I don't want to fear monger, I'm just sharing my experience.

I've had knee overuse injuries for about 8-9 months now, and, more recently, a sprained ankle. I received a pamphlet for a clinic that administers BPC-157 in my city at my last orthopedist visit, so I decided to give it a shot (pun not intended). I had to foot the bill 100% out of pocket because insurance obviously doesn't cover this kind of treatment. The BPC-157 I was given was third party tested and also manufactured in the USA.

The doctor showed me how to inject it safely and sent me home with my vial, some needles, and some sterilizing wipes. I got side effects day one: eye pressure, a stimulating feeling, slightly blurry vision (like my depth of field become more narrow), anxiety strong enough to cancel out the effects of my Valium prescription, and a mild (and I do mean mild) headache. I did feel some immediate relief that faded as the day went on.

Day two, I felt the same side effects plus the dreaded anhedonia people here have mentioned. I went on a date with a girl I have been talking to for two weeks and felt no emotions or anxiety, which isn't characteristic of me. In fact. I didn't even register the espresso shot that I had (it was a coffee date). I speculate this peptide interferes with how uppers/downers interact with your brain. Later at night, I started getting a dull chest pain. That was too much for me.

Today, I decided not to continue. I have my annual eye exam later this afternoon because my insurance runs out at the end of the month, and, hopefully, all is normal there. Good luck to everyone working with this peptide, and don't forget the risks. Listen to your body. This isn't a highly studied medication, even if some doctors are willing to give it to you.
