My first month on low-dose rapamycin – what I actually felt

Hey folks just wanted to share my quick log from the past four weeks on low-dose rapamycin (3 mg once a week). I’m a grad student in the Midwest and have been messing around with longevity stuff for a while so I figured I’d give it a shot. To be fair I didn’t expect fireworks but I did notice a few subtle shifts.

Around week two my recovery after late night study sessions felt a bit smoother I wasn’t as wiped the next morning. Sleep seemed a tad deeper I woke up less groggy even when I only got six hours. To be fair I also got a mild mouth sore after the third dose nothing major just a little irritation that went away in a couple days.

My lipid panel from a routine check showed a slight uptick in LDL but nothing alarming and my fasting glucose stayed stable. I’m gonna keep it going for another month and maybe throw in some spermidine on off days to see if anything changes. Would love to hear if anyone else has noticed similar things or if I’m just imagining the sleep part.
