Need some advice (DNP)

Hey guys,

Day 5 of 500mg/day DNP. I've done DNP in the past so this isn't my first run.

I need some help.

Feeling like utter shit this time around (never felt like this on previous cycles - same source). No allergic reactions but I have an upset stomach with pain, gas, extreme lethargy, heavy breathing and just overall feeling like shit. I know some of these are DNP sides but idk... something feels weird this time around. My body is warm all the time (it's -3 Celsius outside) and the night sweats are bad.

Do I continue or do I stop? Like I can probably tolerate this shit feeling.. but I just don't want it to be something worse that I'm not picking up on.

Any vets care to share some wisdom?
 
Decided not to take a dose today as well... feeling sick. Think I’m coming down with the flu... feeling very warm still.

You take your temperature?

I would just drop it entirely for now man. Overall, I'm confident in being able to safely get myself through DNP cycles with low risk and generally help others minimize risk. However, I got food poisoning about two it so years ago... Had I been taking DNP at the time, it could have been disastrous. It hit me hard and fast, there would have been no time to react and make the necessary adjustments.

Better to drop it and see what's what.

I agree... didn’t check my temp. I should. But, it’s -6 degrees Celsius outside and I’m sweating if I don’t open the window.

I’ll drop it entirely. There’s something off about the effects this cycle... something doesn’t feel right.

What are you talking about? This is an exact repeat of your attempt back in Feb 2018, see this:

2,4-DiNitroPhenol [DNP]

Back then you had the same complaints, were given the same advice... Have you had success with DNP since that try?

Hey Kracken, glad to see you around! That time it was more of food cravings and headaches which was more tolerable than the sides this time around. I did have 1 cycle post that time with no issues from the same source.

Just a quick update, I dropped the dnp for 2 days now (no dose) following @Eman advice. Today, I feel like a totally new person! Fresh and energized. Some lethargy, but nothing drastic. I feel like going back on today at 250mg only. Any suggestions?

Since you asked...

You have been given great advice so scroll up a bit and read it. There is no shame in giving up but if you want to keep at it, I think lowering the dosage is a must. Also, pineapple and Powerade Zero are your friend. Have this stuff on hand. I get headaches occasionally and 500mg Tylenol solves it. As others have said, drink lots. DNP robs you of your thirst. Remember that it will also leave you bloated.

Learn from your history. Keep careful notes about your body temp, how you feel and so on. Take it at the same time each day whenever possible. The notes will help you learn what you can handle and what result / sides to expect.

As I type this, it occurred to me to suggest you make sure you understand how half life works. For example, if you're on 500mg DNP per day, before long you have more than that in you. It builds up to a peak that will well exceed your daily dose. I keep track of the current concentration using a spreadsheet and I adjust the daily dosage to get the concentration desired. Google for a formula for predicting drug concentration based on half life and assume a half life of 36 hours. This works best when you take the DNP at the same time each day.

Sides, at least for me, tend to be worst a few hours after the daily dose. So I take it at night, so I can hopefully sleep through them. Adjust when you take it based around when you can best handle the sides.

Most important, be careful. As in Feb 2018, if it does not work for you then give up. There is no prize for extreme suffering.

Others here know more than I, so I'm sure my comments will be corrected or tweaked as needed. Good luck.
