You’re asking the wrong person about sleep it’s my super power! I can sleep anytime anywhere. I have developed methods that allow me to do that though. One of the more important things to learn is to quiet the “monkey mind”. Another is being aware of tension anywhere in the body and being able to relax that and become a noodle. That goes along with the monkey mind thing
Acclimation is not like falling off a cliff and landing on, hey! I’m acclimated! certain aspects will change/normalize as you go along the path.
Elevated heart rate and disrupted sleep are incredibly common with all the GLP meds, so if anything I’d use the above as reassurance that you got the real thing. Most people do acclimate over time and find that the pros outweigh the cons. I find that taking magnesium taurate before bed helps me, but others have other tricks that work for them.
I did. Went from 5mg tirzepatide to retatrutide 2mg for 2 weeks, then 4mg for the next 2 weeks. I felt No need to titrate down tirzepatide gradually since I would be doing that naturally anyway, and it takes roughly to get it out of your system. I did gain weight during that time, then started losing again at 4mg retatrutide.
This is why I cannot take that website and it’s so-called “rankings” seriously. Their "top " sellers are single vial vendors, which happen to be :
10x more expensive to buy from
much harder to test the quality of, because to actually test what if you got was the retatrutide, you would have to send the vial you received for testing.
Makes absolutely no sense to me. You’re not actually safer buying from these sellers. Vendor COAs are not the be blindly trusted since you cannot guarantee with absolute certainty that what’s on the COA is what you’re receiving.
They don’t use vendor COAs. You send a vial to Finrick and they send it to a lab of their choice to have it tested at no cost to the sender (other than sacrificing a vial). Whether or not any given lab can be trusted is a different matter, since they use various labs which don’t necessarily have a great reputation.
At least ask your oracle to provide sources and papers. Considering we don’t have phase 3 data yet for retatrutide, I’m curious what was used to make thw conclusions about some of these categories.
Yeah, ChatGPT pulls from pretty much anywhere including places like Reddit, right? I don’t trust anything it says for questions like this. Like was said, garbage in garbage out.
ChatGPT was just one answer to the question but generally many seem to want to switch to Reta and I’m curious why? For weight loss it makes sense but it’s less clear to me on longevity esp given Reta is not FDA approved and seems to cause more HR elevation and arrhythmia risk.
What are some of the reasons folks switch from Tirzepatide to Retatrutide?
The most common reason I’ve seen for people switching to reta (aside from improved weight loss), is improved tolerability. Fatigue is relatively common with semaglutide/tirz, not so much with reta. Arrhythmias, at least in the phase 2 study, aren’t much of an issue with reta except at the higher doses.
Slightly more weight loss maintained at relatively lower dose (BMI 27 on 14mg Tirz vs BMI 24.3 on 10mg Reta).
Less often feel too cold
Wake at night less often
Interested in eating now, but feel full quite quickly so end up eating less of any given meal. With Tirz I might forget to eat a meal but also might still over eat if dining out for example; with Reta all the meals are simply less food and over eating is less likely.
Objective measures:
No lab results negatively impacted, several positively impacted toward levels associated with healthspan and longevity. I test a great many markers (Fitomics makes it relatively affordable). If you have any particulars ti ask about let me know.
** A1c From 4.7 to 4.5 (4.9-5.1 without any GLP at higher weights)
** Lower triglycerides (42-53mg/dL on Tirz, 32-38mg/dL on Reta)
** APOB unchanged
** Non-HDL down (from low 70s to 53)
** hsCRP down (from avg 0.50 to <0.15)
** Uric acid slightly up from low 4s to 5.8, slightly less optimal but still normal range)
** Homocysteine down (avg 11 to 9.1, my optimization target is <9)
195 to 180 pounds
waist from 36.5 to 34.5”
Maintained lean muscle mass
Resting Heart Rate: slightly elevation while increasing dose, but quite slight (67 vs 71 BMP) and returned to baseline after three months (68 BPM).
Gray market pricing for both has decreased recently. Currently have 3 years of Reta doses in the freezer.
I’ve seen some complaints here that he hasn’t been shipping lately or maybe this only applies to rapamycin orders to the U.S. Have you ordered from him recently? I haven’t placed an order in over a year. Sometimes I buy items I prefer not to have on my medical record.
