I am using Pfizer’s Rapamune 1mg, it has minimal side effects and I feel good. Contrary to popular belief, rapamycin is a very effective drug even at low doses.

I also believe in low doses of Rapa. 1 mg doesn’t give me any side effects and works very well.

@LaraPo , just to be clear, for people new here, you’re taking 1mg once per day (is that correct), and you’re taking it as an organ transplant patient, not specifically longevity, correct?

Yes, it’s correct. It’s prescribed not for longevity, but as a transplant medication. Rapamycin is an amazing multipurpose drug.

I’m pretty small, 5ft3”
I dose with 5mg and don’t feel like I have any side effects except mouth ulcers (and these sometimes seem to appear within hours of taking rapamycin)

Hi I have a friend who just started a low dose she intends to stay on so came here to try to find a study someone posted that said ongoing low doses can have the opposite effect intended but seems you and others are doing well with that dosage? I think she’s just taking .25mg 2 or 3 times a week as very sensitive to drugs.
I feel down the next morning and sometimes even longer after taking even 0,5 mg Everolimus, once in 3 days. I take it with a bit of grapefruit juice or cbd oil, as i’ve read that amplifies the effect. (It really does). Also, i know it lowers serotonine for a few days after, and for me is noticeable, though i weight 73 kg (not so small). Plus, when focusing on screen, have headaches from high blood pressure.
I had side effects on my first doses.
