Retatrutide is incredible in a mind altering way. I know 4 people on it, including myself. And all just love the way it makes you feel. You just don’t want to eat as much and you want to eat healthier. As far as I can tell, that is it. While I’m nervous there could be long term side effects, I think the health benefits of being at a healthy weight mean that for probably 50% of the developed world they would benefit from it.

Looking forward to more formal studies though!

Maybe it will turn out to be an antidepressant as well. That would be quite a coup.

How is everyone purchasing Retatrutide at this moment? It's still in phase 3 trials, and I keep hearing of people being on it. Not really seeing safe options with proper lab testing.

Other pharmaceuticals at the phase 3 stage (such as Buntanetap for Parkinson's disease) are super difficult to get, even with the right to try exemption in the US.

I tried semaglutide and while it was effective for losing weight, it made working out impossible (felt exhausted and very sick as soon as hr went up) and it made hangovers awful. Is retatrutide any different?

Does it alter you mind more than just your appetite for healthy food like you said? Is there a buzz or general mood lift as well?

Unfortunately, my experience with tirzepatide doesn't make me hopeful: It either gave me terrible diarrhea and sulfur burps, or it did nothing at all, even on 15mg. Hopefully retatrutide is different, but I'm not holding my breath.

It did work for around two weeks, though, and it was great. I constantly felt mildly carsick, so I didn't really want to eat anything, but also didn't have much trouble eating my macros.

Now that the drug has shown you what a more appropriate portion is, do you think you can manage that on your own without the drug?
