I have recently began using MK677 (Ibutamoren) since August 4th. My first dose I started our conservatively and did 12.5mg/0.5ml as it's dosed 25mg/ml. I had mildy increased hunger, but nothing really noticeable or outside of the norm regarding my own natural hunger.
Now onto the weird part...
(Aug 4) First dose of MK677 within roughly 90-150 seconds I was in a full blown panic attack/PTSD style episode. I just had to talk myself down and remember it was a ticket for a ride that eventually ends. The actual crawling out of skin feeling lasted for about 3-4 hours before I was able to return to normal activity and comfortably sit in my chair without the occasional fleeting emotion triggering me to want to run full speed. Ironically as long as I stayed moving/pacing the actual situational awareness to my heart rate and the palpitation faded. It was only upon trying to stay still that it seemed the anxiety would exacerbate itself 10x fold.
(Aug 5) Second dose of MK677 I went way more conservative wondering if it at first it was my own psychosomatics playing into the fear mongering of myself as I'm taking a rather foreign substance imo than what I'd have traditionally injected or popped orally. I only dosed 5mg/0.2ml and had a slight spike in heart rate initially that I very noticeably felt, but it then fell off about an hour. Similar to that quick jump in heart rate you get after administering clenbuterol. I had no anxiety that night and went to sleep just fine.
(Aug 6) Third try dosing MK677 I went up to 7.5mg/0.3ml and boom triggered right back into a state of anxiety/PTSD/fight or fight. I'm not quite sure how to describe it. This time I wanted to see what I could use to quickly alleviate the issues and 0.5mg of clonazepam completely removed all palpitations and brought me back to my normal baseline + the mild sedative effect.
I'm coming to the understanding that there must be something inherently wrong with my body's own stress response and the cascading chain of events that occurs from a spike in ghrelin activity in my brain. I don't want to 100% throw in the towel yet as I feel this is something rather psychosomatic that I may be missing or that I may be able to utilize some known anti-anxiety supplements beforehand to offset the initial response my brain has to it. I've found a lot of various threads on reddit regarding people experiencing extreme episodes of anxiety without any real known past experience with stress related disorders. Also to mention there is a study that utilized MK677 as a means of enhancing fear in rats, but would that really translate over to humans?
I'm planning on removing THC completely from my body and trying this again soon.
I read all of your postings I found them helpful at the same time still lost when it comes to my decision to try taking mk677 again. I took one pill and I actually emptied just about half of it so it was a lower dosage. I took it in the morning after I ate because I read with help absorb slower and I actually felt good . I felt tired tho after about 30 min to an hour I can't remember because that night I went to sleep I woke up after about 5 to 6 hours of sleep (unsure if it was loud cars & neighbors that woke me or the MK. I had a long night didn't get to sleep at my normal time took my sleep med later than usual as well which is Seroquel for a sleep med... I also take keppra sense I went through some trauma and abuse where I was being sleep deprived on purpose and others things being done to me that induced seizures in me as cause Me PTSD I was told by a doctor.
When I woke up at like 7am I woke up in a panic and my heart was pounding I too felt heart palpitations felt like possiblity of an aura could have been triggered it took me a whole day to feel a little normal again. I'm still feeling a little energy come in go like anxiety but very lightly and goes away within minutes. I took a piece of Ativan which seem really helped make me feel normal as in brought down the panic feeling or fear feeling...Now I still feel like my body liked mk677 but my my PTSD didn't not sure what caused my heart to pound waking me me abruptly out of my sound sleep.
So my friend told me about Mk677 so that's how I heard of it .
I've recently been cleared of all seizure activity in my brain...but I do deal with depression anxiety when Under stress that induce panic attacks and flare up my PTSD I guess which can induce a seizure in me if I feel to much Fear.
My friend said mk would help me sleep better as I have read all the benefits mk677 has for sleep...but I am sensitive to melatonin so not everything can help me sleep healthy.
I haven't taken another mk pill sense the other day
I'm just scared of feeling that fight or flight feeling you speak of...And I noticed now that if I eat what is called rice con leche which is a little cup I eat everyday and had no problem until I took MK ,
Im wondering if it was the carbs and sugar in it like you mentioned might need to narrow down well taking MK ?
I'm wondering if mk messes with the glucose so levels to drastically, which can trigger seizures if they go up to fast and go down to fast which is also why people with seizures are supposed to stay away from foods that raise your glucose levels to fast like Banana pineapple mangos and so on.
I can say I still feel the good side effects after just one pill of mk but also some bad effects still lingering which are enough to scare me from taking another pill.
Do you have any feedback on my situation?
