Retatrutide diarrhea [Reta Users GTFIH]

[hasba1feuj]

what the actual FUCK

last friday, first time ever taking reta, i started with 2mg because thats the starting amount of most of the studies

for context : 183cm/6ft barefoot, 70kg skinny fat, body recomp objective

i pinned friday at 2pm, quick nausea during 1min then nothing the whole day

the day after, saturday i literally woke up because i was gonna shit myself, i went to the bathroom like 20 times having severe diarrhea

sunday yesterday and today were the same, im genuinely shitting 20+ times a day

im lucky i started reta on a 1 week school break, i literally can get out or i will shit myself

im thinking about lowering my dose to 1mg or splitting it 2 times 0.5 or 2 times 1mg and stay at 2mg

please who experienced that ? i knew that diarrhea was a common side effect but not that bad…

i dont know what to do, i CANT get out or i will shit myself

beside side effects reta is working well, maybe too well, i literally force myself to eat

Lower your dose asap jfl, i just pin 1mg whenever i notice the hunger come back

 

[chadpreetinthemakin]

Gets better over time , I had the same

yeah thats what i think i will do, do you think splitting 1mg to 0.5 2 times is better for side effects like this ? its pretty much the only that i got

Splitting the dose up 2x weekly is much better, i feel awesome on like 1.5-2mgs weekly of reta

Do 0.5mg 2x weekly and then titrate up, tbh idk how people tolerate more then 3 mgs weekly i was fat my whole life and am shredded on reta

horrible tbh

yeah i had this exact thing when i first started

reta slows gastric emptying a lot so food just sits there way longer than you are used to. if you eat a big meal especially high protein or beef late at night it can feel like it just stays in your stomach all night without moving

then when you wake up and drink water your body suddenly tries to move everything through at once and that is when the diarrhea hits hard. at least that was the case for me

it feels extreme at the start because your gut has not adapted yet and the drug is very strong on first exposure. for me it settled down once i stopped eating big meals close to bed and kept the last meal lighter and earlier in the evening. that lines up better with your circadian rhythm because digestion naturally slows during sleep so giving your body more time before bed helps a lot.

also 2mg first ever pin is not light really, but youll get used to it. some people tolerate it fine but clearly your gut did not. dropping to 1mg or even 0.5mg and letting your body adapt before going up again is way more sensible but ur alr on 2 so fuck it.

you should consider making sure you are hydrated and not getting electrolyte depleted too. your situation (2mg reta first time + diarrhea) is an ez way to be VERY dehydrated.

thanks for all the informations, i will definitely take your advices into consideration
i went down to 0,5mg this week, felt nothing so im pinned another 0,5mg today, i will probably stay at 1mg weekly because i think its the right dose

you are right, 2mg is crazy i was gonna throw up just because of the smell of food

btw do you guys eat all your macros on reta ? it looks pretty hard to do tbh
@bosnian @chadpreetinthemakin @sherry12

this is what i try to eat on reta ( i mix it around a bit but this is generally it ) and i struggle to eat over 1300kcal in a day on 2mg rn.

i think it would be easier if i had breakfast earlier instead of like 11am.

Impossible for me tbh. Or at least it used to be. I just stopped caring about macro tracking and just try to make all my meals healthy enough. Still seeing good growth

 

[hypertrophic]

i was going up from 1 mg to 2 mg over the course of a month then i noticed on my injection day i felt rather hungry, like the halflife was wearing off, so i started pinning every 6 days. big mistake. pinned 2 mg and i started getting morning stomach aches and would randomly have the burning desire to shit, or ill b farting sometime throughout the day and ill genuinely almost shit myself

I don't track anything at all but I've been using reta for some time now fluctuating between 2-2.5 mg around there seems to be the sweet spot for me personally.

lmfao since you're not an obese fat fuck, pin less. reta is an obesity injection so trials are mainly aimed at fat lards who's bodys function diff jfl start at 1mg then titrate up .5mg

nope, I quit smoking weed and I’m on 2.5mg so at the minute i literally cannot eat more than 1400kcal a day.

I’m upping my butter and whole milk intake to try and preserve muscle mass.
