Skin sensitivity on Reta

[Flexforfun]

Has anyone else experienced skin sensitivity on Reta? I seen someone talk about it on another forum. I didn’t know anyone other than me had dealt with that side effect.

I started Reta 6 weeks ago. I had just returned from a vacation so I chalked it up to being sun burnt but after about 2 weeks I realized it wasn’t that. It’s very very mild now (almost unnoticeable) but I remember it being rough for like the first 2 weeks. It was all over, not localized unlike you

Common for GLPs.

Reta, yes, each time i increase the dose
Allodynia or something.
Goes away once u stay on it after awhile.
Comes back when u increase it again.
Feels the worse on my back.

Common among glps i think

It is a uncommon but possible side effect of Reta. My wife had it before switching back to Tirzepatide.

Had it a bit on tirz, significantly more on reta.

It's let me run my house a few degrees warmer, so I'm saving on electricity!

I heard it goes away with time but I'm still feeling it after a month though less intense either from getting used to it or it actually going away

Wrong forum for this. There’s a GLP forum

 

[lilchikin]

dang i thought this was from my beef liver supplements giving me too much vitamin a

 

[glitchwrinkle]

I had it on one of my legs for like a week. It went away.

 

[Jimmy-Biggles]

I had it, and it was unbearable!!
Came off for 11 days till it went. Now microdose daily and it’s been fine

I had it for over a month without subsiding, eventually I dropped my dose and it went away in just a few days. It was horrible, i couldn't enjoy my gf's petting and massage and wanted to rip off my clothes to avoid touching lol.

more baby oil might be the answer....

Haha you just don't want to be touched by anything, not even baby oil. Just let your skin untouched to breathe.

Dude same. My wife loves rubbing my head so would just do it without thinking and I would immediately jerk away in pain

I have a thread on this, but with triz. Seems to be side effect of the GLP's that some people experience more than others.

Had it for a few days than it just went away

 

[Stubb]

Yes but only when pushing the dose up towards the 10mg a week range. I had to drop it in half for it to stop. It was the only side effect I had from it too. Apart from shitting myself that one time.

I'm at 10 months on reta and I still get it, so I wouldn't necessarily assume it will just go away with time. Seems like it does for most, but not all.

It definitely has been the worst when increasing dosages, though, before dropping back down to a more baseline level.
