Rapamycin - progress so far

Hi all, 

About me: I'm 46 y.o. medical doctor based in Europe and started taking weekly rapamycin 4 months ago. I go to the gym regularly and am in average physical condition for a guy of my age. The last couple of years have brought the first negative signs of physical aging: aches and pains that don't go away, increasing belly fat, a decline in gym performance, wrinkles and increased pigmentation, grey hairs as well as slower wound healing. Am venturing on this rapamycin journey to see whether it can  slow down the inevitable age-related decline and see how it impacts my aging longer term.

Where I'm at now: I started rapamycin 4 months ago at 2mg once weekly and have been slowly increasing the weekly dose by 1mg each month. Now at 5mg per week. I intend to continue on this dose increase scheme until I reach the highest optimal dose, beyond which side effects become an issue.

Currently have experienced zero side effects, not even mouth ulcers.  I have noticed improvements already in body composition (slight reduction in body fat) starting at the 3mg/week dose and most recently increased gym performance (cardio vascular and muscle strength increase) since being on 5 mg/week.

Intend to progress to 6mg/week in September.

Will at some stage probably try topical rapamycin on wrinkle / pigmentation problem areas as well. In Europe a rapamycin solution (Pfizer) is easily available in pharmacies.

Body pictures from today are attached.

      Burgundy Summer please give references to the studies you are referring to. I have read dozens of rapamycin studies and have not seen megadosing recommendations. Dr. Alan Greene uses 1 to 6 mg weekly for his patients. He himself takes 12 mg every other week. I take 7.5 mg. I get mouth sores at 8mg.

      The Pearl rapamycin study is using these doses:
      1.
       2.5mg Rapamycin 3 times a week
      2. 5mg Rapamycin once a week
      3. 5mg Rapamycin twice a week
      4. 10mg Rapamycin once a week

      David H Dr. Green and Dr. Bagosklonny are now taking 20 mg. per dose.  Follow on Twitter.  12-14 days between dosing.  The reason for this is they want a spike in the level of rapa in blood to get past the blood/brain barrier to the hypothalamus in the brain to max longevity benefits.  It is believed that the hypothalamus region of the brain is responsible for regulating ageing.

    • Van I like the big dose followed by a big break if you can tolerate it.

      Why not add days instead of subtracting mg. when you hit side effects?

      Alot of people say take as much as you can until you hit side effects and then back off 1mg, which seems fine, but strangely no one is saying when you hit side effects, add a day in your cycle until the side effects stop.

      I have seen the reference to large dose to hit hypothalmus and they were in 25mg range or something. So I would think you might be able to do that if you did it monthly. Maybe a rule of thumb would be match the mg dose to the days off.

      Fred Cloud You do not want to wait a month if taking 20-25 mg.  Just use the half-life calculator and you will see that 20 mg rapa at a 1/2 life of 62 hours is down to around 1 after 14 days.  In my experience, 1-2 mg on calculator and you should have no trouble taking another dose.  We really have been dosing too low in my opinion.  Of course, everyone is different, and you should skip more days if having side effects.  I have been taking 20-25 mg. every 12-14 days.  At 25 mg. after 14 days, you have less than 1 mg. in system.  I download half-life calculator app on my phone which is handy

    • David H the studies that gave the best anti aging effect were mega doses. the study that shower heart regeneration were at 40mg per day when converted to humans. the 60% lifespan increase were also in the 50mg plus per day. so it might be that the rejuvination that comes from rapa is due the demethylation, and thats why the higher doses are needed for effect

      Fred Cloud Exactly my thoughts! As mentioned below, I’ve been having side effects with just 6mg/week (skin infections), but my first option is going to be to space out that dose to once every 2 weeks rather than reducing it. Maybe I’ll even be able to increase it without side effects. 

      Like 1
    • Armando spacing out doses can deal with mtor2 levels and not shutting down your immune system, but rapamycin in general seems to shut down the innate immunity as dr green said. So if you dont have any luck adding days, you may try subtracting mg. Dr green prescribes 6mg week for all patients. I have been on it for over a year and I have never taken 6mg. I generally taking 4-5mg every 7-14 days. 

       

      From Dr. Green website-

      Side Effects: Bacterial Infection

      Rapamycin is a very potent medication. It should be taken as prescribed under medical supervision.

      One major effect is reduction of activity of innate immune system. The innate immune system is the first line of defense against bacterial infections.

      Increased risk of bacterial infections is natural effect. Everybody taking rapamycin should have antibiotics such as Zithromycin on hand."

  • Hi George, it's good that now quite a few doctors are in the network. It's a pity that the conference we were waiting for, an opportunity to physically meet in EU, hasn't taken place yet and all we have is zoom meetings - e.g. the HEALES meeting. I was the first to say we should have some physical meetup some time - just before COVID.. Longecity had them for years - when I wasn't even aware of these developments we talk about here. Until I read of the RAADfest of 2019. I've been away from the Forum for a while, just trying to find another country where to be able to use these medicines, while waiting for COVID to allow some travel. But having come back today I can see many good changes! I hope meeting becomes an option some time soon. I even spotted an Age Reversal doctor in Spain on the Age Rev. Doctors'list! Unfortunately on this site nothing is encrypted, not even the site's email (I left the social networks and I have only encrypted mail, Signal and  Mastodon). I had seen dr.Green-  that was to get started with the steps suggested as the first ones in the RAAD protocol of 2019. Only problem has been the EU, so I had to stop. Just sent a message to Peter, he says now it's possible to get Rapamycin in Europe - that would make things so much better. Still we can't be completeley on track with the testing to take part in the Netwrok's studies here. Thanks to you too for sharing your experience.

  • Besides reducing rapa dosage at the point you experience side effects, or adding days between doses there may be a third option to reach the maximum dosage without side effects. 


    Recall that Fahy showed in his TRIIM studies that growth hormone regenerates the thymus, which is pretty much gone by age 40. Most people don’t have access to growth hormone but if you did, what if you were to take a once a week dose of HGH? That is not enough to regenerate the thymus, which requires 3 doses per week, but it may be enough to retard thymus involution and have cumulative beneficial effects as well over time. 


    This is pure speculation, but I did discuss with Fahy, that since HGH is a TOR, if you take rapa on Sunday and HGH the following Saturday night, the small amount of rapa that is left in the system is effectively offset by HGH, thus dis-inhibiting TOR for a brief period until the next day's rapa dose. To the extent that is true, then you might be able to tolerate a larger dose of rapa. Anyway, I just started cycling sirolimus with growth hormone. I'll see how it goes.  Maybe it will be beneficial. Maybe not.

    3. Someone else reported that they corresponded with Dr.Green by email and he written that he was taking 20mg every 2 weeks.(this is different than what he said in a more recent interview in which he said 12mg).
    After reading this, I plan to to slowly increase my dose. I do eat a whole grapefruit 30 minutes before I take 7.5mg weekly. 
    I admit I was skeptical.about the higher doses.  Thank you to the members who posted about the higher doses.

    PS These are not my recommendations for anyone else. I suggest people should always do their own research.  I always feel better about dosing when I read original documentation directly from the Rapamycin experts.

      Dorian Gray I feel the same with rapamycin but I am not that concerned about how I feel. My biological age per the Levine epigenetic clock for aging and life expectancy is 19 years less than my chronological age(70). But I don't know what that clock calculation was before I started rapamycin.

      I recently increased my NMN daily intake to 1.5gr/day from 1.0gr/day.That has made me feel more energetic and clear minded starting the next day. That makes NMN the only supplement that that I feel. I am going to try to raise my rapamycin dose from 7.5mg/week to 10mg/week(matching the dose that Dr. Alan Green uses for himself before he changed to 20mg every other week). Dr. Green does a senolytic treatment with dasatinib and fisetin during the weeks he doesn't take rapamycin. Dr. Blagosklonny, a well known rapamycin expert, also takes 20mg every 2 weeks per his tweet which includes a video.

      chuck stanley Look at the Modern Healthspan channel on youtube. Today this channel posted a video in which Dr. Alan Green gave longevity protocol.  His rational is that D/Q's purpose is to kill senescent cells while rapamycin increases autophagy as one of its effects. Autophagy is a cell renewel process. It is Dr. Green's view that these should not occur at the same time. Dr. Green's voice is a little difficult to understand because of poor quality as audio equipment IMHO.

      Okay, that explains Dr Green’s reasons for moving to biweekly dosage. I just cant find any scientific basis for cycling the timing of D&F to coincide with a low blood level of rapa. Maybe there is a study or a correspondence we don’t know about. I cant find anything in Blagosklonny to suggest that taking senolytics during rapamycin therapy is contraindicated. My impression is that Blagaklonny thinks senolytics may be explained in part by inhibiting mTOR.  If that is the case, then senolytics and rapamycin are complementary rather than antagonistic, not just because they are both geroprotective but because they both are inhibiting TOR.  

      If anything I would expect that taking them together might be beneficial, maybe synergistic in that inhibition of mTOR is increased without the side effects of a higher dose of rapamycin.

    • David H Well thats odd because rapamycin acts on senescent cells too and contributes to some of the antiaging effect of rapamycin. It doesnt kill them like a senolytic, instead it acts as a senomorphic which means it puts the senescent cells to sleep for a couple of weeks, like fisetin does.

  • Hi George, I was wondering if you’ve had any problems with skin infections (which would indicate a weakened innate immune system).  I’m 59 y/o and have been taking 6mg/week over past 9 months and gotten 2 infections that seemed to proceed quite quickly. Treated both with antibiotics successfully, but am concerned that I’m weakening my immune system too much (too much MTOR inhibition?).  I’m going to start taking 6mg every 2 weeks to allow the rapa to fully exit my system.  Also seems logical that we should fully alternate between low MTOR and normal MTOR levels. 
     

    What might also be complicating my situation is that I take other things that reduce MTOR (eg metformin, curcumin extract, etc).  I’m not diabetic, but take the above for life extension purposes.

    • Ulf Rasmusson Incredibly, high dose papaya fruit extract boosted my neutrophils 80 % in three weeks. Can resume rapamycin, whilst continuing with the extract  which upped my lymphocytes as well, by 40 %.

    • Ulf Rasmusson My neutraphil % went up but my lymph% came down, dropping below normal range with rapa so my doctor recommended a mushroom formula.

      It will be some months before I know if it worked.

    • chuck stanley Could you share the mushroom formula? After the papaya, my neutrophils are in the ok range, but lymphocytes are still way below the normal range after getting drastically hit by dasatinib in D+Q

    • chuck stanley Thanks. Were you recommended two capsules a day? Hard to find clinical evidence, but testning it oneself is the ultimate proof...

      I boosted  lymphocytes fairly rapidly with cholera vaccine, but only supposed to take this once a year.

    •  Ulf Rasmusson Yes, 2 per day, but since it contains silymarin I only take 1/d. I've found in the past that too much silymarin gives me diarrhea.

  • It's been one year. 

    How are things going with the Rapa and your expectations from a year ago?
