Started Reta 12 weeks ago at 1mg weekly, split into 2 injections. Then moved up to 2mg weekly, and now I’m on 4mg/week total — 2mg on Mondays and 2mg on Thursdays.

Honestly, I’ve felt very little appetite suppression the entire time, which has been pretty disappointing considering I’m already at 4mg now.

The main thing I have noticed is really bad heartburn/GERD. That’s honestly been the biggest effect for me so far.

Also, the reason I split the doses twice a week is because I get pretty bad injection site reactions. The spots get super itchy and irritated, so splitting it up seems to help a bit.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with weak appetite suppression but strong GERD symptoms?
