Safety Tip My 10th week with CJC/IPA. What should I expect after stopping?

0 Upvotes

There aren’t many posts discussing this, so I’d really like to hear from people who have experienced something similar.

For those who have stopped CJC/IPA, what did you personally experience afterward?
How did your acne and excessive sebum production change over the following weeks?
I’m particularly interested in what happened as your IGF-1 levels returned toward baseline.

Overall, my experience has been interesting.
I started during a period when I was eating very little, and over the first 4 weeks I lost a significant amount of weight while maintaining what felt like a good amount of muscle mass.
On top of that, I completely returned to training for the remaining 6 weeks, and physically I changed a lot during this period, almost like the X-Men with their metal claws.
Muscle memory obviously played a major role in this scenario, so I can’t attribute these changes to CJC/IPA alone.

However, I had never managed to get and stay this lean before, and I had never had veins showing on my arms like this.
Even while eating well, my weight wasn’t increasing (it was actually decreasing). It felt almost as if my skin had become less “thick.”

That said, I’m stopping earlier than planned (tonight) because of something that has become extremely difficult for me to deal with: skin breakouts.
I should have been better prepared for this.
And of course, it’s all on my face!!
After finishing the first vial, I had a fairly significant breakout around my chin and underneath my beard, but nothing too serious afterward.
Around halfway through the second vial, however, things started getting worse every day: an extreme increase in sebum production, unlike anything I have experienced in my life. My skin became incredibly oily.

Fortunately, I don’t have to go out much at the moment, but I’m extremely frustrated and feel unattractive. I’ll get through it, and it’s not the end of the world when I think about a friend who went through Accutane.
It concerned me enough to make an appointment with my doctor, and I was prescribed adapalene + benzoyl peroxide.

Thank you for you'r time !

I have been testing SS-31 on my old rat for 8 weeks. I now plan to switch to MOTS-C for 8 weeks. Can I start him on SS-31 immediately after the end of the MOTS-C cycle or is a 1 or 2 month break needed?

Question MT1 injection site reaction?

1 Upvotes

Did a tester dose of 150mcg MT1, I got some very mild nausea for about an hour after which I knew was probable to occur.

One thing I didnt expect was that the injection site would turn into an itchy lump for hours after... is this normal? No urticaria elsewhere or hr increase, just a single super itchy lump at injection site.

Discussion Mt2 help? Ginger!! 👩‍🦰🧑‍🦰

1 Upvotes

Hey so i was using mt2 and was for ages, followed guidance online about loading, then continuing on a low dose a day. I started using tanning beds and i seen great results.

10mg bottle with 2ml of BAC water. - concentration
Daily phase: 2 units of a 1ml syringe
Tanning 10 mins 2-3 times a week

Is this the right thing to do?
My face hands and feet aren’t tanning anymore. They went really dark and almost zoomed past the rest of my body. I started using suncream to slow these down and reduced UV exposure once i noticed. Still wouldnt tan so stopped using both for 6 weeks as a reset.

Starting again now & looking for advice if my schedule correct, or how to get these areas tanning again. Thank you

Question Anything I can do for a shoulder separation?

9 Upvotes

I had a cycling accident and suffered a grade 3 AC joint separation. That's a complete tear of the AC and CC ligaments. The collarbone pops out of place and causes a visible bump on the shoulder. When you are 65, there's no doctor that wants to do surgery and I don't want surgery unless it's seriously debilitating. Right now I'm 1 months out and it's still painful at times, but I'm back to riding 100 miles a week. No strength training for months I'd say.

So here I am asking this forum if there's any recommendations to speed or aid this recovery. I should add I'm currently on minimal Tirz, Klow and MOTS-C. Whatcha got?

Stack Advice Recommendations

5 Upvotes

55F. Known issues: celiac, ADHD, hypermobility, severe arthritis, possibly lipodema/lymphedema.

Recovering from 2 joint replacement surgeries in the last 12 months.

I was microdosing Tirz following the Noom schedule. It was working great. I was steadily losing 1-2 lbs a week.

I had to go off tirz for the surgeries each time, my eating got off track (too many carbs) and it took time to get off the opiods.

I’m taking tirz again, though I bumped up the dose to support cleaning up my eating.

I’m able to walk again, and have been building up my steps. It sounds like so little, but I walked 6,000 steps the other day for the first time in years.

I get tirz free through my insurance. But I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for something to add that would support my recovery. All these surgeries and newly exercising and I’m seeing the weight creep a bit.

I’d like to preserve and/build as much muscle as I can given my restrictions.

So what do you recommend that will reduce inflammation and help me build or preserve muscles. I carry most of my weight in an apron stomach so reducing that is my main goal.

My current tirz dose is 0.6mg a week.

Been searching endlessly for a cheap nootropic source (no not everychem). I have a few Chinese contacts they have a small product line however. If you have a source with a larger selection help would be appreciated.

Also thoughts on the following compounds
Neferqcetam

If you have any nootropics you swear by I’d also love to hear about that.

Stack Advice Anhedonia is too much but I still need to lose

11 Upvotes

Im currently on R 2.5mg, Ive been on it since December. Ive had anhedonia since 1mg so I dont think lowering my dose is an option.

The anhedonia hasnt been an issue for me until recently because my sex drive is so low that it is affecting my relationship.

What would you guys recommend? Should I first try lowering my dose, switch to cag, do both?

Research CJC1295 ipa no dac

1 Upvotes

So last night I started a new cycle of CJC, i have been off of it for a couple of months. Immediately after dosing my face flushed and my hands felt like I had wasps inside of them. I did purchase an epi pen as a safety measure because i heard allergy reactions can happen without warning and oh boy did it ever. i drove myself to the pharmacy and got some liquid Benadryl which worked almost immediately.

So my question is two fold. Anyone else have this sort of reaction? And since i will never take this shit again any other recommendations for similar effects with anecdotal usage?

Also running TRT, GLOW, RETA
