I started DNP yesterday for the first time and I’m on 100mg per day, so I’ve taken it twice but I have none of the regular symptoms. Everyone says you’re supposed to get hot, but honestly I feel really cold. My feet and hands have the painful pins and needles sensation and are very cold, I can’t get them to warm up. Before I took dnp I used to have hot flashes because of my hyperthyroidism (that I’m on tapazole for) but for the last two days I’ve been so cold I have to stay wrapped in blankets all day with the heaters going.
Also whenever I squeeze my hands they go white, and take a long time to go back to their normal colour. It’s like something you would see with Raynauds.
I stopped taking tapazole a while ago and haven’t started back up because it suppresses your thyroid and I’ve heard of dnp doing the same thing, so much so that people have to supplement T3 and T4. So if I make too much of that, then having the dnp suppress it wouldn’t be that much of an issue. And being cold is a symptom of the opposite disease (hypothyroidism) where you make too little T3 and T4, so I’m wondering if either my dnp is fake, or I’m just taking too low of a dose that it’s only suppressing my thyroid and I’m not at the dose where I would lose weight?
If it is fake, are there any other compounds that would cause these types of symptoms? I just want to know if I need to be concerned about something else being in the capsules I’m taking.
As I’m writing this I know it’s retarded to do, but I am not disciplined and can’t diet, I’ve been trying since 2018 and I just gain weight bc I binge.
Should I keep taking it?
Prom is in a couple of months so I would like to take some sort of medication to help with weight loss but dnp is the only cheap option I’ve found that I’m willing to risk.
I’m a 17yrs 5’6 160lb female, if that makes a difference.
