phase 2 doses are published and theyre not far off what people here run, coincidence rather than plan
#retatrutide 2026-05-08
- nhs_pathway_nell — sat at 10 for 4 months rather than climbing and it kept working, so i never went up, someone check my working 20:19
- apnoea_down_two — TRIUMPH is the phase 3 programme, thats the name to search rather than the molecule 22:35
- electrolyte_eli — i went up too fast, got a fortnight of nothing but nausea, and dropped back two steps 22:47
came off at 17 weeks because my resting rate stayed elevated and i didnt like it, not advice obviously
anyone stayed at 15 for months rather than climbing
back after 14 months, has anything actually been published since
held mine ages
is there any long term safety data at all or is it phase 2 and hope
anyone tracking blood pressure alongside the heart rate
Recon calculator: 20mg in 3ml = 2.5mg/ml.
right so triple agonist, GLP-1 and GIP and glucagon. the glucagon arm is the part with no long history
low and slow
is the glucagon arm what people mean by the energy expenditure thing
the half life supports weekly dosing and thats what ive done from the start
research use only is on every vial and i treat it as exactly that, nobody here is prescribing, thats just me
anyone reconstituting 30 vials to 2 so the steps come out smaller
held at 7.5 for 1 months and it never plateaued for me, which i cant explain, anyway
while im here how long before people saw the first change at 10
for the archive buying this is a completely different risk conversation from the licensed compounds and that gets said too rarely, thats just me
genuine question reconstituted the 20 vial to 4mg/ml specifically so i could take 1.7 without measuring crumbs
the purity spread across lots worries me more than the molecule does
GI was about the same as tirzepatide for me, the difference was how fast it arrived
lost 14kg over 5 months at doses well under what the trials used
is the phase 2 dosing anywhere near what people here run
TRIUMPH is phase 3
appetite suppression at 2 was stronger than my tirzepatide experience at a comparable point, thats one data point
*that should say weekly
my resting rate went up 5 bpm in the first month and came back most of the way by month 15
logging rhr daily
sat at 10 for 4 months rather than climbing and it kept working, so i never went up, someone check my working
no long term data
no idea whether the heart rate settles for everyone, mine did and one log isnt data
anyone compared their Medutest purity across two different SSA lots
whats a sensible starting point, im seeing everything from 0.5 to 2
did the phase 2 result actually come in higher than the tirzepatide numbers
blood pressure stayed flat for me while heart rate moved, which i didnt expect
i said 4 months ago that my heart rate had settled and it has stayed settled since
the glucagon arm is the mechanistic story for extra energy expenditure and its still a story to me
the honest position is this has less human evidence behind it than anything else discussed here
is TRIUMPH the phase 3 programme
people insist on small steps because the side effects arrive faster than on the other two
settled by month three
did the phase 2 plateau or was it still moving at the end
energy expenditure isnt something i could feel, though my sleep tracker disagreed with me
right so low and slow here means smaller steps than i ever used on tirzepatide, thats the received wisdom
stopped for 14 months and restarted at half my old dose, the ramp was easier second time
the purity spread across lots worries me more than the molecule does
stepping in 0.25 increments instead of doubling is the only thing i would change if i started again
is the GI worse than tirzepatide or about the same
[edited]does the glucagon arm explain the heart rate or is that unrelated
why does everyone insist on smaller steps here than on the other two
anyone logging resting heart rate on this
my resting heart rate is up about 4 bpm, did that settle for anyone
TRIUMPH is the phase 3 programme, thats the name to search rather than the molecule
glucagon is the new bit
i went up too fast, got a fortnight of nothing but nausea, and dropped back two steps
phase 2 only
