Yessir! I am using 12mg per week.
I started with tirzepatide January 2023. Got to the full 15mg dose in several months. Stayed there for a long time. Then added Reta in somewhere in early 2024. Was doing some of each.
Tirz worked incredibly well to control my BG on high GH. However, I felt like I experienced a bit of lethargy on it and based on my blood ketone levels, it appears to be anti ketogenic.
I run a weird modified ketogenic diet most of the time when I’m not eating like an asshole around the holidays. So, I decided to give Reta solo a shot.
I escalated pretty quickly on Reta solo because I definitely had cross tolerance from tirz. Don’t copy me on that lol.
What have I experienced with Reta? It took longer for the appetite suppression to kick in than I expected but it’s definitely there. Very comparable to tirz, in a somewhat different way.
I don’t get as much reduced gastric motility on Reta compared to tirz which I love. I do get a bit more heart burn / acid if I eat shitty though, but that’s really rare. Reta appears to be pro ketogenic; my ketone levels are elevated more so than not being on any GLP1. I don’t get the same lethargic feeling I was getting from tirz. I can pass up food much easier on either drug. Less food focused altogether.
That’s a pretty quick summary / run down of my experience. Lmk if you’ve got any other questions!
