I've researched DNP for close to 2.5 months now and decided to try it. I have all of the supplements that I felt were necessary (Vitamin C, E, Potassium, Magnesium, NAC, water 1-3 gallons/day, 1900 calories with low-carbs and high protein)
My plan was to take 250 mg per day for 11 days. I took the first cap on May 20th along with all supplements. A couple of hours later, I felt a very slight tingling sensation on the soles of my feet, but thought nothing of it since PN is thought to develop around the 11 week mark with extended use, but can also occur as soon as 10 days.
The next day, I felt the same tingling (pins and needles) sensation but for a longer duration and only when I get a heat flash. More than once, I felt a sharp jabbing sensation that lasted only one second. Obviously, I have discontinued use and have only taken 1 cap in 24 hours. Is this PN or am I being too anxious? How can PN develop so suddenly and so quickly? All of my research has pointed out that it takes time to develop and usually on 500 mg+ doses.
I am thinking of stopping for now, but trying it again in 3 weeks to give it enough time for the tingling to go away. If the same happens, then DNP is obviously not for me.
