Just took my first dose 5 mins ago.  Starting at 1 mg.
Feel flushed already!  I think this is a potent batch.

Greetings Melanogirl,
 
Thanks for sharing the status of your Melanotan experiments with us!
 
I would ask that if you indeed are planning on taking before and after pictures that you try as best you can to follow the example of some of the original Arizona studies and take your pictures to match the one found here.
 
Thanks!

Just curious, Why did you start at 1mg?  I just got mine this morning and am thinking i should start small as well, my weight is 125, any thoughts or suggestions?

I weigh around 182-185 lbs, but I wanted to start slow in order to minimize the discoloration from skin damage and moles.  My skin is slow to heal, so I didn't want to risk dark scars.  Also, I'm not all that crazy about the idea of nausea.
 
Symptoms from my first injection:
 
- woozy/big-head feeling
- dizziness standing up (I have low blood pressure normally)
- lethargy
- no nausea
- seemed like I was eating a lot (but maybe I was eating moderately, and felt fuller than I normally would b/c of the melanotan II)
- no horniness outside of the usual (see lethargy, above)
- took a nap for an hour, breath rate quite suppressed, it seemed like.  I woke myself up a couple times with big breaths to make up for it.
- some discomfort/itchiness at injection site, but no biggie
- flushing of skin at face, hands, neck
 
I took a pic last night, after the flushing went away.  Have a controlled environment with camera and light source mounted in place, so the pics should come out pretty uniformly.
Won't share pics until there's something to see.
Day 1, complete.

I just used the instructions in the reconstitution thread and then injected half the amount in the jar.
I might get some degradation on the second half of the jar, after a couple days in the fridge, but I don't expect it'll be too bad.

By jar, do you mean vial? or are you actually using a jar?

Also, I plan to save the jars, so I'll have 10 jars for the next cycle instead of five.

Yes, I mean a vial, and so I mix 2 cc in each vial, an only inject 1/2 of it at a time.

Okay, this evening, after struggling to get the second dose out of the first vial, I've come up with a better idea for next time.
Just take the doses from the original vial into one syringe for each, and then freeze the syringes.
No more struggling to get the last drip out of the vial!
Can you guys think of a reason why this wouldn't work?

Okay, Melanogirl,
          If you injected half of the vial at one time, that would be 5mg, right??  Didn't the vials come 10mg/vial?

No, I received 10mg in one vial and 4 empty vials, and divided it equally into 2mg per vial.  So that's 1mg per dose.
Two disadvantages, I have to refreeze every other dose once, and I have to try to get the last drop out of the vial every other dose.  I think freezing the syringes directly, maybe with some air in them to prevent cracking, would be a smart solution to both these problems.

All this complication is unnecessary. Adding the proper amount of diluant to the vial and storing in the fridge is perfectly fine for a week. Here's an example ... let's say you receive one vial that contains 10mg of peptide. Let's also say that your body weight dictates that 1.4mg is what you should be using per injection.
 
10mg/1.4mg = 7.14cc
 
Therefore, squirt 7cc of diluant into the vial and you will have 7 injections worth at the proper dosage concentration in that one vial. Store this vial in the fridge. Of course, you should be using a brand new needle for every injection. You will just need to waste one needle loading the diluant into the vial.
 
Do not use 2mg per injection unless you weigh over 200 lbs ... it is not a blanket dosage level especially for a girl who could weigh half that weight. Use the formula found in another post here to figure out how much you should be taking.

I thought Oliver said that if it is not stored in the freezer it degrades?

Thats correct.  
It degrades. It won't become useless after 7-10 days of storage but it will loose a lot of activity. If you don't believe, simple check out the instructions from different peptide suppliers over the internet. How fast it degrades depends on the sterility of the supplier has made it.

Okay, if the melanotan II would be cheap no problem at all. Let it lay in the sun the whole day. But therefore melanotan II is too expensive. This is what I have found on the homepage of the largest Pepitde Supplier in the world (AS FAR AS I KNOW???)
 
STABILITY AND STORAGE  
 
 STABILITY AND STORAGE  
Storage of items in this catalog (General) Recommended storage temperatures for the items in this catalog are listed below:  
Description Storage  
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
RT room temperature  
2-10 degree C refrigerator  
-20 degree C freezer  
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
In the case of storage at room temperature, do not expose the items to temperature above 30 degree C for a long time or to direct sunlight. The recommended temperature description for each item is given prior to the compound name in the catalog.
 
"melanotan II looks like a Peptide from the 4000 Series"
 
Stability and storage of items of the 4000 Series:
Biologically active peptides in the 4000 Series should be stored in a freezer and kept dry to prevent unnecessary deterioration, even if they are stable at ambient temperatures for several days. Almost all biologically active peptides are readily soluble in water or suitable solvents as indicated in the instruction sheet. Peptides in solution are relatively unstable at temperatures even lower than -20 degree C, therefore, a peptide solution once prepared should be used as soon as possible. If the solution must be stored overnight, it should be kept in a freezer at temperatures lower than -20 degree C. In the case of prolonged storage of the peptide in solution, the homogeneity of the peptide must be reconfirmed occasionally.

So  if i'm receiving 2 vials each containing 10mg of dry melanotan II powder - how should i go about reconstituting it or splitting it up into different vials? I'm receiving 20 mg which means I will have mear 13-14 doses - anyone have any idea on how i can do this? the supplier will not split it up into individual doses.
