I’ve heard this before w glp’s. Reta in particular. Everyone is different. Tirz might treat you better.

Dammit man. And that's the only compound you're on currently? That's wild/scary

Anhedonia is a pretty well known side effect of Reta (all GLPs but Reta seems to have a higher instance at least anecdotally not sure if it’s also shown higher in studies).

It seems to be 50/50 on whether it resolves on its own or not. Some folks have said they just pushed through and it went away after a few weeks but some said they just never seemed to snap out of it.

Luckily I’ve yet to hear of anyone still suffering from it after cessation (many even lower the dose and feel better).


You said you’ve been on a while though and it’s recent. How long have you been on and how long have you been feeling this way? I’d be curious to see if it’s the Reta or if it’s something else. From my understanding it usually occurs fairly quick when someone titrates up in dosage not something that just shows up several months into the same dose (not saying it can’t).

I know I had some periods of depression back on 2 but it was because I went so low in my calories I was just fried. Upped my calories and it went away. At 4mg now and still fine unless I go to low food wise

It's a known side. Freaking scary and have seen it often the last 6 months with all the use. My anecdotal experience with dozens of people is it seems to happen more with people with more drive that have a lot of interests and conscientious work wise. Unless you are obese, get off these GLP's. One of many sides that are getting more well know with the higher volume in use which makes sense. More case studies.

Damn, sorry to hear this, like others have said, scary! Outside of the first time I used Ozempic to lose weight. I was 250 , I’ve never ran any GLP1 longer then 8 weeks since, nothing that I knew or heard, just what I did. I hope you get over this soon and get back to your old self.

This is actually an interesting observation. I have always struggled with major ADD/executive dysfunction prior to Reta and after getting on Reta I’ve noticed a much greater drive and decisiveness.

Come home from a long day and the house is wrecked? Whelp no time to relax I’ll do it NOW vs I’m fucking tired and will do it later.

Im curious if it would have had the opposite effect if I already had a lot more drive and motivation prior. Not so say I didn’t have ANY drive (I mean dropping 60lbs before that did take some) but nowhere near friends of mine who just seemed to be a machine when it came to goals

I’d stop it then. Or taper back and see if that helps.

No point in running something if it’s going to be counterproductive to your goals and quality of life. What I’ve seen is people finding it resolves within a couple weeks of stopping (but usually they’re in the 6mg range so it takes longer to clear fully).

Give yourself credit for being self-reflective and realizing it was happening. You did the right thing by wanting to get off. Will be in your system for a while, but you'll be all good soon. Stay positive.

Ya I'm completely coming off it I'm not one of those people who think we'll it's working so good just lower the dose it may fix it I see unwanted side effects I drop the compound

Personally, that was the worst side effect for me. You nail it on the head: as long as you are aware that lack of interest/joy is tied to rta you just need accept and adopt to it temporarily. Not taking care of obesity will lead to far scarier results.
That's a great topic your brought up buddy, mental health is crucial.
