Hey y'all, I figured I'd post a quick introduction since I'm new here. 32 year old guy, living in the southeast US. My Tirz journey began near the end of March, using one of those widely advertised online providers. I kept with it until the first vial ran out at the end of April. Ordering more from that provider became a struggle, so I went several weeks without any doses.
A friend mentioned Reta to me, and after looking into it fairly thoroughly, I made the decision to change over and located a source. Since early May I've been on Reta, roughly 7-8 weeks now, and the results have been good. I likely moved up in dose far too quickly because I was impatient, going from 2mg at the start to 8mg at present. From the phase III trial data available now, I understand the greatest results appear in the 9-12mg range. Things were fine side-effect wise until I went from 4mg to 8mg, and a slower increase probably would've been wiser, as that's when nausea and fatigue appeared, though it stayed quite manageable. Before that, the only thing I suspected was the occasional insomnia, but since I've dealt with that before, I didn't pay it much attention.
Naturally, weight loss is what everyone wants to know about. At my heaviest, I was around 395 pounds. Through diet changes and traditional weight loss attempts, I managed to get to roughly 370. That's when I began Tirz, and on it I got down to about 355, though missing doses brought some of that back. I started Reta at around 365 pounds, and now I'm at about 325. There's still a long road ahead, but I'm absolutely enjoying the progress so far.
