Zero issues so far, though we're only 10 weeks into this research and still titrating up.Manchild said:
Any issues combining the two? Side effects? If you don't mind me asking, what do your dosages look like?TriDiddy said:
My wife started Tirz in October and reached the highest dose, and roughly 2 months back we added Reta for the glucagon effects. Working well so far. Plenty of people combine the two.UghItsStupidNIHateIT said:
Exactly the same boat here. Tirz works, yet Reta interests me a great deal. Apparently it burns fat more effectively. IdkManchild said:
This is absolutely some of the information I have been looking for since I started compound Sema, moved to peptide Tirz and began researching Reta. Why would I switch to Reta when Tirz is working has been my biggest question. No side effect to Tirz at all for me, which was great after Sema. The difference between Tirz and Reta was something I always wondered about, so thank you for that!b_rad80 said:
March is when this journey began, at 316 lbs., and 53 lbs. are already gone! That works out at an average of 2.8 lbs. per week. These medicines are amazing!
The switch to Reta started about eight weeks ago, driven mostly by FOMO from what I was reading. Tirz was doing fine for me, though at 7.5 mg some GI issues had appeared. With both in my system at once, the fat-burning and appetite suppression were amazing, and I can see why stacking the two appeals. Now that the Tirz has fully cleared, I'm definitely a little hungrier at times, though it still isn't what I'd call "food noise". The way I feel on Reta pleases me personally. So far I take 8 mg per week, split into two 4 mg doses on Thursday and Sunday, with no side effects at this level. Effectively I swapped out 1.5 mg of Tirz for Reta each week until only Reta remained. Around that time I started my father on Tirz, so it should work out well: he can work through my Tirz stash and I'll work through the Reta. Ordering will need looking into again soon, though, since I only ordered one kit at the start to experiment with. Now I realise I'll be sticking with this for a while!
Since March I've added GHK-Cu, NAD+, and MT1 too. The MT1 is clearly doing something: a nice little base tan has appeared after only short spells in the sun. Tanning has never worked for me! Normally the only two colors I can achieve are red and white again!September takes me to the Caribbean, so showing off the weight loss and the new golden color will be nice!
NAD+ does seem to give a small boost, though it could equally just be that I feel better without an extra 53 lbs to carry. Either way, I paid for it, so it gets used. Once it runs out I'll probably know whether the NAD+ was actually behind it.
Judging by what I've read on GHK-Cu, it hasn't been in my system long enough for the benefits to really show, so we'll see!
At 46, this isn't my first rodeo with weight loss. With these medicines helping, though, I genuinely believe this attempt will succeed and last! Finding this community to learn from has been such a blessing. Reading this forum has taught me a great deal, and I hope to pass along what I've learned to someone who needs it in the future!
She's on the max dose of Tirz, 15mg a week, prescribed by a Dr, and her Reta journey began at:
1mg for 2 weeks
2mg for 2 weeks
3mg for 6 weeks
4mg for the first week just started, all while keeping the Tirz at 15mg. Once 4-8 weeks at this dosage are done we'll re-evaluate. Should we take the Reta past the 4, I'd most likely lower her Tirz dose. That bridge can be crossed when we reach it I suppose.
