It's a very basic decision tree:Jimmymiro12 said:
Did my first dose of Reta on 7/12 and second on 7/19
Both were 0.5mg
Curious when do I know if I should titrate up? I’m down 6lbs from starting weight
No changes to diet, exercise etc
Thanks in advance

Do you want to lose more than 3 lbs a week? Titrate up. (NOT advised.)
You've lost 6 pounds and have 9 more to go. Stay at .5mg for the next 3 weeks and see how you go. 2 weeks of data aren't enough for titration decisions.
Did you go into this understanding that you may have to stay on reta long-term, now that you've started it? Taking GLP1 changes your metabolism profoundly. The likelihood when you go off them is that you'll regain at least some of what you lost; the regain will be faster than the loss; it will be mostly fat; and it will mostly go to your midsection.
I'd recommend focusing on how to discontinue the reta rather than on when to increase it. YMMV. Best of luck to you!
