Tirz quit on me and Reta seems to boost my appetite — advice (or pizza 🍕) welcome

Right now I’m running Cagri alongside Tirz. At 5mg, the Tirz dose is still on the low side. You may have to titrate upward before you get stronger appetite suppression. While you wait, I’d put the emphasis on protein and foods that are lower in calories (I like to wilt spinach into an omelette).

Right, 5 mg is still on the low end, so the most sensible thing at this point is probably to stick with Tirz longer and move the dose up gradually.

Thanks for the tip, I do appreciate it! Truth is, at this stage eggs and spinach are something I can't even stand the sight of Still, your point about prioritizing protein and lower calorie foods is a good one, so thank you!

Haha, thanks! You're absolutely right — being surrounded by incredible food in Italy is its own kind of torture when you're trying to get appetite suppression figured out!

Hearing that 7 mg and 9 mg felt about the same for you is genuinely interesting. Dosing until I “hit the wall” is a tempting idea, lol.

Good to know YMMV really does apply this much here. Thanks for the insight and the laugh!

No worries at all!

Honestly, the Italian food where you are is probably far purer and more authentic than almost anything we get here in the states (or at least here in Wisconsin ).

Yeah, 9mg did work, and it might have given me that "full nudge" slightly sooner, but I've just stepped back down to 7mg... I had surgery, and that's when I tapered in the first place (I didn't stop, because f*ck that!...) but yeah, I do 3.5 mg x 2 times a week and I'm good.

I was never really big either (dropped 35lbs years ago with Cico), and my goal weight is at most like 15 pounds away... Unless you ask my mom... She's convinced I'm starving!! (Please don't tell my mom!!.. ).

Yeah, as I said, if you've got the means, you could simply "turn up the gas" until it hits like a sledgehammer, though that could backfire too.

Have a good one!

For many people, stacking cagri with tirz does the job. In my case, though, it drained my energy completely, so I rarely use it. Still, adding spinach to the omelette is a clever little trick.
