r/Melanotan2

I started on MT2 back in June. Did the normal daily 0.1mg loading phase followed by 0.5mg once or twice a week before sun. The nausea and irritability weren’t bad to start, but now it’s too intense. I’ve back down to 0.1mg and still feel like crap. I’m going to try MT1 and see how that goes. But what do I do with the kits of MT2 I bought as I’m not going to use anymore?

Just started today and took 0.25mg. Reconstituted my vial with 2ml of bac and transferred to a pen- I figure if I’ll be using it daily it makes sense over syringes. I’m also on Reta and never had any side effects at all, so was expecting the same from this.

Pheeeeew I was wrong. No flushing really but I started feeling nauseous after about 10 minutes. Went to the sunbed shop half an hour after I took it and did 8 minutes. The nausea did not go away- fatigue also set in and I had an hour long nap (I’m not a nap person usually) before work. I took it at 10am and it’s now 7pm and only just subsiding. Going to go down to half the dose tomorrow and see how that goes. I guess it goes to show not to trust a lack of sides from one peptide to mean similar for others- might seem obvious but I definitely regret not starting with a smaller dose now. I’m planning on 3 sunbed sessions a week for the next 2 weeks until I go on holiday.

I currently have fake tan on so I’m hoping that by the weekend I’ll scrub my tan off and find some Mediterranean goddess underneath it- we can live in hope.

So I ordered MT2, collecting on Friday. First time!

Is it a coincidence that the second I buy it, the heatwave decides to stop and we have clouds only? 😂

So, from what I’ve read, you take the pin, wait a little while before you then go outside and let the sun beat down on you for half hour? Is that right? Do I need to find a tanning bed in the suns absence? Or will it work anyway?

Tips welcome 😁

How long do you personally keep and use:

• bacteriostatic water after the first puncture?
• reconstituted MT2 stored in the fridge?

I know the usual multidose-vial guidance for bacteriostatic water is around 28 days, but I’m curious about real-world experience, especially with MT2 potency after reconstitution.

Have you noticed any loss of effectiveness after 4, 6, 8+ weeks in the fridge, or do you usually discard it earlier?

Hey everyone, I’m trying to decide between Melanotan 1 and Melanotan 2.

My main goal is actually to get darker/black-looking eyebrows and eyelashes, although I’d obviously also like the tanning effect and a slightly darker/warmer skin tone.

I don’t really care that much if the hair on my head gets darker.

I’ve seen quite a few people report that MT2 made their eyebrows and facial hair noticeably darker, but

I haven’t been able to find nearly as many experiences with MT1.

The main reason I’m hesitant about MT2 is the potential for existing moles/freckles to darken or new spots to become noticeable. I currently basically don’t have freckles or noticeable moles, and

I really don’t want to end up developing a bunch of dark spots.

Has anyone here used Melanotan 1 specifically and noticed a significant change in eyebrow or eyelash pigmentation?
If you’ve tried both MT1 and MT2, I’d especially like to know:

Which one darkened your eyebrows/eyelashes more?

How long did it take before you noticed a difference?

Did MT1 still give you noticeable hair pigmentation?

Did either one cause freckles/moles or random dark spots to appear?

Any personal experiences or advice would be appreciated.

I’m mainly trying to figure out whether MT1 can give me the eyebrow/eyelash effect without as much of the pigmentation-related downside I’m worried about with MT2.

I’m type 1 skin btw, thank you very much for your comments.

Any advice on how to take it if I’m taking it for the side effect for sexual arousals? I want to make sure I’m inputting the correct amount of BAC into that 10MG sample and that I don’t over use it. I could use being less white but hoping it helps with my PTSD and makes me want to actually have sex then feeling so numb all the time. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have done 3 pins of .5mg of MT1. With each pin I have gotten sicker and sicker. First it was just a sore throat, then I experienced the most painful charley horses in my ankle for the first time ever (usually get them in my foot very rarely), and now I’m awake in the middle of the night with extreme dizziness, headache, general malaise.

I’ve seen some people say to just power through and that symptoms would get better. But I feel like I am genuinely poisoning myself, like an idiot.

I know I’m not the only one to experience flu like symptoms but I’m curious if anyone else had this and then took a break and had better luck the second time trying?

It’s almost spring where I am, coming out of winter. So the UV is around 3-4 each day and not too much sun. I’ve been attempting to get atleast half an hour a day of this sun. I’ve been taking it daily for 2 weeks (200mcg) and I have increased freckles which I love anyway so I don’t mind but I’m not seeing the results I expect and I assume this is due to lack of UV exposure. Sun beds are illegal where I live. The warmer weather is coming in a few weeks so should I continue to overload until I see the results I want? Do I need to up my dose? I stuck to 200mcg because it was making me very sick at a higher dose but I don’t have any nausea or side effects now. So should I go up? Would love some advice.

i’ve reached the color i want, do i stop tanning and keep pinning mt1 a couple times a week?

Hi all- new here. Question- prob dumb but here goes-
when using MT-1 or MT-2, I know UV exposure is needed for the peptide to work best. Do the actual body parts that you want to tan need to be directly exposed to the sun, or does simply being outdoors in the sun while fully clothed still produce the same effect? Thank you.

Hi!

Did my first mt2 summer this year, love the color and now that summer is coming to an end (I live in Sweden)

I start to wonder about keeping the tan over winter, does it maintain if you just keep injecting it? Or would it require doing short bursts at a tanning salon once a week or so?

Mostly looking for tips from anyone who has used it during darker periods where you can’t really get natural uv outside as easily.

Hello everyone, I've been trying to look at different options for a while now and wanted to get some recs from the community and people who've used MT2. Im based in Victoria, Australia, if that makes a difference?

Mainly Im looking for something that gives good glow and reta. Any Australian vendors worth going to or checking out? Please help.

Been using mt2 for a little over 2 years, mostly on, with maybe 5 months off in total. Mostly been using one of these protocols 500mcg eod, 250mcg ed, 500mcg 3x a week, sometimes lower doses at around 1000mcg total a week. Reason for this dose is maintaining darker beard and hair color. Looks weird if I stop. Also for maintaining mild tan during periods of not tanning.

Never really noticed the libido increase. Sometimes I've felt the increase in yawning and maybe some spontanous erections but rarely now. Nausea is almost non- existent now, but comes back if I take a break. Effects sometimes seem to be differ with suppliers and batches too.

Felt like my libido and erections kind of got weaker the first 1-2months after I started it 2 years ago, but the difference wasn't extreme and enough to justify quitting it.

While Melanotan 2 is historically known to frequently cause spontaneous erections or increased libido due to melanocortin receptor stimulation in the brain, maybe overuse or long term use desensitizes these receptors to the point it makes libido and erections worse than baseline even with contionous use?

Even if I inject 500mcg before bed and take 5mg cialis I never get morning wood anymore, and libido and erections in general are weak. Might be other reasons, but makes me curious if mt2 could contribute to it.

Any long term users of high doses (1000-2000mcg a week) who have experiences something similar?

And if not, what is your optimal dosing and frequency to maintain libido?

Would also appreciate comments from long term users with similar doses that has not experienced any negative libido/erection effect long term.

Has anyone else had this? Is it permanent? You can see at the pore it’s turning dark brown.
