210 → 145 since March. Reta did the heavy lifting, now tapering off

Started at 210 in March, sitting at 145 now. About 65 down in 6 months.

Honestly the biggest thing for me was not letting the appetite suppression starve me. I forced myself to eat around 1600 a day even when I didn't want food at all. Lifted almost every day and did long runs on the weekends, got to the point where 10Ks on Sunday are just a normal thing now. My watch has my VO2max climbing basically every month, cardio is night and day from where I started.

I stack a couple other peptides but let's be real, reta was the driver here.

Maxed at 5mg, just dropped to 4mg and planning to be fully off by December. Kinda nervous about coming off but I feel like the habits are locked in at this point.

Pics are March vs this week.

Tren and Selank

May not be the right place to post this, so guide me elsewhere if I’m wrong for it, but has anybody tried using Selank for Trensomnia/Mania

I’ve been trying to read up on it to see if it could potentially help me, I’ve ran Tren about 3 times and I have only ever had slight paranoia or aggression never pushed it past 100mgs a week of Acetate just can’t handle it sleep wise, 75mgs a week keeps me up to no end I’m already and insomniac, and melatonin and trazadone do absolutely nothing for me. If anybody has any experience with this combo or anecdotes they’ve heard let me know.

  • AC-262 — 10mg

PRE-CYCLE (Oct 2025, no compounds)

Total Testosterone: 414 ng/dL

Free Testosterone (calc): 112 pg/mL

Estradiol (E2): 18 pg/mL

LH: 4.1 IU/L

FSH: 1.9 IU/L

SHBG: 19.1 nmol/L

Vitamin D: 114.0 ng/mL

ALT: 33.0

POST-CYCLE (July 2026)

Total Testosterone: 295 ng/dL (down 29%)

Free Testosterone (*calculated by Ai, different measurement unit from last doctor):

~74-80 pg/mL (down ~30%)

Estradiol (E2): 29.5 pg/mL (up 64%)

LH: 3.6 IU/L (down 12%)

FSH: 1.8 IU/L (down 5%)

SHBG: 17.0 nmol/L (down 11%)

Vitamin D: 32.8 ng/mL (down 71%)

I heard a lot about how AC262 has minimal side effects and practically no testosterone suppression. Blood markers are showing massive natural testosterone suppression while Estrogen remains elevated.

Symptoms: Currently include no motivation, fatigue even though I am sleeping atleast 8 hours every night, brain fog etc.

What should be my next step? All advice is appreciated.
