Currently on 2.5 mg reta every 5 days. It works really well for appetite suppression for the first 2–3 days, but by around day 3 onward my food noise starts coming back pretty badly.

I’ve been thinking about adding cag because my main goal isn’t really more weight loss — I mainly want better/steadier control of food noise throughout the whole week.

For anyone who has experience using reta + cag together:

• Do you take them on separate days? If so, how far apart do you space them?
• What did you start cag at?
• Did you lower your reta dose when adding cag, and if so, by how much?
• Did cag help specifically with the food noise coming back toward the end of your reta cycle?
• Any side effects or things you wish you knew before combining them?

I’m especially curious about people who found reta worked great initially but seemed to wear off after 2–3 days appetite-wise.

Any experiences appreciated. Not looking for medical advice — mainly interested in hearing what schedules/doses people have personally used and how they tolerated it.
