DNP-101.3 Temp.

[2small]

I finished taking DNP 2 days ago. I woke up this morning with hives on my back and legs so I took a benadril and now I have a temp. of 101.3. Is this normal and what should I do.

[Oxandrin]

get a glass of ice and some water.....drink ice cold water.....and chew on the ice.

didn't you research dnp before you started taking it?

About 2 years ago i took too much dnp and i was in a total melt down.....just turn the shower on ice cold and go in there with a 2 liter water bottle. don't eat to many carbs...but have an apple every hour or so

Yes, I did do some research on it before taking it. Also I started off at 200mg for 4
days , then I went to 400mg for 2 days then 600mg for 2 days.

alot of bros break out in a rash bro. Keep up the benedral, stop dnp usage for now, and the temps ok. 101 is nothing to be concerned about.

Aight thanx, hopefully it will go down.

I stopped using it yesterday.

Whenever I take DNP, I don't up the dose until at least 3 days of the current dose, DNP has a pretty long half life so sometimes you may not feel the full effects of the current dose until a few days later. I also probably wouldn't up the dose more than 400 mgs in any cycle b/c of the rising blood levels that occurs from each dose. No flame, just precautions I take. Anyways, give it a day or two and drink lots of water and you should be alright.

I still have a high temp. and have hives all on my legs and back. any opions on this.

I don't understand why your temp is high. You should be sweating to cool off but I don't think your core temp should go up that much. I've taken my temp on DNP and after running on a hot day and inspite of how I feel hot and sweat, my core temp remains normal.

Admittedly, I don't understand DNP . . . I assume it operates by maximizing futile cycles in the body (use of ATP to turn over substrate in the body). But no safe pharmacological intervention should be able to overwelm your body's natural ability to shed excess heat.

Otherwise normal (albeit touched in the head) human beings run marathons under desert sunshine without much more than a blip in body temp.

You cannot fool the human body. Do NOT take a cold shower or bath. When you immerse the skin it sends a signal centrally. That signal says the external environment is cold and actually activates homeostatic mechanisms to reduce heat loss.

What I would do if I were you:
1) STOP the DNP
2) apply cold compress under armpits and in your crotch . . . you cool major arteries without setting off other heat retaing mechanism
3) for personal comfort you can apply alcohol to your skin . . . it has a lowering vaporization point so you will feel cooler faster. Of course, you must re-apply frequently
4) don't drown in fluid . . . monitor your bodyweight and make sure you stay ahead . . . but don't get way ahead
5) drink water as cold as you can tolerate . . .
6) if you hit 39C . . . consider calling your HMO triage line or going to the ER
7) was that an oral or a rectal temp??
8) shower or bathe for comfort . . . it's OK for it to be cool but it CANNOT be cold

Well, get off of it now!

101 Temp IS something to be concerned about!

Also, sounds more like an allergic reaction to the DNP, not direct effects from the DNP itself. Get off of it and start taking Benedryl.

Key phrase: "GET OFF THE DNP NOW!"

He's already off DNP, but it's going to take a few days to completely exit his system. The hives are a somewhat common reaction to histamine build-up caused by DNP, I had them myself pretty bad once. I went to the doc about it, told him I had a rash but I didn't know from what, they gave me an adrenalin shot, benadryl, and prednisone, which is a catabolic steroid. Within a day or two I was fine. Keep at the benadryl and monitor your temp, if nothing changes within the next 24 hrs or if things get worse go to the doc immediately.
I can't stress enough that if this is your first cycle of DNP do NOT exceed 200mg until you see how your body handles it. You don't need 600mg of DNP for it to work, especially my shit. I calculated your half-life levels and on day 9 (the day after you STOPPED taking DNP) your body level of DNP peaked at 650mg. This is often why people get a rash AFTER they stop DNP. The next few days the levels in your system will drop dramatically and your symptoms SHOULD start to improve, but it's going to take time, you just have to tough it out bro. Like I said above, if this does not happen go to the doc immediately. The rash is not a problem but a high core temperature is, make sure you're drinking V8 or something with potassium and electrolytes in it.
Keep us updated bro.

Hey Bro, It is not uncommon to get sick after a DNP cycle, this happens to me sometimes after a week long cycle, your body goes through so much and your immune system is weakened. So chances are you got some bug, but I would definatley go to the doctor. One time I got that Norwalk virus that everyone had on the cruise ships, puking and shitting for 2 days straight and I was on 600mg DNP per day. I thought I was gonna die until I heard my brother start puking that same night, so I knew it wasn't the DNP doing that to me.

Thanks for all the help. I had my brother post for me since I dont have the Internet hooked up yet at my place and felt to shitty to leave the house. My cycle was 2 days of 200mg, 4 days of 400mg, 2 days of 600mg, 1 day of 400mg. I felt fine the whole time on took temp daily was always below 98.6 and had no rash at all. Worked out light and walked on treadmill. Took all the recomended supps, vits and juices. Ate small meals that were clean some carbs but not a shit load. At night I had to sleep on the sofa with windows open and no covers and I still sweated my ass off. When I stooped the DNP I felt like I had a fever and saw some red bumps. I took a 2 Benadryl and a nap when I woke up I was not really sweating but hot as shit so I took my temp and it was 101.5 then noticed I looked like I was a pepperoni pizza huge welts and bumps all over. So I took could shower put compress on, drank ice water and took temp again it went down maybe .2 degress. That is when I got my brother to see what you all thought. I gave in last night b/c it was getting kind of hard to breath and the hives or rash was pretty bad my girl kept telling me I looked like death so I went to get checked out. They gave me prednisone, zyrtec, pepcid and something else. The fever is gone and the rash hopefully will go soon too. I did go from 242 down to 231. Not to bad but it was one rough ride at the end.
Thanks

Good to hear your alright bro.
As I said, hives are a reaction that can happen with DNP use, and not necessarily on your first cycle. For this reason I advise everyone to take one cap of Benadryl every night before bed (it will make you drowsy) throughout the cycle and for a week afterward, as the DNP will still be in your system at that time.
You can also take 2-3 grams of Quercetin instead. Although my Gen II caps have Quercetin in them it is not in a sufficient quantity to prevent a rash, it is only intended to provide what protection it can in that dose.
If you do get hives pretty bad as in this case, go to the doctor immediately. You don't have to say it was from DNP as hives come from all kinds of things, and the doctor will pretty much admit that in many cases they never know what caused it. The fact that you used DNP won't affect the treatment, which is usually an adrenalin shot, prednisone, and benadryl. These things will clear it up within a day or two and you will be fine.
Once again, always stick with 200mg and only bump it up after several days at a dose due to the fact that the DNP is accumulating in your system.

What is DNP? Is this Dinitrophenol...the uncoupling protein of the mitochondria? How do you take this...pill, injection,...etc. For how long and what are the results expected? Thanks...
