Question on taking DNP twice a day.

[Stamkos]

Right now im on day 2 of my DNP cycle. Taking one 250mg crystal cap in the AM.
Within the next 3 or 4 days I plan on upping the dose to 2 caps per day and staying there. I have no desire to go above that.
My question is when going to 2 caps a day should I take them both at the same time, or take one in the AM and one in the PM. Or will it not really make a difference which way i do it.

Take one, wait a few hours take another if your temp is below 101. The goal I'd to get your body temp around 101-102 but not 103. You'll have fast results and a shorter cycle that way. be sure to use antihistamines to prevent histamine build up or you may break out in hives.

Someone correct me if this doesnt' sound right (I've got a spam virus thingy on my laptop that isn't letting me do good searches right now to confirm) but I believe DNP has a half-life of about 36 hrs. If you up the dose you won't really notice the big changes until a day later. A mistake many people make is starting a cycle, then going "I don't feel anything, I'll take more". And than a day later they start to suffer. So as you're experimenting w/ your dosing, be patient and don't just up it cuz you don't feel anything or "its not so bad".

The half life doesn't mean it takes effect 36 hours later. It means you'll have half active compound 36 hours later. so it does build up. However you must actually reach your threshold*accumulation for it to work. The problem is, when you only have 200mg caps you exceed your threshold.

I'm seeing more a trend of trend recently of people wanting 100mg caps so I'm making multiple batches now.

Definitely give the doses a few days to work, and I'll second the antihistamines.

My first cycle I had to stop at 2 caps 11 days in because of the hives. I lost 9 lbs.

This time I'm doing a low carb diet, and 1 cap a day until they run out. (about 25 days) I'm still sweating at night, and I'm on day 11. I'm down 13.8 lbs, and hoping I can get to 20.(but I'll take more) I'm taking my one Benadryl every night, and so far no rash.

Back when I ran it myself I used benadryl 3x day. I lost the 20lbs in just a couple weeks. Night sweats where pretty bad but it paid off. the stubborn lower abb fat just melts away.

I have only ran a cycle once, but as for what I have read u should space out each dose equally. So if you are taking 2 doses a day u should take them every 12 hours. 3 doses a day would be every 8 hours... 4 doses every 6 hours and so on.

the half life of 36 hours despite being thrown around has never been proven accurate..its probably shorter. conciliator originally through it around a while back but he retracted that

Damned histamines! I managed 14 days this round, and lost 13.6 lbs. I developed itchy skin without a rash. For the past 3 days I've been eating Benadryl like candy and just started the Loratadine, and am still itchy.

If anyone knows of something other than these two for pruritis related to DNP, let me know, because I am going nuts with the scratching.

I like to pre-dose Benadryl for 3 - 5 days before I start DNP, I only get itchy on my forearms. One a day at bed time after that leeps me fine.

I do split my dose, just out of personal preference. Yes the half life is long but I find the heat when I take my dose all at once is worse. Could be mental but as I said it is personal preference.

OP, i wouldnt take 2x 250mg caps at once of crystal, supposively crystal is much more faster acting than powder. as mentioned, take one, then about 8-12 hours later take the other. Thats what i did on my cycle that i just came off of.

Benadryl does very little for me as well as many others.

However, Zyrtec (Cetirizine HCl) is very effective and is over the counter. Just take 1 a day.

that sounds like some crazy shit, DNP isnt as complicated as many make it out to be, if your having really bad reactions to it then it would prolly be best to stay away from it.

I actually did the 3 days before. Ended up getting Atarax yesterday - pretty powerful drug, but took care of the itching. Put me to sleep for the better part of the day!
