I didn't even take it to lose weight.

I didn't even take it to lose weight. I'm a size 4. I took reta for focus and energy because a podcast made it sound like a nootropic. nine weeks later my resting heart rate was 15 beats above baseline, my watch called every night's sleep "strained," and I was sweating through shirts sitting still. dropped 8.5% of my bodyweight I didn't want to lose and skipped a period. quit it. the one thing I'll say: two glasses of wine and I was hungover in three hours with zero buzz. so that's what finally made me understand how people get sober on these.
