How many people have tried retatrutide and what was your experience?

After 6 weeks on Reta and stopping completely, my ghrelin spiked and dopamine was disrupted—not sure if others had this.

Ghrelin spike for sure

It appears you are correct.
When my results came in i did a quick search. I just remember it saying that it was bad and my hunch about taking them prior to bloodwork was correct. I thought the opiates made it worse. I really didnt check if its worse with codiene.
I was always told that taking any opiate drugs would cause organ injury, so usually i stayed away from them unless in bad pain.

I shoudlve checked first before adding in especially with opiates without the facts.

Thanks for rectifying it for all of us.
I know it comes from a good place with you, no worries about that at all. And i actually really appreciate it. Better education is always appreciated on my end.

Thanks for the comments. There are good and bad doctors. I have been flat lied to about blood results, issues and told there are none (one doctor, when I was very naive, prescribed a medication for flight or fight/and I had no anxiety/stress, but the doctors could not figure out what was going on, and told me it was an antihistamine.) Multiple times my eyes were opened when other doctors I was referred to were open and said this is not an antihistamine and shook their head, or our blood work indicates you had a massive spike in lymphocyte count by 4 fold the highest of norm, and then a year of lymphopenia and another abnormality. I had to see an infectious disease specialist in another province to learn this. My distrust for the medical system grew and I started to buy medical books, naturopathic books and read. Asked for copies of all reports and ask to sit down and review the report with the doctor and we both have a copy.
Some doctors/like mechanics/or any other profession are not competent. My point is doctors are worried about their opioid scripts being counted, which they are, and creating addictions. Just think of Oxycontin and doctors being told by the reps it was less addictive than other opioids when it was more. Multiple documentaries about the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma and their reps saying it wasn't addiction, it was more breakthrough pain/patients needed more, so they kept creating increasingly higher dosed pills.
Anyway, doctors will lie and tell you why they won't give you opioids even when they are required and the safest option. They will prescribe Toradol which is a non addictive NSAID used for moderate to severe pain, but is so strong and harsh on the body it is not for use past 5 days and only after non oral route of administration. My doctor prescribed two months worth to me and the pharmacy filled it. Not only is it stated on the pamphlet you should not use this unless you are started on IV first and then move to oral for a very short course, I was just given oral at first.
By this time I was reading from medical books. I want doctors to be my friends but I did lose my temper with this idiot.
The stories end on the laziness and stupidity of some doctors. This lady became our Provincial Chief Medical Officer which is pretty scary. I had a scope to check my stomach, and then sent home. Within a few hours, my entire body hurt and I checked my temperature and it was very high. Luckily, I wasn't alone and was taken back to the ER.
I told her I was scoped, the medical equipment must have been contaminated and I was getting sepsis. An extremely serious issue if left to the point your organs enlarge. It is a very serious infection. Anyway, she said to me and my girlfriend who took me in that it must be a coincidence and I got the flu on the same day and was ready to discharge me. I won't say the doctors name, but thank fuck he walked by and stopped. At the time, he was considered the senior ER doctor and said he had a procedure today and may have an infection. He is also a friend.
I was admitted and given IV antibiotics - given Levaquin for two days and Toradol for the pain. I refused the Toradol as I did not want more stress on my organs and the nurses said that is all the can offer me as the prescribing ER doctor was now off shift. Again, BS - another doctor has to take over my care. Anyway, Levaquin is probably the only antibiotic that has 99-100% oral bioavailability so they were able to release me and prescribe oral for another 7 days.
Had I known what I know now about quinolone toxicity and tendon issues, as I played contact sports and lifted at the time - I would have told her to pick another antibiotic. Fluroquinolones are great antibiotics but in many countries can only be prescribed if no other antibiotic will work as a few pills can take a perfectly health/active person and destroy their lives (just look up quinolone toxicity syndrome which is disabling and can be permanent). I was lucky and was not one of the people who had any side effects. Cipro is handed out like candy for urinary tract infections, and I know two friends who are now on disability and their lives are destroyed because they took a few pills.
Anyway, sorry I am ranting about doctors but everyone should do their research as there are often safer choices. Do not take every doctor's word as gospel.
I could list multiple other fuck ups/doctors either incompetent or lying hence I recommend everyone research everything and keep their own medical file.
Rant done lol.
