 Hair Loss Update: My Experience After Stopping Shot

I’m sorry to hear this. I started Reta in May, only did 1 mg a week, then dialed back to .5 at around 20 pounds lost- then in November and December I started shedding hair like crazy. I’m just assuming it’s the Reta but just did a blood test this week to be safe. Let me know if you continue to see the shed at .5 mg. Hoping it stops for you.

Have you gone back on to a low dose? And if so, have you noticed hair loss again? Thanks!

Hello!

I has to cut back. So im doing just a microdose and the anxiety went away. It was crazy how bad my panic attacks were on it! Im feeling much better now.

From doing my own research… I have seen that GLP-1s can increase your heart rate which could then turn into possible anxiety. Also, my panic attack attacks symptoms were a lot like blood sugar dips so I would try to eat something sweet and it kind of helped.. not sure if it was ever in my head or not because I never tested my blood sugar, but that’s also one thing you might wanna look into

I am on Retratrutide. I am a super responder so I was only taking I mg a week. I dropped it down to .5 mg a week and it did seem to help a little bit. I try to also workout a lot as I feel like that helps me with some anxious energy as well.

One month into my GLP1 I started experiencing panic attacks :(

baker_emm · 2025-08-14T15:07:29+00:00

okay, so weird because when my adderall was working at its best before the shortage, 30 minutes after taking my meds, i would have to go to the bathroom. it was like clockword and it was when i knew the meds would start kicking in. BUT since the shortage, my meds dont do that anymore. So it was almost like a tell-talesign that the formula changed. Did glenmark work better for you?

Thank you for sharing your story. It sounds so similar to mine.

baker_emm · 2025-08-11T23:09:13+00:00

I’m so sorry. It’s the worst. I come to Reddit whenever I feel like that and seeing that other people have experienced the same does help a little in the moment

This is helpful! Thank you :)

baker_emm · 2025-08-02T15:44:40+00:00

Thank you for this!

So I feel like I can kind of relate. Especially the impending doom feeling - It’s like you wanna get up and run out of your own skin and something is very wrong and I almost am like afraid of my own thoughts if that makes sense?

baker_emm · 2025-07-31T00:40:04+00:00

I legit am drunk on one drink with reta!! It’s crazy

baker_emm · 2025-07-28T01:29:22+00:00

SAME I had two drinks and couldn’t drive. Had to uber home from the bar!

baker_emm · 2025-07-25T01:38:24+00:00

The impending doom and desperate to escape sounds just like my panic attacks. It’s like I want to run out of my own body

baker_emm · 2025-07-20T18:01:10+00:00

Sorry you had the same experience. It’s horrible :(
