GLP-1: Weight Loss & Plateau (Anonymous Report) #792
I turned to GLP-1s to fix a metabolism wrecked by an ill-advised growth hormone protocol. Severe insulin resistance hit overnight, spiking my HOMA-IR and making me terrified of clean carbs. Semaglutide helped initially, then stalled. What no one told me is that prior GLP-1 exposure means Retatrutide requires much higher starting doses. I lost months of frustration and serious money on low titration doses feeling zero effect until finally hitting 6 mg. Still, seeing 95 kg frozen on the scale is mentally exhausting. I run CJC/Ipamorelin to protect muscle, but water retention masks progress. Balancing fasts, night pins, and metabolic healing feels isolating when people only talk about easy drops. If you're stuck on a plateau after prior GLP-1 use, don't lose hope—you're not alone.
