Melanotan II Journal

[skitzz]

Ok, so here is my first journal. I am pretty fairskinned and during the winter months I get pretty pale. I also had the stomach flu a couple weeks back and whenvever I get sick, I usually get really pale, more pale than usual. So After doing much research decided i'd try Melanotan II. Mainly becasue i dont like having to go tanning in the beds that often. For one its expensive and I just dont have the time. Anyhow, my wife and I decided to both start on the same day. Here are our results thus far with pics to follow once I get around to putting them up.

I weigh roughly 157 lbs,
Wife weighs roughly 140lbs

If I had to guess, i would say she we are both Type II skin type. She is a little fairer and has a harder time tanning than I do.

Found this online. So I will follow these guidelines (sort of, as I think more than 1mg is too much for us):
Dosage:
Melanotan Treatment
Allow time before seeing UV exposure. Sunburn is to be avoided.
Example- Skin type II, 180lb male
Day 1-2: .5mg each night
Day 3-6: 1mg when convenient
Day 7-10: 2mg (I'm only doing 1mg) when convenient
Day 11 on forward: begin dosing .5mg/week
Day 7: 10min sun bed session. (Cover face/genitals/sun damage, use lotion, etc)
Day 9: 10min sun bed session.
Day 11: 15min sun bed session


Once loading phase is over will begin Maintenance dose: 0.5g 2x a week

Day 1:
Dosed in the afternoon (big mistake!) We both felt nauseous. I took a nap right after I injected because I had a splitting headache (totally unrelated to the melanotan). Upon waking felt nauseous and no desire to eat. Wife also felt nauseous and no appettite. As for the libido effects, not sure. Didn't really notice anything.

Day 2:
Felt normal for the most part of the day. No effect on appetite. Was Superbowl sunday , so I ate like a pig. Dosed right before bed. Both of us super tired so we went straight to sleep.

Day 3:
Not much of an appetite for me all day. However, had a stiffy pretty much all day. Wife also suffereing from lack of appetite and nausea. She almost passed out during exercise probably because of lack of food. Could be due to the Melonotan not sure but thought i would note it here. Dosed right before bed. Had amazing sex! Wife said, she didn't know what possessed her. All i know was she was a f***en champ last nite!!! thinking it might have to do with the melanotan. Who knows. I aint complaining.

So far this is it, will continue to load for 10 days. Then drop to a maintenance dose thereafter of 2x a week. Again, i will try to add pics tonite since thats the whole point right?

Day 4: Dosed at night as usual, before bed. Was too sleepy for sex. Nausea not an issue for me since the first day. So far so good. Did bruise a little the first two pins. Didn't hurt or anything. Guess I'm not used to pinning. Also noticed that it itches a little immediately after each pinning but it goes away after a few mins. Appetite is still a little suppressed but seems to be slowly coming back to normal.

Day 5: So its about 4pm and I noticed that the birthmark on my ring finger has doubed in size! Its become more pronounced. Also noticing that I have more freckles appearing on my face as well. i'm thinking its sun damage from past sun exposure but it never appeared unitl now. I saw something on TV about that. They had this camera that took pics or x-rays of your skin showing where the sun damage was. It wasn't visible to the naked eye but it was definitely there, then they had some machine that supposedly clears it up. Anyhow, a little off topic but thought I'd mention anyway.

I'l go ahead an pin tonite as usual. I'll note anything significant here as needed.

Pinned 0.5mg as usual, nausea is not an issue no more. However, lack of appetite is a little bothersome. I usually wake up hungry but lately, have trouble putting food down in the morning...

Day 6: Beginning to notice that my lips look darker... Don't know if i am imagining it but it seems like my face is getting darker but not brown but a grayish color. Haven't tanned yet so I am thinking that once I do that, the color will look more natural. Right now, i feel like i have a weird shade of gray tone to my face. or maybe its all in my head. I also feel like my face is less clear. I think the melanotan brings out the blemishes.Anyhow, hopefully a tanning session or two will help clear this up...

Plan on pinning 1mg tonite and the next two days...Hopefully upping the dose wont induce nausea. Then plan on indoor tanning on Saturday for 9-10mins as I normally would.

great updates here I'll be watching and learning

Ok so ive been away from the computer a few days so I will give an update here.

Day 7: Went tanning for the first time. Went in a medium range bed like I normally do. Noticed a little more color. So far it does what its supposed to do but I'm not really liking the side effects. So I skipped the dose that day and haven't dosed again since.

The following day i nicked my gums a little when i was brushing my teeth. Later on i noticed that it looked like I had food on my gums on the area surrounding my teeth. So i brushed and it didnt come out. Turns out that i had a small cut from brushing my teeth. So anything that is red on your body will begin to turn purple. So now I got this disgusting purple line on my gums. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm done with this stuff. I just cant go all the way through with this. I experienced the following side effects and for me, it just isn't worth it for me to keep going. My wife also quit an she expereinced the same side effects as well.

-My face is turning a charcoal color. It looks like my face is dirty all the time. Doesn't look natural.
-Moles became much more pronounced and larger and many more appeared on my face than I expected
-My lips turned purple along with my gums
-The circles under my eyes became more pronounced as well. Not good!
-The skin on my genitalia also turned darker and charcoal colored. (my wife noticed too!)
-As I mentioned above even my gums turned darker.
-Any scars you have will be more pronounced as well.

Overall, I just dont like the look I have right now and I dont want to continue to get that kind of dark. Its dissapointing because i really was excited about this product. Others may have had better results but for me, my body just didn't respond the way I had hoped and i cant deal with the side effects. And I don't want to have to get so dark in order to make the moles less noticeable. I'm not trying to look like them jersey shore freaks I just wanted a nice tan without having to go to the tanning bed so much. Well, hope this is helpful. I guess everybody reacts different.

That's shitty man, I was hoping for a different ending as I'm looking into that product.

So far I've heard a couple bad reviews, but many many positive ones. Thanks for logging this though!

 

[mich29]

wow at that happening can't blame ya for cutting this short.thanks for logging this I've always wondered about this stuff and now I know a lil bit more about it.

 

[skitzz]

No prob fellas...I hadn't really heard any negative reviews. Only side effects I heard of was loss of appetite and nausea which are pretty mild and might be worth the risk.

I went in with high hopes. Don't mean to discourage anybody or anything just giving my two cents on my experience.

I tried melanotan II a couple years ago and really liked it. i only did .5 every other day though and only got freckles on my lips that went away. sounds like you were taking too much of it too soon. it only takes a little bit to get results.

Got to agree here I think you overdosed yourself. I took .5 mg once a week, tanned for 6 mins once a week for 3 weeks and I look like I've been in Hawaii! Now I take .5 every3 weeks for maintenance and tan once a month.....it's amazing!

Yeah - i think it's weird too - but I get nasty wood all night long when i take it so I'm glad that it's so infrequent or i'd never get any sleep! ;-)

BTW - i meant .5 mg not .5 ml

Yeah no hijack intended but my recent results with M-11 have been good. Loaded at .5 for a week then 1 mg ed for a week. I've been using .5 (2x) a week to maintain. Lips are a little darker. Moles are a bit darker. Appetite suppressed slightly after 1 mg pins while staging. I like it though. Got everything I wanted from it & The slight sides were well worth the trade off. I feel bit more defined with some added color.

Did you also use a tanning booth? And, how much darker did your lips get? Just a slight shade difference or a very noticable change?

Don't do tanning booths. I don't think you need to. I started getting darker after day 3. The lips are darker but I haven't had anything but compliments. Wife wants to try it but she's fair skinned with quite a few freckles so I don't recommend it for that type of complexion. My little moles barely noticeable without M-11 (one on forehead) (2 on chest) are definitely darker but overall I am happy. I'm certain you can adjust dosage & find a happy median. That's going to be different for everyone. I found however if I don't pinch the area I'm pinning with the 1/2 needle it won't leave a round bruise spot that looks worse on the M-11 then off. Just my take on things so far.

 

[SloppyJoseph]

That dose is too high!

I've been using M-II from EP and I have had ZERO side effects. I started out at .5mg/day. And now I've only bumped up to .75mg/day and I'm almost to the point where I just want to maintain my tan. Some freckles have gotten very dark and I don't like that. That is the only side I have experienced. No boners or nasuea for me.
