I noticed that on weekdays my appetite suppression while on reta is insane but on weekends it's only slightly effective I can easily eat outside of a deficit and I have a theory as to why:
Retatrutide might suppress appetite via peripheral satiety and delayed gastric emptying, but ADHD medications modulate central dopaminergic and noradrenergic pathways that determine whether those satiety signals are even mentally registered and acted upon.
I was only taking Concerta XL (methylphenidate) on weekdays.
Basically most fatties overeat due to feeling "mentally" hungry rather than physically, I noticed that while on Reta I would feel full maybe even nauseous but still want to eat.
That's a neurotransmitter issue not an appetite issue, ADHD meds like Adderall, Vyvanse, Concerta, Ritalin might be MORE effective than Reta at appetite suppression in some cases.
TL;DR ADHD meds mog GLP 1s at tackling mental hunger.
