Retatrutide duration

[kscowboy]

I know long term studies are really not out but how long are you running or how long are you plan on running retta? I am on my 8th week of retta and ran 1mg for 5 weeks then bumped to 1.5 and now about to bump to 2mg a week and plan on running that for 8 more weeks along with SLU. Probably be on it for 16-20 weeks. Thoughts?

Shouldn’t have any issues with 16-20 weeks. A lot of the glp are prescribed to morbidly obese people with the understanding they’ll probably be on it very long term

So if you’re not having any negative sides you could probably run it longer. That said, tolerance does seem to build in terms of hunger suppression losing its effect. From a bodybuilding perspective it could be good to cycle it and give your body a break and let things reset, plus it’s not always needed in every phase

I am at 1 year now no blood work problems

I am at 3.5 months dosing between 0.333-2.0mg per week.

Lean bulking now and lowering to 0.333 per week as the appetite suppression and increased TDEE is hindering gains IMO.

I’m a total newbie on the Retatrutide train but damn I am loving it!

The way I’m currently eating and training I should be a bit bigger fatter and with much less muscle definition and cuts

But my delts and pecs tricep/bicep separation tell a different story !

With Halotestin as my pre workout damn training sessions are on fire like an unstoppable freight train!

My GF is at a year and doing awesome. I will say that she used to like to have a Prosecco at dinner but it changed her taste for it. I know other women where they quit drinking wine because the taste turned on them.

Its too soon for anyone to really attest to the long term safety of these drugs - however whilst there are concerns around thyroid carcinomas with prolonged use In animal models, it's not evident if there is any risk in humans yet (although all bodies agree it warrants further investigation).

I would say however these drugs, in clinical settings, are designed for long term rather than cyclitic use - and doses we typically use in the sports community (1-5mg) are much lower than those anticipated clinically (10-15mg).

This suggests to me that the risks associated with extended use, whilst not non-existent, are low.

Losing all joy for things in life, really awesome. I'm sure that prosecco with dinner fucked all her gains!

Cutting alcohol /=/ losing enjoyment for everything.

They are now running studies - treating post heart attack victims with GLP's - I will take Tirz or Reta before I have an event

I basically use low dose to help bloodwork year round at this point.

I’ve been using reta for about 5 weeks, started at 1.2mg/week, am up to 1.8mg/week. Was doing EOD dosing, switched to 3x per week to try and mitigate the decreased hunger on my extremely high carb day 1x per week for this growth phase.

I’m hoping to be able to run 1mg per week year round through growth phases, so the plan is to build up to 3mg during fat loss specifically so that I DO get a tolerance to the hunger reduction so I can actually still eat during off season when I reduce it down to 1mg. When I just started at 1.2, I could barely handle my medium calorie days lol

It is my understanding that these drugs were not designed to be run until you get to your desired weight and then stop. There’s a maintenance dose. For me, there’s too many other positives that come with them to not take them in low doses.

The one who mentioned alcohol and a distaste, that isn’t surprising. Ive seen studies about these drugs being used to break addiction habits to drugs/alcohol.

It’s odd, they certainly play a bigger role psychologically than most of us have given them credit for.

I certainly feel somewhat…. Different. Not flat or empty, but almost…. Up, energetic. I can’t quite articulate it but I think I like the feeling. I’m also a recovering addict and it certainly has helped with my quitting vaping recently.
