Week 1 - 275 mcg 3x a week

Week 2 500 mcg 3x a week

Week 3 1mg 3x a week ( so far 2mg in )

During week 1 and week 2 caffeine gave me some anxiety but was manageable.

This week…… “Fuck me” is an understatement. More like.. take me out on a date talk to me nice and fuck me in the butt without Vaseline… look me in the eyes and tell me you love me and then never call me back.

had 100mg of caffeine this morning the C4 Tri Stim energy drink. It has two other compound in it ( idk what they do)

I usually drink this and I feel great!

My heart felt like it was beating out of my chest, breathing heavy as fuck, each set fucking drove my heart rate through the roof. I knew I had to stop it was scaring the shit out of me. But, everytime I stood still the energy overwhelmed me and I was about to pass out from a panic attack or some shit. So I went on the treadmill for an hour straight as I stared into the distance without blinking.

Side note: there is a tall girl like 6”7 in the treadmill next to me. She was hot. Wish I had the balls to talk to her. I’m 5”9. I want tall sons. Save my bloodline.

Anyways, I’m not working today so I knew I couldn’t sit still with all this energy. So I pushed through and did 4.5 hours of training today cardio and weight lifting. My weight training was within the proper volume. But probobly not the best idea.

I forgot that Reta increases your resting heart rate. So makes sense that the more Reta I take the more sensitive to caffeine I become.

No more caffeine for me.

Lesson learned.
 
Generalized anxiety disorder is more comprehensive.

Id drop any caffeine , alcohol or stims.

Absolutely more then just reta.

Anxiety is a menace.

Drop anything that may cause it.

Yeah, I did have generalized anxiety disorder for years. After trt it almost went away. I handled caffeine pretty decent before so you sure it’s more than just the Reta? And does anavar count as a stim?

Reta does raise heart rate quite a bit in some individuals, I know for me it raised it a good 15bpm. Went back down after a month or so. But you also titrated pretty quickly
 
Clinical trials have shown that retatrutide can raise resting heart rate by about 5–10 beats per minute. Make sure to keep your water and electrolyte intake high, and avoid doubling up on caffeine during the day. Start slow with Reta, as some people really feel the impact from the glucagon peptide.


I absolutely love Reta, and I’ve been running 1–1.5 mg twice a week (or even just 2 mg once a week) for the past year. I usually get only a slight bump in blood pressure. I train 4–5 days a week and sometimes have an energy drink or coffee in the morning, and I’ve never experienced side effects. I'm currently around 219, down from 245, and I’m not just using Reta as a fat-loss tool. I actually took a month off, and even though my appetite returned a bit, it helped rewire the way I eat and how I think about food. And personally, I think once a week shot of Reta is just fine.


Not sure about your age or health history, but if you’re concerned, a beta-blocker like nebivolol or an ACE inhibitor could be options. Most importantly, topping off electrolytes (especially magnesium) and staying hydrated is crucial for keeping blood pressure and overall health in check.


I’m not a medical expert, but that’s been my experience (I did stay at a Holiday in Express)

For sure, brother—some of my best workouts have actually been without caffeine. The only downside with Reta is that at higher doses (for me, anything over 2 mg—or even 1.5 mg depending on the source), it can impact the reward pathway and the mesolimbic dopamine system, altering the signaling environment. This can make you feel less motivated or reduce the sense of reward in certain situations... so people might grab more caffeine/stims.

Yeah deff have noticed this. I also think it has something to do with being on such a large deficit. I can’t imagine your body is so happy go lucky on such a steep deficit.

Thanks for the advice.
 
GLP1s are known to increase RHR. How has yours changed since starting?
 
I’d stay away from the caffeine or at least cut some out. I’ve been drinking coffee for 50 yrs so it doesn’t do much for me unless it’s a lot. I recently started the ECA stack, taking a break from Reta for 5-6 weeks and I can tell you, don’t use that unless you can tolerate the combination, thought my RHR was up good on Reta, really went up with eca.
