Hi everyone. Glad to be part of this.
I'm a man, 48 years old, based in Sweden. My entire adult life has involved struggling with extra weight.
Since November 2025 I've been working on losing fat while gaining muscle. So far the scale shows a drop of 26kg / 57.3 pounds. Right now things have plateaued because I'm simultaneously adding muscle. Tirzepatide (mounjaro) has been part of my routine from day one, but I've made the call to move over to reta — tirzepatide has simply become far too expensive, and it makes little sense to keep paying that when reta is available, works better, and costs less. Once my final mounjaro pen is used up, I'll begin reta at the same time. Based on what I've read, a common way to transition between the two involves reducing tirzepatide gradually while introducing a small reta dose alongside it, so my plan looks like this:
Week 1:
Tirzepatide 10mg + 1mg reta.
Week 2:
Tirzepatide 7,5mg + 1mg reta
Week 3:
Tirzepatide 5 mg + 2mg reta
Week 4:
Tirzepatide 2,5mg + 2mg reta
Week 5:
4mg reta
My system is already accustomed to tirzepatide and I haven't experienced any significant side effects.
Looking forward to meeting people here, and any help or guidance for my journey would be genuinely appreciated. Thanks!
