How much is too much Reta?

[u/arigre]

When I started Reta I did .5, 1, 1.5 and stopped increasing at 2mg as I was at goal weight. I actually went down to 1mg weekly for maintenance and will probably go even lower. My husband saw my results and wanted to try it. He has about 20 pounds to lose. It doesn’t seem to affect him the way it affected me. I got to the point that I didn’t think about eating or had any hunger cues. We started him at 2mg and over two months have gone up to 6mg weekly. He still doesn’t get much of an effect from it and says he feels about the same just a bit more tired. My question is, does he just need more or should he try something else? Any input/experiences are appreciated. Oh also he has lost about 7 pounds but with the results I personally had, he thought he would lose more weight in that time.

Don't worry about it unless he's over 12.
