3 days after taking 1mg, no side effects. Feel good actually. but obviously still too early to tell. Will bump up to 4mg in 4 days.
I don’t expect to see any great improvements in terms of aging as I’m quiet young however I’m hoping the rapamycin will delay some of the aging as I get older. I’m starting early to prevent/slow aging, not reverse it. Only time will tell as I get older.
My pre-blood results are perfect. cholesterol perfect , LDL/HDL is in the ideal perfect range (better then good). which is expected given my age. My ferritin is abit on the low side which is normal as I have iron issues in the past. Taking an iron supplement once weekly. I’ll test my blood in 4 weeks from now to see if rapamycin has any negative effects against my blood work or positive effects, I’m particular curious to see if my cholesterol changes negatively as this is something i hear happens commonly with rapamycin.
Just got my rapamycin stock today, have enough until i hit 29 years old I think.

Can you please share the online doctor that prescribes in Australia. I’m sure other people in Australia would love to hear about it.

yes got my script here Online Prescriptions | Medmate
It cost like 20$ to get the script. Its also not a repeat script. 1 off script. The doctors on this site dont ask much questions about why you need the medication. I feel like they prescribe any drug as long as it isnt addictive/abusive. They just dont prescribe sleep tablets, Xanax etc.
When you order the script on this site you got to say you had the medication before. Click the “yes” I have used the medication before. If you say no. you may not get it. Sadly not many anti aging doctors who prescribe rapamycin in australia compared to USA. Keep in mind the cost is 5$ only if you have a medicare card a card that lowers prescript prices by ALOT (most aussies do) if you don’t the rapamune will cost around $1300. (private script), so if you’re in australia and get this script but you arent a citizen it will cost alot of money, rapamycin is expensive here just like in USA.

Is your FG/FI high? What’s the reason for acarbose?
Just might try it for the recent life span study of acarbrose + rapa combined together

Just got my blood work done after 5 weeks total of taking rapamycin (last 3 weeks were 6mg rapa every 7 days).
My cholesterol has raised slightly, no big increase.
Everything else seems normal, kidney and white cell counts etc so thats good news.

Just looks like normal ‘noise’ in the data. I doubt three doses of 6mg will have any discernible effect.
Do 3 months and then re-test.

totally agree. we really need more data! Going to do another blood test in 3 months.

no side effects 14 hours in. Going to bump up to 8mg next week and stay at 8mg for a few months and do some blood work. Will decrease if I notice any negative blood work. As for the cholesterol, I’m going to work on exercise/diet and take some natural cholesterol lowering agents. I cant entirely blame rapamycin for the small cholesterol increase as I haven’t made the best food choices recently.

The chemist always has to order rapamycin in for me (generally only takes a day) . So that is why I stocked up. They said its a very uncommon medication and they barely prescribe it. I believe most people with kidney issues get their medication from the hospital pharmacy. They didn’t give me them all 6 at once. I went to a few different chemists and got some a few weeks later. I like to stock up.
@Jensen_Achilles Didn’t the prescription from the online pharmacy dictate the dosage and the number of repeats? The pharmacy usually follows that to a tee.
