Coming off of Reta!
I have only managed 6 weeks on Reta and I’ve frustratingly had to come off of it. I titrated up slowly over 6 weeks up to 1.5mg which I know is still a low dose but the side effects have been unbearable and I’m no longer able to just “push through” it. I didn’t have any appetite suppression, in fact, quite the opposite, I’ve put half a stone on and the constant distended bloating was the icing on the cake for me.
I literally would wake up every morning looking 6 months pregnant, it didn’t matter if I had a bowel movement everyday, exercised, or avoided foods that trigger bloat, and by the end of the day I looked like I was ready to give birth. The pain from the bloating completely radiated through my back, the pain and discomfort has been extremely depressing.
I am just so disappointed because hundreds of you rave about how well it works for you…I very much feel like “why not me” 😩 So I’m going to have to try and find the money to go back on mounjaro as this massively helped with any inflammation I had. I just feel so disheartened, has anyone else had to come off of Reta due to unbearable side effects without having any benefits?
