Hello everybody.

A guy in his prime, and pharmacy Wegovy on a doctor's prescription has been mine for a year. BMI 31 was the start, 26 was the finish. Eventually the loss stalled and the price turned unsustainable ($4,000 a year). So Reta and Tirz are being tested now. Swapping experiences with people who've used these peptides is what I'm after.

Wanting to look better is honestly the main driver behind any further weight loss, tbh.
 
Greetings, northern kinsman.

As long as the axes stay in the cloakroom, Vikings are welcome here.

Go ahead and test it out. Tirzepatid and reta will almost certainly feel handier to you than wegovy.

Regards

Hello all.

I'm a guy in his prime who’s been on doctor-prescribed pharmacy Wegovy for a year. Started at BMI 31 and ended at 26. The weight loss eventually stalled and the cost became unsustainable ($4,000 a year). So now I’m testing Reta and Tirz. Looking to swap experiences with people who’ve used these peptides.

Any further weight loss is probably mostly motivated by wanting to look better, tbh.

Why mix the two of them, wouldn't Reta + Cagri/Elora make more sense?

Personally I run reta/cagri and it works like a dream.
 
Hi there!

4.000???? 😲😳

I assume you're familiar with what bulk vendors charge...?

What's the actual reason people stack instead of just raising their Reta dose?

I combine them to keep side effects away.

Each week I take 0.7mg Cagri plus 1.6mg Reta.

If I push Reta up to 2-3mg, acid reflux shows up.

That's my reasoning for running a combo that acts on different parts of the body.

Got it, thanks! I have honestly never really read up on Cagri, but I also haven't had any side effects from Reta, so I doubt there's any point for me in stacking the two instead of just raising Reta if needed.
 
My experience is limited to tirzepatide. Roughly 2 months in, and so far it has been smooth sailing. Around 20 pounds came off, which suits me since I'm not hugely overweight and have a bigger build, though I'm also taking it for its anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective benefits.

There are affordable options out there worth looking into. What you spend on Wegovy in a year could cover several years of tirz or reta, depending on the dose you run.

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with the search!
