Alternative schedules
First, I know this is all trial and error at this point so I’m just looking for ideas of what others have done.
I started Reta at .5mg once per week for four weeks. I increased to 1.0mg for a week and didn’t really notice any changes, the second week at 1.0mg however was intense. I experienced major food aversions and didn’t want to eat anything at all.
Obviously I need to be able to eat so I’m looking into other options for dosing.
I could drop back down to .5mg and take it maybe every 5 days instead of 7.
Drop to .75 mg to see if it’s a better spot with being able to eat something.
Keep it at 1.0 but dose every 10 days instead of 7.
What alternative schedules have you tried?
The 6 doses I’ve had have caused me to drop 15 pounds or maybe a little more so far and my goal is only to drop 30-35 ish.
