Clen

**surfwrv32** · 06-03-2008, 09:04 AM

Hello all. I started taking clen yesterday and I have a question. This is my first time taking it(I always took ephedrine) and i notice that my hands are shaking. I know this is a normal side effect but is it normal to not feel any energy from it?

BTW.. I took 60mcg yesterday and will be doing the same today split over 2 doses.

Thanks for all your help!

**FirstTimeRage** · 06-03-2008, 09:06 AM

yes that is normal.

so are muscle cramps, migranes, and sweating.

**FirstTimeRage** · 06-03-2008, 09:07 AM

and increased HR, Blood pressure, for me i even get tired, not much energy at all.

**abbot138** · 06-03-2008, 09:10 AM

I feel like im bouncing off the freakin walls when I take it.

**teufelhundenjwa** · 06-03-2008, 10:27 AM

For me energy comes and goes. At times during the day I feel lethargic. Other times I'm my energy levels are off the chart.

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm the same as you FirstTimeRage, I take it and i shake but I feel like I could easily lay down and take a nap!

I did get a headache yesterday. Is that an on-going thing or does your body get used to it and they subside?

**XLCanadian** · 06-03-2008, 11:54 AM

they come and go

**Phate** · 06-03-2008, 12:09 PM

you'll get used to it after a while, make sure to ramp up slow or the sides will get really bad really quick

how are you running it, write out your cycle

**surfwrv32** · 06-03-2008, 12:57 PM

I was thinking as follows:

Week 1: 60mcg
Week 2: 80mcg
Week 3: 100mcg(With Benadryl)
Week 4: 100-120mcg
Week 5: 100-60mcg slowly cutting the dosage to 0

These are rough dosages as I am waiting to see how I respond to the sides. As of now I am only taking 60mcg /day split into 2 doses and I am shaking pretty good! I mean it's tolerable but noticable. Also, I have been getting headaches on/off.

Let me know what you think

**Phate** · 06-03-2008, 01:10 PM

i would ramp up every three days till 1) the sides are unbearable, then drop dose and continue at the lowered dose or 2) your bp gets close to 135/85, then drop dose and continue

i wish i got shakes at 60mcg, i use so much clen it gets expensive

the muscle cramps alone kill me, even wiht 3g of traurine, still does not help, if i look up to fast, i get the worst pain in my trps

you might want to bump the taurine to 5-8g/day then and make sure to drink at least 2 gallons of liquid per day, some people have trouble with cramps

personally i've been on 300mcg/day for several weeks with no taurine and i have no problem with cramps, but i'm weird when it comes to clen

**surfwrv32** · 06-03-2008, 01:39 PM

Thanks alot for your help. I will start moving the doses every third day. Tomorrow will be 80mcgs then.. Should be interesting!

**iagainsti** · 06-03-2008, 01:54 PM

No need to break your clen up over the day, it has a long half life. Just take your dose all at once. The sides usually diminsh after about a week. Im on week 3, running Benydrl and clen at 150mcg and the sides are completely gone. 1st week had shakes, headaches and cramps and now zelch.

**kaztor_troy** · 06-03-2008, 04:17 PM

Just curious guys if I'm at like day 14 and started Benadryl alst night but decided to cease Clen for the 7 days of Benadryl then get back on would that be better? Same effect? or for some reasona bad idea?

Thanks alot sorry to piggyback on ur thread bro but it's really really good =)

you can take it all in the morning, but optimally it should be taken in the morning and the afternoon, split into two even doses, though the results will be close to the same, just thought i'd add that in

no need to discontinue clen, i run clen for 6-8 weeks straight, though i take 50mg of diphenhydramine(that's the main ingredient in benedryl that upregulates your beta receptors) every night

**KatsMeow** · 06-03-2008, 07:26 PM

I just started last week too, your body will tell you(by the amt of side effects) when you can bump it up a little.
I'm only at 40mcg and can't even write...lol my hands are so damn shaky, giving myself injections are a SOB!

the whole time??? how many times you tried it like that vs the traditional way????

**Phate** · 06-03-2008, 07:49 PM

the traditional way the results weren't as good for me, there was a study done that showed that two weeks of clen is far from optimal and running it for a period of at least 4-6 weeks yielded much better results, but each person is different
