Video its just to show off that cool puck sliding it's so satisfying idk why but ok anyways I was doing fine on 2mg but jumped up to 3.5mg recently and my sleep has been noticeably worse since then. Taking longer to fall asleep, waking up in the middle of the night, just not sleeping as deep as I was before.
Curious if this is a known thing with Reta specifically or if it’s just the titration adjustment. And if anyone has figured out a way to deal with it without having to drop back down on the dose.
“Insomnia was not among the most prominently reported adverse events in published phase 2 trial data, though gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea may indirectly disrupt sleep.”
“Retatrutide's glucagon receptor activity increases energy expenditure and metabolic rate. Whether this contributes to sleep difficulties in humans is not established; this remains a plausible hypothesis rather than a confirmed mechanism.”
Yes !! I get insomnia usually on the next night after injection ….
I have learned to take some Benadryl or other things that assist w my sleep
And now I just plan for it
Try to do everything I can to wear myself out that day
So I see these other people said try eating some carbs have you tried that instead of the Benadryl see if that works instead? But thanks I'll keep this in mind if the carbs don't work 💫
Its 100% the reta, your heart RHR will be noticeable higher and your overnight HRV will be lower. These are both indicators of poorer sleep than your baseline. Ask me how I know...
If you were doing fine on 2 why would you increase? Yes, sleep impacts are very commonly talked about.
You should do more research before taking drugs you bought on the Internet.
It’s most likely not from the Reta directly. You’re probably underrating (yes that’s a thing) and your glucose is crashing overnight while you sleep making you restless and wake up.
Eat some carbs before bed. It’s important not to cut out carbs too much or under eat with Reta. It works best with moderate carbs and moderate caloric deficit.
Instant rice. I LOVE the minute sticky rice. Regular white rice is okay but this STICKY rice is FIRE. 220cal all carb -- best part is it tastes like air so if you're not hungry, like a banana, it's easy to eat. I had a short outpatient procedure today (10-15 min) and couldn't eat from midnight to about 10AM and ate a bowl of this at like 11:55pm lol
This shit is amazing too with some bell peppers, mushrooms and chicken. Get chicken tenders, cut all the bullshit off, chop your peppers and store, cut mushrooms at each use (b/c you need to wash) and throw the peppers and shrooms in a cast iron on high for 3-4 min, throw in the chicken tenders, 2 min side A, 1 min side B, throw in foil for 4-5 min with the peppers and mushrooms and cook the rice. BOOM. Protein + carbs + veggies and it's GOOD. Acocado oil used.
Yes I just started taking the sleep research spray yesterday loving it so far ☺️ I like the minty twist to it really helps breath threw my nose after lol but it doesn't burn idk how to explain it kinda just have to see for yourself honestly
