r/bpc_157

Hello.

I'm contemplating so much on whether to take this or not because of some negative experiences I'm reading on Reddit. I want to ask those who have experienced side effects on their experiences. Please answer thoroughly and include these in your response:

1. Which side effects have you experienced?

2. When did you start getting side effects?

3. When did you start BPC-157, what dosages were you taking, and for how long?

4. What other supplements, meds, drugs, etc., were you taking just before starting BPC-157, during BPC-157, or just after BPC-157?

5. Did you have any other medical/mental/health conditions before starting and during your use of BPC-157?

6. Which form of BPC-157 were you taking? (injecting, oral, etc.)

7. When did those side effects stop, and did you do anything to make it go away?

8. Which side effects do you still have?

9. How long did your side effects last?

10. Are your side effects permanent? (Which ones?)

Sorry for asking so much to include in your response, but it's important since many other people don't experience side effects at all.

I think my face is a little swollen but so far its going well. Has anyone experienced this?

I tore my ankle ligaments 3 weeks ago today, pretty horrendous injury and still about 30% off recovery but I believe the BPC has helped massively. I have been on 250mcg a day since a day after it happened.

However, not only do I feel like it has helped my ankle, I feel it has helped me lose fat? I am slightly leaner than I was and a pound lighter, this is considering I have went from 15,000 steps a day to about 3000 if that.

Is there any evidence this could be related to the BPC or just a strange coincidence?

I've been lurking this sub for a few days while I consider starting bpc͏-157, but I've seen a lot of posts on here talking about some frankly scary side effects which is making me starting to wonder if it's worth the risk. Do you have any methods that could help to mitigate the side effects, or are they uncommon enough that you would consider them negligible? I'm considering taking the compound because of a minor rotator cuff tear, and if bpc-157 can help me recover faster without too much risk, I'll or͏der it tonight. I just need to get back to work fast.

Hello everyone! My mom is on BPC-157 for pain in her hip following hip surgery. Her surgery was years ago but pain never subsided, so I recommended this. Started lower, but worked up to 400mcg twice a day. At first she injected into the hip, but has since changed to her belly area because after reading it is not site dependent, she preferred an area she could pinch. ANYWAY, her hip is rock hard right now. This is a new development. The pain is bad but the lump is just very scary. She took two weeks off and the hardness that was never there before (idk if it's a mass or what) still remains.

This is my mom so I'm freaking out. All vials were US sourced, had COAs, and we used high quality bac. Any advice?

So im on lexapro 10mg and ive been in chronic pain with my knees for the past few years, i decided to give it a go. I pinned 250mcg 3 days ago, and i felt okay and didnt feel really anything.

The next day i had this horrendous panicky anxiety feeling. I also was feeling it kinda before i even started because i was on caloric deficiet and training to failure.

Im in a limbo where im feeling back to baseline and feeling calm and okay again but wasnt sure if it was my nervous system already kinda cooked or it was the BPC

Few people have mentioned bpc can effect SSRI effectiveness but then i also see some people are fine taking both. Someone suggested dropping the dose to like 50-100mcg instead to let my body adjust.

Im in this crossroad because i dont wanna be in chronic pain anymore but also dealing with that panicky / anxious also would be shitty. Anyone else have some advice if they have been dealing with any symptoms or manageing to be able to take both at the same time?

I recieved my bpc from GG and i started with 250mcg last night for my right knee. I felt fine and this morning im having some pretty wicked anxiety and cortisol. My gut is kinda going crazy too. Is this a sign of bad peps? Im also on Lexapro 10mg.

Should i just discontinue? I dont really know if i wanna feel like this everyday.

Recently I wiped out pretty bad while riding my dirt bike and ended up tearing my rotator cuff in the crash. The foreman at the job site I'm working on told me that he healed a similar injury very fast using bpc͏-157, so I decided to ch͏eck it out. I looked around for places to get bpc-157, but all the med spas near me were out of stock. I don't really use the internet too much, and I'm not very tech savvy so I don't know where/how to look. Could you guys help me out? Thanks a bunch

I’ve had ongoing pain for about 6 months in the front of my shoulder/upper bicep area, likely around the long head biceps tendon. It originally started from carrying my daughter a lot and used to radiate into my clavicle/chest area, but more recently it had improved and would only hurt in certain positions, especially overhead movements like putting my arms behind my head.

I recently injected BPC-157 locally near the area. Initially, it actually felt better after the injection and the pain decreased. However, about 8 hours later, the pain started getting worse than it was before the injection. Now the pain comes in waves and the area feels more reactive and sore overall, even outside of the positions that normally triggered it.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar?

Hi all,
I’ve been struggling with degenerative enthesopathy in my left forearm for 3 years now (May marks the third). I’m also post knee surgery as I tore my meniscus about a year ago (surgery was in December, unrelated to forearm).

Im a very active person and frequent the gym 4-6x a week, and even though I’ve done a lot of therapy for my forearm, none of it seems to help, even though it doesnt affect my daily training almost at all (virtually no pain except forearm focused rehab/exercises and slightly weaker grip).

Having read so many positive experiences with BPC-157 I started to wonder if this could be the thing that helps me.

Did any of you have a similar experience with forearm injuries and could tell me how did it go for you after you tried BPC?

I’m not really concerned about my knee, the rehab process is going quite well but I figured the knee might get some help from the peptide anyways if I’m going to be using it

Thank you all in advance!!!

I injected 10 mg BpC 157 and 5 mgt b 500. I injected 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The first two weeks I only injected BPC 157. After that the pain was gone. But 3 days later the pain was back. So it did reduce the pain temporarily.

Now I'm not sure if I should inject myself again or not because I'm worried the pain might come back again. Some people told me that I didn't inject enough. I want the pain to be gone forever and for my elbow to heal completely.

8 year shoulder issue and a recent lower back strain that’s not improving. Would injecting in belly be best to hit both areas? Not keen on lower back injections

So I asked my eye dr about BPC when I was there for an unrelated issue, because frankly that scares me. He had not heard of BPC but when I explained that it does cause neovascularization in a small percentage of users eyes, he didn't seem nearly as concerned as I would expect. I asked is that not a big deal? He basically alluded to the fact that it was probably something that would be in users who would have higher risk for that in the first place, and jumped straight to people with a family history of diabetes.

I'm not saying this means anything, especially with him not being familiar with BPC, but I'd love to get more eye drs and specialists to weigh in on that, if they think its something that only specific groups are at risk for vs everyone.

Its one of my biggest fears about BPC because my vision isn't great to begin with, but this stuff really makes a huge difference to my chronic pain and i'm only taking 250 mcg orally. Right now I've stopped and this is the main reason, but I'd really like to do another month or so cycle for my gi issues and while I work on PT/exercise for my chronic pain.

Anyone else notice their energy tanking after a few weeks on BPC-157?

This is the second time I go on it and start noticing feeling unrefreshed despite sleeping very well. This doesn't happen right away, it seems to develop after prolonged use.

The first time, I was taking 500mcg twice a day and my energy was starting to tank somewhere into my second month or so. I can't remember accurately because when I felt it, at first I thought it was from life in general. I was extra busy, it was in December, the festive season, etc. But I went off it when I had some out of character insomnia (which may be or may not be related)

And so I went back on it 3 weeks ago at 375mcg twice a day, and just in the last few days started noticing it again.

I've read a lot of people get this lethargy in the first few days, but for me I'm fine in the first couple of weeks at least. It seems to tank my energy much later on.

Purely anecdotal and I could be misattributing it but still worth the suspicion.

Anyone else relate?

I’ve been on Wolverine for a few years for chronic illness. I usually subq 500mcg a day. Tweaked back today doing something stupid. I think I can do 500 mcg twice daily. Trying to find max I can dose. Just checking myself on dose

Im 1 month into my Weolverine stack 500 / 500 tb500-bpc157. Im 1-2 days to being finished.

I always had one eye that had slightly worse vision then the other, but recently i feel like its gotten worse..

I need to go to an eye doctor to get it tested. To see if it really got worse, but i swear things up close now are really blurry now... never was this bad..

Thankfully im on my last day of this stuff.

Other sides i felt:

Little fatigue right after the injection.

Dopamine.. i am in a dopamine fast of sorts on my own, but this feels almost.. extra.. 0 morning wood right now.. however i can attribute this mostly to my withdrawl and lowish T levels, not bpc157.. but who knows.

I will post back with updates after the exam and once ive been off it, little worried about this eye thing thou..

Backstory: Around 12 years ago I was given antibiotics for a nasal infection and afterwards i was left with a white tongue coating that never fully went away until now. My breath would smell really bad even after brushing my tongue (it kinda smelled like a very low level infection) and biofilm would constantly cover my tongue. No amount of mouthwash or brushing or drinking more water would work.

After injecting BPC 157 into my abdomen, it seems like my issues were cured. I was wondering if someone experienced the same thing. If so, what were they diagnosed with. Are the gut healing effects of BPC permanent?

P.S. I went to a doctor and they just told me to brush more.

I broke my ankle 3 years ago and had surgery on it. I did a 2 week cycle 6 months after surgery and it helped, intramuscular and not sure of the dose tbh. The thing is i was on suboxone at the time so any anxiety, depression, stomach problems went unnoticed because i was already so constipated from the suboxone/blunted emotional state that nothing bothered me. Im almost a year off of suboxone, a year off my antidepressants (cymbalta) and im struggling with depression. Im wondering if doing bpc intramascular injections will effect my mood? It didnt last time but really with all the meds I was on i dont even remember much. Like at all. Just looking for anecdotal experiences, I suppose. I haven't started yet and im debating not because of all the horrible side effects ive read. On the other hand I work a very physical job 40 hrs a week and my ankle is killing me, even three years after the trimalleour fracture surgery. i wanna do another 10 day cycle with a small dose but im scared of the depression/ anhedonia, any advice? Thanks.

I suspect the answer will be no, but ya don’t know what you don’t know, so it’s best to ask. Please don’t flame me.

If you are going to use more than one peptide on your rat, can you draw up from two different vials into the same syringe to minimize numbers of sticks?
