[QUOTE="Pacman, post: 233162, member: 2450"] Okay so update,[B] I felt nothing from this first dosage. [/B] I did "feel" some nausea in the first evening and next morning, but I think it was all in my head because I was [I]looking[/I] out for it and feeling anxious the whole time waiting for it to happen, so the nausea was either psychosomatic or just a result from me stressing myself out. This is further evidenced by last night (about 36 hours after the injection) I totally binged on a bunch of food. [B] Total calorie count for yesterday (one day after injection): 3650. [/B] That's about a 500 calorie surplus for me. (I was pretty active the entire day, plus 45 min cardio in addition to an intense weight workout, so yes I was naturally very hungry) So virtually no effects from my first 0.25mg injection. Given that is the case, should I really be dosing the same amount for 3 more weeks before upping the dose? (That is the instructions I received and also the general recommendations I see online, to increase the dosage slowly) Are you sure about this? Based on what I read, it takes 4-5 weeks to reach steady state, as in, your body ingests it and eliminates it at the same rate. Not peak concentration. Peak concentration is the first 48 hours post injection, based on my research. Maybe you meant steady state? And also based on what I read, the side effects decrease over time, they don't appear 4-5 weeks later with nothing in the beginning. If I am wrong though, can you post the source that says what you wrote here? (regarding both peak concentration and sides) Phentermine stresses me out, so I try to use it only sparingly. Ephedrine is much better for me symptomatically, but unfortunately it is not as safe as Phentermine. :( So that also I try to use as sparingly as possible. In the STEP trials, the placebo group who followed the dietary advice also reported weight loss, albeit not as high as the one who got the medication. So you are right about that. Luckily for me, I do eat a [I]mostly[/I] (like 60-70%) plant based diet high in fiber anyway. What dosage are you taking and at what frequency? If you experience only minor GI discomfort, how did you titrate up? Did you go slowly or did you just adjust it from week to week until you found your sweet spot? And is your entire supply from Peptide Sciences? (I ask that because you mentioned you use them, so I was curious if they are your entire supply or just supplementing the stuff you get from the pharmacy, I am thinking that I might do the same if I end up needing a much higher dose to save money) Thank you for sharing your experience. So far I am lucky enough to report none of these side effects (I only took one dose though, of 0.25mg)... I hope you find something that helps you without such sides. [/QUOTE]
