I've been using retatrutide and wanted to get some feedback from people who have more experience with it. Currently, I'm on 6 mg/week. Looking back, I'm wondering if I increased the dose too aggressively by moving from 2 mg to 6 mg too quickly. Since reaching 6 mg, I've noticed several issues: - Significant appetite suppression - Increased fatigue - Poor workout performance and recovery - Lower overall energy levels throughout the day I'm also starting to think my carbohydrate intake may be too low because I don't feel energetic during training sessions anymore. One thing I've observed is that I'm rarely hungry during the day. If I do get hungry in the afternoon, I'll usually have a Diet Coke or coffee, which completely kills my appetite again. For dinner (usually around 10:30–11:00 PM), I force myself to eat either: - ~300 g boneless chicken, or - ~350 g cottage cheese Along with 2 scoops of whey protein. However, I started noticing that my sleep quality was getting worse. My theory was that the large protein intake late at night might be affecting something hormonally. Over the last four days, I've stopped taking whey protein with dinner, and my sleep has noticeably improved. The strange thing is that I'm still feeling sleepy during the afternoon. Current protocol: - Retatrutide: 6 mg/week - BPC-157: 500 mcg on alternate days I also have: - TB-500 - GHK-Cu (used it for about 3 months and have since stopped) My questions are: 1. Did I increase retatrutide too aggressively? 2. Would it make sense to reduce the dose or even stop it for 1–2 weeks? 3. Should I get blood work done before making changes? 4. Has anyone experienced similar fatigue, appetite suppression, recovery issues, and sleep changes at higher doses? 5. Would adding something like MOTS-c or tesamorelin make sense here, or would that just complicate things further? At the moment, I'm a bit confused about whether this is simply too much retatrutide, inadequate nutrition (especially carbs), or something else entirely.
