Anyone tried Melanotan II?

[ZeOne]

OK, I couldn't find much references on Melanotan II, beside a few posts and Fergie's journal in which he quit injection after a few days because of side effects.

Have anyone else tried Melanotan II? what were your results?

[kloan]

I read up on it a couple weeks ago.. I was hoping I could take it since I don't tan normally, but after reading all the weird side effects, I decided against it.

it makes you (...well me) look like a cuban.

LOL,

Do tell me something Bana, do you use the tanning bed in order to tan when taking the Melanotan? or do you get to look like a cuban with no sun whatsoever?

I tan fairly easily, but I don't want to continue going to tanning saloons and damaging my skin with the UV

i ran some this summer, as i have in the past, i did get time in the sun. so i cant comment on how it would work in the absence of uva/uvb or whatever.

i got a lot of looks and questions like "do you work outside?" or "why are you so tanned?".

Interesting. Did you get any side effects? And what dosage were you running it at?

[BAM]

any large moles? freckling?

[kloan]

People on that forum say that once they either go to a tanning bed or go out in the sun is when the tan really starts to take effect. But I also read 6 minutes in one post... which doesn't seem that long.. and only a few sessions as well...

[gsxr750]

Hmmm first time i've heard of this stuff.. interested too.

[guest]

it can cause some new freckles and moles. which seem to subside after use. it makes you horny too.
i cant remember what dose i ran it at, but it was less than was suggested to me. i did a front load and went down in dosage from there. you will probably feel queasy on your first inject, that lasts for about 1/2hr.
a weird side effect i have noticed upon cessation is that my beard, which is not normally dark, becomes jet black. my buddy was calling me hollywood hogan for a bit.

[kloan]

lol, that's funny shit man.. i hadn't read anything about beards going darker... interesting. that'd bug me, since i get compliments on my beard... i'd have to shave it, otherwise that'd look awfully strange on me.

can you remember if you did .5mg/day or was it less? that seemed to be the average dose from what i read.

He went from white, to indian!

It looks like a photoshop job or something to be honest. And if the tanning is real, it is not good looking at all.

[kloan]

yeah, I saw that guy on the forum as well.. he's too dark, doesn't look natural. but I saw a lot of great looking before and after pics. Seems like potent shit though, that's for sure.. should note that guy stayed in the sun a long time as well.. so taking the melanotan 2 combined with a lot of sun can def cause that, especially if he took too much.

[guest]

lol, like i said...it can make you look cuban!

[Kiem]

That dude just way overdid it. If your easy to Tan like me you can go on a low dsoage .25mg-.50mg a night for about a week and tan in salon for 15minutes or outdoors for 1-2hour total you will see a significant difference. A
10mg bottle will be enough for the whole summer . The boner is nice but trust me, you'll be too sick to wanna do it.

[Gettin'r'round]

F'ing GARBAGE!

I was one of the first to get some MT-II and ordered a LOT. I ended up throwing it out and some $$ it cost me.

The #1 problem is that MTII stimulates melanocytes. Problem is moles/freckles are already an area of concentrated melanocytes pumping out more pigment then the surrounding skin. MTII turns these into OVERDRIVE. Even fine freckles become dark and ones you didn't know you had show up. I've got quite a few moles and freckles and it was so noticable I had to stop. You also need some sun to get the full effect.

[ZeOne]

Gettin,

What type of skin are you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_type#Skin_tone_variability

[Gettin'r'round]

Anglo-saxon and protestant! lol

Seriously mostly northern european with some central europe thrown in. Type II skin. I can tan easily but can burn easily as well. The freckles are not the "irish" type, ie red and everywhere (whew). It's a shame that MTII doesn't discriminate between skin melanocytes and mole ones. There is also a melantan forum, www.melanotan.org i think? Not sure if it will ever come to market but hopefully there is a metabolite/derivative that won't affect moles/freckles.

[JonnyO]

I use it regularly, take it before bed time .5mg maybe 3x a week. Works well. No issues with moles or freckles for me.

Do you still tan using UV (sun or tanning bed) though?

[Amoral]

My buddy's gf took it. No tanning bed, but she did work outside on a patio. Had to use skin whitener to un-tan her knuckles cause they got too dark in comparison. Said freckles/moles appeared faster than skin colour, but colour caught up quick. 0.5mg ed for first two weeks, then 1mg ed from there. 30mg total load w/ 0.5mg 2 x wk maintenance presently.

She said other sides were slight nausea, but very horny on 1mg shots. She's a lightweight, but I'm sure the same will apply to heavier males.

Transformation in approx 2 months as seen below...

[ZeOne]

nice, and no tanning bed...I like the color she got

[gsxr750]

I like her mouth, and the hicky on her neck not gonna lie.

[guest]

tan for 5min once a week and you will get dark. i would anyway. it would take my 2 days to get as dark as that girl above. i can be cuban in two weeks.

i ran it like JonnyO .5mg every couple days. loaded with a full mg day one and two i believe.

[Amoral]

Keep in mind that she never had a tan until MT-II - you'll prob tan way easier than her if you're not fair skinned like Banacek mentioned

[Anatomy]

The first time I took it I was only on it for 4 days before getting stranded in the sun... I spent 4 hours in sunshine that would usually burn me in 20 minutes and I thought I was f"/$"/ed. Turns out I just got a wicked tan and the strangest part was that I didn`t even get tan lines... covered parts of me tanned as well. Same sides as everyone else; upset stomach, libido, moles, freckles and I`ll also add that I got dark spots in the 2 spots I used to inject (look like bruises). The tan stayed a long time and I got A LOT of positive comments from people. I have done it 2x since then and will do it again

What about the moles and freckles, did they go away after cessation of MT-II?

Actually, story for ya here.

The bf of the girl above actually wanted to try this himself. The girl got interested and he pointed her in the direction of webistes etc for her to do her own research. He was afraid of the freckling as well, but since she'd never had a tan before, she used the MT-II instead of him.

When she first used it, I went to visit her at her work, and honestly, I thought she had dirt on her face since the moles she already had turned real dark. Her tan caught up within weeks, but there's always gonna be that first bit where the moles are darker than the surrounding skin it seems.

Her tan has faded slightly as I just found out she's not on maintenance anymore, but it actually looks way better now (more natural) and the colour of the moles have subsided with ceased use. They're still darker than months ago, but they're relatively coloured with respect to the surrounding skin.

Take it for what it's worth, but honestly, I'm scared shitless of those little black moles to the point where I'd probably dig them out myself if I ever decided to use melanotan. Not worth it IMO unless you have a show coming up or are heading on vaycay.

[JonnyO]

I dont hit the beds right now, and show a decent tan.

Suring the SUmmer I was in the stand up bed for 3 minutes maybe 5-6 times before I went to Vegas. I had a good base before going there. In Vegas is was 112 degrees and I was at the pool every day drinking for most of the day with no blocker or sunscreen and didnt get burnt once, had a killer tan after the first day it was awsesome. Didint look odd either. I guess it depends on your skin type, I tan nicely naturally anyways so I guess I looked better than someone who is more naturally pale and doesnt tan very well.

[Gettin'r'round]

I still remember trisoralen. Did have the side effect of possibly darkening the eyes but if you used a tanning bed with goggles this shouldn't be a problem. I remember a bro who took some then stayed out all day in the summer. Dude looked black/indian with blond hair and blue eyes lol. Don't remember any issues with moles either.

[Amoral]

I like her mouth, and the hicky on her neck not gonna lie.

I do too, gix, I do too lol

[Anatomy]

What about the moles and freckles, did they go away after cessation of MT-II?

yeah; all gone now and completely back to normal.

I don't really think that anything new formed, just darkening of what was there. A brown mole on my wrist turned almost black but is now back to brown and the few freckles have vanished.

They seemed to fade a little slower than the tan but never really looked unnatural

[saffy]

Hi guys...

I realize this thread is a year old but I'm going to leave this here anyway in case people are still checking this out for info on Melanotan II or other derivatives or Melanotan.

First let me say that I'm in no way connected to any MII or derivative sales operation of any kind. I'm an independent researcher who has an interest in this subject because I've been following the progress of Palatin's "Barbie" drug from day one.

Results from this substance are going to vary widely.

You white guys are always going to have some inconsistencies issues with the way the darkening applies iself. The reason for this is genetic. Melanin production is controlled by a gene known as SLC24A5, and white people have a mutated variant version of this gene which in extreme cases, under normal circumstances, produces almost no melanin.

So those of you with very pale snow white skin and light blond hair and light colored eyes are always going to get some blotchiness from this. It's because the very small amounts of melanin you DO produce in spots like moles and freckles are the only places where natural melanin production occurs, and only because the cells in those spots contain data which tells them how to apply melanin to the skin which may or may not be present in the overall control mechanism supported by the SLC24A5 gene... I'm talking about the people who can't tan here, the ones who burn inside 10-20 mins.

People like that who use this will always get the blotchy knuckles, toes, knees and elbows when the melanin production kicks in because the MII just applies itself evenly across the whole epidermis and doesn't have the genetic knowledge encoded in your genes to tell it to chill out on the joint spots like the knees and elbows etc.

But if you're one of those people, and you want to use this for aesthetic purposes like competitions, one thing you COULD try is balancing out the overproduction at the joints at the start by using some sort of fake rub on tan on the rest of the body and avoid using it on the joints, then stop using the rub on tan cream after a while.

The guy who brought up the issue of getting an indiscriminate all over tan after 20 mins in the sun brings up another interesting point... the UV rays stimulate melanin production, right? But if the body doesn't naturally have a control gene that knows how to tell it that melanin needs to be produced at point A and B but not C, like with the extreme SLC24A5 variant, then the UV rays are going to just apply the melanin that gets produced to the whole of your skin regardless of whether you cover an area up or not.

One odd side effect though might be that you end up with a really, really dark rectum lol. I don't know if the guy who got the all over tan bothered to check but I'd bet his anus got really really dark... the scrotum would probably get very dark as well, the foreskin too if he has one. I bet those areas went black guy dark on him.

Now for darker skinned people who tan nicely and tan very dark, most of you will also have dark hair. Well, the darkness in hair is because of the same melanin that darkens the skin. So yeah, your hair is going to go darker with regular use, probably to the point where it looks like the blue black dyed hair used by pro wrestlers, rock stars and movie stars. So if you're fond of your salt and pepper look, this is going to be a tradeoff.

Personally I would not recommend using tanning beds when you use MII. The reason for this is because of the way the concentrated UV acts on the body. If you go back and look at the pics of that one dude who went from a little brown to Hindu brown, take a look at his hairline and around the eyes...

That guy falls into the category most white people are going to be in.... a diluted, less inbred version of the mutated non-melanin producing SLC24A5 gene which carries in it more information on how to apply melanin to the skin. So if you use a tanning bed with those stupid goggles and you have long hair, it's going to accentuate the pale eye ring and the spot on the hairline where the tanning bed doesn't get to because of hair getting in the way even more than usual... that's why that dude had the rocky raccoon thing going and the terrible looking hairline.

So if you are going to use the beds, I'd skip the goggles and just make sure to keep your eyes shut tight the whole time, and tie your hair up in a topknot if its long hair like mine (mine almost comes down to my ass) or slick it back with water or gel before you go in so that the UV rays from the bed hit your face all the way to the top of the hairline on the face and on the back of the neck. Otherwise you are going to look pretty fake and baked, and people will probably laugh at you which isn't exactly the result we're looking for here, is it?

I'm glad to see info being shared here about common sense dosages... you have no idea how many idiots are out there knocking back 1/4 to 1/2 of a 10mg vial at a time. IMO listen to the people here talking about .5mg or lower dosage and be patient because this stuff really, really works and going nuts on it will just end up giving you the mad black freckle look, because in a lot of white people the body needs to learn how to apply the melanin which it normally wouldn't or couldn't produce.

I came here searching for info related to the reported libido, weight loss and muscle mass gain properties of this substance. If anyone has any info they would like to share with me about their experiences with this substance, PLEASE post it here or email me.

Did you notice any sort of diuretic effect?

Did it really act as a secretalogue helping you produce more growth hormone ie did you find any noticable increase in the rate of your bodybuilding gains?

Does the horniness come with any other side effects like the blue/purple vision tint some people get from viagra, or a warm face, or the mind becoming fixated on sex or is it just the physical effects of horniness ie getting really hard or really wet?

my interest here is in whether or not this substance is actually stimulating the primordial parts of the brain which are hard wired toward procreation... do you end up getting sex on the brain in a way that makes it hard to focus on anything else until the urge is dealt with, or not?

See, the question is whether this is a true aphrodesiac or whether it's simply stimulating blood flow and mucus secretions. Think of it as the difference between what Viagra does and what MDMA does... the former gets you ready for sex, the latter gets you ready for sex AND puts sex on the mind in way that makes it impossible to ignore till you scratch the itch.

So in terms of inducing horniness, is this more like viagra, or ecstasy, or somewhere in between?

And when you mention nausea, are we talking just generally feeling nauseous or are we talking about hard core toss your cookies bulemia type nausea?

And did it affect your appetite and make you feel like eating less, or not?

Please contact me or post here if you have any info you wish to share. Your name won't end up in some publication, I just want the data for my own private research and none of it is for actual publication in any scientific journal... it's background work for a bigger project on aesthetic pharmaceuticals and performance enhancers and whether or not the current state of keeping these things taboo makes any sense.

Personally, I'm with you guys. I see no reason why this stuff is in the closet, and keeping it that way ends up driving organized crime black markets just like it does with recreational drug use. So any help you can give me compiling data just might help make it easier for you to get safer, better quality controlled products down the road.

Thanks.

Peace

Where the hell do you get this shit ????????

[Allen]

Stuff is great. Not only the tan but my dick works like thunder!!!

[Genome]

Where the hell do you get this shit ????????

Do a search on Google with Melanotan, there is a few distributors...

[CanadianIron]

CMS sell it. Its legal in Canada.

[Praetorian]

Ive used many different brands...the best was direct from the original manufacturer...so far nothing else has come even close to it. I was super dark in one week...on 1mg daily. The only issues ive noticed...both myself and my fiance was nausea which woudl last about an hour but then an overall feeling of just crap...you feel a very mild kind of sickness...its not liek the flu or anything you just dont feel good. As well if you go over 1mg my joints started to ache really bad sort of like tendonitis. It works great and I still use it prior to competition and before i go away on vacation but when im on it I cant wait to stop it.

[kloan]

Didn't administering it before bed help with the nausea?

[bigtavi8]

dont no if it was already sed but ppl say its good for getting boners!

[cog]

Might be good to help you fit in if you move to Miami.Sides sound lousy.
