Side Effects of Rapamycin (part 2)

#1331

Just sharing:

I took my fist 14mg dose on Thursday. I felt like the energizer bunny for days, it’s was fantastic!

But, unless I’m getting sick, which I don’t think I am, there is a side effect that is making me reconsider a higher 14 day dose, vs weekly dosing.

My ear feels like it’s slightly clogged (enough so that I was going to make an appt with the doc, but then I realized this might be the rapa). I also have a little more phlegm in my throat (only noticeably when I am lying down). A touch sniffly too.

I wonder when you had your last dose before this 14 mg dose? and how much rapa you had then?

My regular dose has been 8mg each week. My last 8mg dose was 4/11, then I took 14mg on 4/30

You possibly should have done 10mg, then 12mg before shooting straight for 14mg.

You are correct! I had planned to take 12, but Claude said 12 would be ideal and 14 would be acceptable, so I just did it knowing anything negative would be short lived.

The symptoms, if related, and I think they probably were, only lasted a few days. All gone now. The positive feelings I had were phenomenal. I still feel pretty good but just not as OTT energetic.
