[Discussion] can we stop arguing about regain until somebody posts a number
Been lurking in c/retatrutide for about 15 months and finally have something worth posting.
Short version: week 26, 15mg, and lowest effective dose is the bit I still cannot get a straight answer on. I have read the wiki, I have read the last 3 threads, and the answers split roughly down the middle.
What I actually want to know is whether the people saying it does not matter have measured it, or whether it is just repeated confidently. Happy to be told I am overthinking this — I probably am — but I would rather overthink it now than at week 32.
best — the order this archive was captured in
the 0.25mg dose works fine for 74 weeks of the month
the maintenance question changes at maintenance
regain after taper is expected, plan for it
Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.
This is correct. Weight variance is normal at maintenance.
Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
Crossposting this to c/glp1science because the people who need it are not reading this community.
Tried the lowest-effective approach. 7.5mg worked for 21 weeks, then cravings returned. 0.25mg was the actual floor.
dose-stretching experiences welcome, dose-stretching instructions are not
the maintenance question changes at maintenance
nobody posts about this part and it is the longest part
the 10mg dose works fine for 66 weeks of the month
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
the plateau is where the learning happens
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
Small correction: the trial was 18 weeks, not 11. Does not change your point but people will quote it.
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
weight moves within 12kg and that is normal
How long at maintenance?
regain is not a moral failing
dose-stretching experiences welcome, dose-stretching instructions are not
Three years on this site and the questions have not changed at all. Which is depressing or reassuring depending on the day.
Strongly agree. Lowest effective dose is a real discovery process.
Weight variance within what range?
Yeah, maintenance is the boring part and the important part.
the regain question changes at maintenance
