My DNP fucking nightmare... Please read and be warned.

I need to share this with you guys in the hopes it might convince someone to not use this shit and go through what I am going through.

I did a ton of research on DNP. I read all the popular guides, of course including every page of heretic's thread. In total I probably spent 50 hours reading about DNP. It seemed like the perfect boost to put me right in line with my goals for the end of my first cycle. This community in particular provided me with a lot of assurance that if I was careful, DNP was about as dangerous as ibuprofen, and that damage from DNP correlated directly to irresponsible and stupid behavior. I got all the commonly suggested supplements and with some apprehension placed my order for 50 of D's crystal caps.

My first run was 9 days of 250mg a day. Strict strict diet, powered through the cravings (they are insane. And let me tell you this shit straight up works. I lost 8 pounds actually on the cycle (on only 250 a day!) and then 2 more pounds 5 days after stopping. Sides were bearable, just sweaty at night and tired during the day. 5th day after coming off I felt like a fucking animal. the anabolic rebound is definitely confirmed for me as well. I set 2 new PR's with a 565 dead and benched 225 23 times. So, I wanted to drop 5-10 more pounds fast. I planned to take the full 9 days off and then restart at 250 a day for 14-21 days, or whenever I hit 10 more lbs dropped. This shit was a breeze this time, literally no sides, woke up every morning looking like I dropped a half inch off my waist.

Day 6 this time around is when the fucking nightmare began

I woke up and showered and noticed my chest itching like hell, said "oh shit" popped a benadryl and went to work. I was SWEATING at this meeting we were attending. My crotch starts to itch like no other, the back of my head as well. My elbows are extremely sore for seemingly no reason, I look down and they are COVERED in disgusting looking hives. Time to leave work early. pop some more benadryl. Hives spreading rapidly, and these fuckers itch so bad that it HURTS. I wait it out for a little bit, double the supplements, more benadryl, waiting to see if it would improve. It only got worse. around 2am "fuck it" I'm going to the emergency room and getting prescribed prednisone now. It is now that I notice my feet are in pain when i walk... interesting, i think. I decide not to panic on the "peripheral neuropathy" thing and tell myself it is from the hives reaction. Doctor sees me hours later, get IV benadryl and corticosteroids and the script.

I drive a manual car, on the way home at 6am I shit you not I could barely shift my palms were so achy. "Fuck" is all I can think. Feet hurt BAD now. Like a combination of walking on sunbathed blacktop and dropping a dumbbell on them. this shit SUCKS and I'm trying not to panic. I did EVERYTHING right. I took the lowest dose available. I kept an incredibly strict diet. I drank 2 gallons of water a day on the dot. I took all the supplements. I took benadryl. I thought all I had to worry about was dying from being a fucking idiot, right? wrong. Im now 2 days into this shit and my feet have only gotten worse. The hives, while terrible and extremely painful and uncomfortable, are still a walk in the park compared to this bullshit. Standing up for 30 seconds to piss it takes 15-20 mins for my feet to stop feeling like they are walking on coals. I am literally crippled and immobile at this point.

The best part: this shit does not improve for MONTHS. I have read every damn case I could of this shit and it almost never gets better in a reasonable time frame. Years for full recovery and sensation is the common theme. Yet all the stories i read are "yeah i got it, took 750mg for three weeks" or "took a gram for 10 days". But here I am. Fucked up by DNP and biting my finger as i write this to try not to focus on my feet.

TL:DR fuck DNP, it works good as hell, i took all the precautions and minimal dose for a short amount of time and still got peripheral neuropathy. It's not safe. Im not saying your going to die. But that doesn't make it safe. You will never know if you will develop this shit until its too late.
 
I will keep updating this thread and let you guys know if my neuropathy improves at all. Im holding onto the hope that since my dosage was so low (15 total caps over 24~ days?) that it will abate faster than people taking DNP to the limit. I am also looking into purchasing a TENS machine and going to try an ice bath later.
 
Sorry to hear about your experience buddy. DNP is just one of them things I wouldn't fuck with.. but then again I had the same attitude towards AAS a few years back lol.

Keep us updated pal
 
Yeah, too much bullshit involved with dnp for me to even consider trying the stuff out.

Why use such a dangerous compound when you can just add a little time with a good diet and cardio for the same results minus the possible death aspect.

I'm not going to lie I was attracted to the "guinea pig" science experiment line of thinking. Fucking regretting that now. But I will tell you if it had just been the hives I would be right back on this shit in 2 weeks. It works like nothing else. Its instant gratification in a pill. It turns months of strict dieting into 2-3 weeks. Thats type of shit isn't that common. I guess thats why it comes with such a steep price.
 
I took a few cycles of that crap about 15 years ago. I actually bought a big vial of it and made my own caps. Now that was stupid wasn't it? I basically "eyed" out the amount and decided from the information available that it was around 200mg. I was taking 1/day at first and then around 250mg/day.

Sides for me SUCKED! Sweating profusely, fatigued and so tired I had to sleep several times a day. No way I could go to work as I did the cycle while I had a week off. The whites of your eyes turn yellow and people think you have jaundice.

2 attempts was enough for me. I decided it was easier to just work out, eat right and FEEL GOOD. I felt horrible on DNP. And the shit stains EVERYTHING it comes in contact with.. YELLOW.
 
Realistically I was losing around .8 lbs a day on 250mg only by keeping a strict 2200 cal diet. Regular dieting I could expect to see .8 lbs every 3.5-5 days. So it increases, for me, the efficiency of dieting by 350-500%. At least for my first run. That is insane. Common sense would dictate a 500% increase in the efficiency of dieting means you are probably fucking your body up in some way. I just wish I hadn't glazed over to that little bit of advice before i decided to use DNP.

I would gladly accept a tenfold increase in the common sides if it meant I could avoid having what I have right now. Never touching the stuff again.
 
Thanks for sharing your experience. I don't know who told you that dnp was safe but live and learn I suppose. Hope you feel better soon

The line of thinking here and on other forms was more "don't be an idiot and you won't fuck yourself up chronically or die", not necessarily that it was all around safe

Sorry to hear about the peripheral neuropathy. I have ran DNP twice and the second time I had the same side as you. I ended up in the hospital because I was so disoriented and covered in hives. As for the neuropathy I took me 3 weeks after finish the cycle to get back to normal. I know it sucks because it's painful to the point that it will almost make you cry. I would rather get shot than go through that pain ever again. That's why I don't mess with DNP

Wow 3 weeks is actually really encouraging. Were you fully recovered? also, did your neuropathy onset at the same time as the hives like mine did?
 
Sorry for your trouble. I truly hope that none of my thoughts influenced your decision to use. If they did, oh well. That was the point, and I knew the risks.

Either way, that sucks man. Try to make sure to document the process. Case studies help all sides of the argument.

Good luck. Sorry you were the one to see the long term. I recommend against because the short term is so bad. .

Although the pain is bad, whats even more retarded is that I'm pretty well bummed out that I can't risk touching this stuff ever again because it is literally a miracle. I could see adding this to the tail end of a big bulk cycle and cleaning up 10-15 pounds of pure fat in 2weeks as incredibly useful in the future. But, there are truly no shortcuts without consequences. And yes I will continue to update this thread. the Hives are disappearing slowly after the prednisone.
