Reta Titration

Jimmymiro12 said:


Did my first dose of Reta on 7/12 and second on 7/19

Both were 0.5mg

Curious when do I know if I should titrate up? I’m down 6lbs from starting weight

No changes to diet, exercise etc

Thanks in advance

It's a very basic decision tree:

Do you want to lose more than 3 lbs a week? Titrate up. (NOT advised.)

You've lost 6 pounds and have 9 more to go. Stay at .5mg for the next 3 weeks and see how you go. 2 weeks of data aren't enough for titration decisions.

Did you go into this understanding that you may have to stay on reta long-term, now that you've started it? Taking GLP1 changes your metabolism profoundly. The likelihood when you go off them is that you'll regain at least some of what you lost; the regain will be faster than the loss; it will be mostly fat; and it will mostly go to your midsection.

I'd recommend focusing on how to discontinue the reta rather than on when to increase it. YMMV. Best of luck to you!

What? I take 18mg/week, 4.3 weeks in a month, my Reta cost using my cheapest denomination is $.23/mg… that’s less than $18/month. $37/month if I use my readily available R60 bought at retail pricing.
