First DNP Cycle

[cali96]

Whats up guys. Starting a DNP cycle July 6th as follows

Days 1-4: 250 mg crystalline ed
Days 5-17 500 mg crystalline ed
After that off for hopefully ever depending on results

I am 20 y/o 6' 3 202 lbs right now. rough guess I would say 21-23% bf will post pics on first day
I plan on taking NO support supps. Just 2 gal water per day, 1-2 cups v8, 25 mg ephedrine and 200 mg caffeine and a bj's multi so i guess 3 support supps actually LOL. Again, this is my first cycle but I think I can handle it. I will get nutrients and electrolytes through food and drink. eating at 2500 cals 50/30/20 macros. clean foods greek yogurt, oats, brown rice, sweet potatoe, chicken, honey, fruits veggies.

Will be back on 7-6-2016 to begin the daily updates

GOALS when it is all said and done: 188lbs and 15% bf or less

I read your thread with great interest since I am documenting case reports of PN.

Where you medically diagnosed with PN? Did you have any numbness or pins & needle type feelings alongside the pain in your wrists/feet?
I ask because nerve regeneration, what the recovery process involves, takes a LONG time and considering your rapid recovery I doubt you actually had PN - you did the right thing anyway by stopping the cycle just in case.

You did suffer an allergic reaction to the DNP and this is on rare occasion accompanied by joint pain (aka arthritis). Both of these side effects dissipate fairly rapidly once the cycle is stopped and it does seem to be a more fitting description of your situation (unless I'm missing any extra details?).

PN is one of the more serious risks that people do need to be aware of - it is not a joke, it is painful and it takes months/years to recover from.
There are no proactive measures that can be taken to safeguard against it and it is NOT the same as diabetic PN (different MOA, less severe in nature).
It does not seem to have a dose, or time, dependent relationship with regards to when it will pop up.

The overall MOA involved is up for debate. I do find it interesting that both the reports of PN and allergic reactions in general are much higher now than in the 30s.
Then when we consider that the researchers were cautioning people about the difficulty of procuring DNP at a high enough purity...well...I suspect that may have something to do with all of this. Just a guess mind you.

I'll add that if a user suffers from an allergic reaction then an antihistamine, front loaded or not, isn't going to help much. I know many users who went antihistamine crazy and yet the allergic reaction got stronger & stronger.
The only thing to do is simply STOP the cycle completely and THEN begin treatment.

I was not medically diagnosed with PN no, the symptoms only really came on fully after my ER visit. The pain was not an arthritis pain at all, so who knows what it was if not actual PN. I do know it was a severe, burning and simultaneous bruising type pain. After being on my feet for a few seconds to take a piss I would lay back down and be completely overtaken by it. Like walking on hot asphalt while dropping something heavy on my foot is the best way I can describe it. Nothing like arthritis pain is supposed to be.

Edit: and yes the burning pain was accompanied by an extremely uncomfortable pins and needles sensation.

Interesting. Thanks for the additional details.

So at the airport right now waiting to head home on my flight. First dose clming tomorrow. Will update on weight as I have probably gone from 201 -> 215ish after 4 straight 7,000 calorie days Time to get to work
Also I will most likely change my mind over course of cycle and depending on sides and what not go up to 30 days at 200 or 400 mg

Please post a picture before you die, thanks.

Red and black boxers are at 202 lbs 35.8 inch waist from 7-1-16. Blue boxers are post vacation 212 lbs 36.5 inch waist. Just took first dnp pill with breakfast. Will post about day 1 tmrw. Continuing log at Upcoming DNP log since 2 logs that are the same seems like a waste of time

 

[fodsod]

I've run DNP at 400mg for 10 days with a few sides and some decent fat loss. It's just a tool that you can use to jump off a contest diet or a cutting cycle. Have reasonable expectations and don't be a retard about it and it'll be fine.

Then again, everyone is different and it may kill you.

Ok I actually will update both forums as UG was having some issues and I'm locked out of my account now. Just took my pill for day 2. day 1 was a breeze as expected. No night sweats no heating up when eating carbs no nothing really which makes sense for day 1. The only thing I noticed was an increased sweat at the gym but i sweat like a pig anyway and this increase could have been due to all the water i was holding from my vacation. for the most part i wont step on the scale until the end but if i look lean one day even with all the water i may check my weight or post progress pics if a significant difference occurs

 

[cali96]

Day 2: Again took 1 pill with breakfast. Still feel like I did last week. No sweating at night, no insomnia (best nights sleep I've had in 2 weeks), no sweating in general besides at the gym. Putting down 2 gals H2O easy so dnp is not suppressing my thirst.... yet. Only real difference is my stomach fat is softer and more "jiggly" since I have started. See you all tomorrow

 

[cali96]

day 3: crushed legs. still hitting the gym with high intensity and heavy weights. nothing new to report on still no sides

 

[cali96]

Day 4: kicked 400 mg's ass yesterday. Decided to step on scale to see if I'm like the loggers who hold water and stay at the same weight or like the people who drop day by day. I was 205.8. I'm happy but I know so far it is nothing special since I was holding all that water and full glycogen levels from vacation. But still a good sign and I think I'll hop again tomorrow just to see if I trend down or start to hold water like some others. Final note: very strict on my diet since FL got all my cravings out of way. Have eaten at 2500 cals every day so far with an average of 47 g F 345 g C 175 g P. About 130-150 g sugar and I do not feel any lethargy so far. Loving it!

Day 5: If things stay like this I will definitely lengthen the cycle to ~28 days. If it wasn't for the neon yellow piss while drinking almost 2.5 gallons of water daily or the even bigger stomach I have now than post vacation I would be wondering if this stuff was bunk. But as we know, Dinitro's stuff is never bunk. I assume I am not getting killed by sides due to the dosing and how he packs his pills with all extra stuff like antioxidants and extras he stuffs in the pill. So I should be grateful the sides arent killin me. When i woke up this morning I was slightly sticky so this could have been from dnp or from the fact I slept with my fan on low and the windows open on a warm night which always makes me feel nasty.

Last thing, weighed myself again as promised and was 205. I wont check it again for at least a week but I might be one of the users who loses weight and does not enough water to throw the scale off.

Day 5 cont: quick update. At work at a famous vitamin franchise and my coworker challenged me to eat 6 lenny and larrys cookies in 15 minutes or less. Glad to say I won $30 but also am at 4200 cals on the day now. Said I would stay clean but clearly fucked that up. Wont have another day like this unless it's planned like I think my results are good and want some donuts from Kane's

You really really aren't the type of person to be using any type of performance enhancing drugs... You couldn't even stay on diet because a coworker challanged you to eat some cookies. I'm sorry man but this is just another train wreck of a DNP log so far, hoping you can clean it up and give this the respect it deserves

eat some cookies.

Whoa whoa whoa... it was a Lenny and Larry's man.

Can't eat just one box of those motherfuckers.

You are just the motivation I needed so that I can prove how good this log will be so I thank you, RodgerThat

That last update should say "midday 6" update not day 5 sorry for any confusion. I do my posts the morning after so in about 10 hrs I'll be typing out the actual day 6 post

 

[cali96]

Day 6: wow did i feel the heat today. 600 carbs total on the day, the excess from those cookies. I felt my body heat up at parts throughput the day and my skin would get a light "oil" over it. felt more oily than sweaty. My chest and tri day at the gym was definitely tougher to get through but weights were still same as pre dnp. Still have not been hit with insomnia but i had a very slight night sweat. when i woke up in the morning (of day 7 right now) the part of me under the covers was damp. like i said before, i am right back to clean eating. only day i will go off in future is if i feel results are great and want to have some donuts or something bad for a day but on dnp to cancel out the weight gain.
