Pulsed Rapamycin, Sleep, Energy and Skin: my first week

Posted by greg208 in Longevity & Anti-Aging - 1 points, 0 comments.

I started a once‑weekly 4 mg pulse of rapamycin a couple of weeks ago because I read that it can trigger autophagy and help with ageing. I’ve had no major issues so far, but I noticed that my sleep has become a bit lighter – I fall asleep quicker but wake up more often in the middle of the night. Energy during the day is steadier, with fewer crashes after my training sessions, but I do get a mild metallic taste in my mouth on the days after the dose.

The skin feels a little tighter and I’ve seen a subtle reduction in fine lines compared to before I started. I’m a bit worried about the potential for mouth sores and the reported lipidaemic rise, though I haven’t seen any change in my cholesterol yet. Anyone else with a similar routine?

What do you notice in the first month? Thanks.
