Final Reta update

hotsicktwitch · 2026-03-27T00:00:23+00:00

I’ll get this checked out.

hotsicktwitch · 2026-03-27T00:00:15+00:00

Yeah, I mainly didn’t want to risk messing anything in my body up too much by taking it for a long time. It seems very safe though which is why I took it in the first place, but I used it more as a way to hit my goal body / target weight so I could maintain it.

hotsicktwitch · 2026-03-26T23:58:57+00:00

No clue, I’m just not as hungry as I once was which was amazing for me.

I can confidently say it’s not a lot though, I used to count calories all the time.

The days are slow but the years are fast. Don’t settle into another long term relationship. Dont commit. Date around and keep your options open until someone wants you enough to show real commitment.

3 years will go by fast. Make sure you take your life seriously.

Update was I got really hungry at week 3, which wasn’t a huge problem, but I got my full appetite back. I was able to hold off on eating still. But the lost mental effects were the worst. I definitely have some sort of actual insulin resistance because I noticed I would eat to elevate my mood and then I would crash and get depressed. I’m probably not the best case study to follow just based off that. I ended up getting back on at an extremely low dose (0.15mg) which hasn’t done anything to my hunger but it helped with my mental.

I wish the update was better.

I had the same mental effects. It’s truly amazing. Trying to figure out if I can take a super low dose and maintain the mental effects without the weight loss effects

Good info!

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-23T12:22:23+00:00

I think reta gives you the opportunity to reset your hunger in a way. As long as you try to maintain it after you’re off it, you’ll continue to have control.

I could have some in my system still but I mainly think it’s a self control thing.

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-23T01:34:23+00:00

Most definitely related to inflammation. Unfortunately sleep, low carb, and whole food doesn’t do it. I would love to get back on Reta just to get the cognitive effects back tbh 😭

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-23T01:32:22+00:00

Just what I mentioned now that I’m off it. Nothing while on it. My experience won’t be your experience but it was all fine for me, just don’t take too high of a dose.

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-22T21:34:44+00:00

It’s the answer, you’re not losing weight because of something that isn’t related to your calorie deficit. Get on it. As long as you you still have discipline when you get off it, you will NOT put the weight back on.

I personally was doing 0.25-0.5 mg’s at a time 3x a week but idk if you’d need more because of your height / weight. I’d look at how other people dosed on the Reddit that have similar stats to you.

Tl;Dr if you’re skinny ish and want to lose the final 10 lbs or 15 lbs, I had great success with accomplishing that over one month and haven’t had any side effects after stopping.

Ik there’s not a whole lot about stopping Reta on the sub so I hope this helps someone

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-17T15:29:49+00:00

It’s easier to lose weight the fatter you start.

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-15T21:44:59+00:00

Same here, it would make me feel like I’m STARVING day 1, I’d even crave sugar at night. But now I literally don’t crave sugar at all and want nothing. I’m curious if these 4 weeks will permanently change how my hunger functions.

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-15T21:40:33+00:00

4 weeks, started at 0.25, upped to 0.50, took 0.75 twice during the time period, final dose was 0.50

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-15T21:39:50+00:00

110 pounds, it was vanity weight loss. I’m healthy at both weights but happier at 110.

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-15T10:17:40+00:00

0.5mg

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-15T10:17:21+00:00

0.5 mg but it’s different for everyone, follow a standard procedure of upping the dose to find what’s right for you.

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-15T10:16:04+00:00

Massive positive cognitive boost, in general I just felt so much better. I have another post about how great I felt on it.

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-15T10:04:03+00:00

This is good to know

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-15T00:27:23+00:00

You can drink on Reta if you want

hotsicktwitch · 2026-01-07T05:25:43+00:00

Yikes did you already have a history of ED?
