. Looking forward to exchanging what I've learned with everyone!
Tirz is what I'm sticking with at the moment. As far as reta goes, I'm still very much in the research phase. Have you ever tried reta?
What if you gave it a try instead and reported back on your experience? Thanks ahead of time for volunteering as the test subject, haha. (Kidding. Sort of.)
I've called Minnesota home my whole life. This state has plenty of reserved, understated folks with Scandinavian roots. If you join a welcoming progressive Lutheran congregation, you'll blend right in quicker than you'd expect

But honestly, it turned out to be a hidden gift! That's how I ended up finding these forums and STG!
Tirz is still on my plan, though things have kind of stalled at 7.5. Before I move up to 10mg of Tirz, I'm thinking about whether to bring Reta into the mix. What doses are you on for each, and how did you land on them?dancs said:

Back when I had Aetna, Tirz got approved for me. Then my employer changed us to Cigna and just like that, it vanished. Now I'm covering the whole cost out of pocket.
Tirz works well, though plenty of people have told me Reta changes everything. For me, I use both and the results have been great. No matter what tirz dose you're on at the moment, my suggestion is to begin with Reta 2mg and then bump it up through trial and error.
From what I understand, the top dose that's been "documented" these days is 12mg. Go beyond that, and you're stepping into what the FDA considers risky groundPomelo14 said:

Back then I weighed 246lbs at 6'1.5, with body fat around 20%.My coverage came through a standard employer-sponsored health plan. That said, I do believe Cigna served—and may still serve—as the TPA. For 21 years I worked for the biggest health insurance company in the US. The dirty little secret? The employer is the one calling the shots on executive and large financial matters...while the insurers get paid to "take the heat".dancs said:
