Ok so I'm a skin type 1 with blonde hair and blue eyes male.I always tried to tan but only burnt.* I started using m2 a year and half ago and had amazing results. I started with .25 ml and worked upto .80 in a week. I used that every day for 30 days and by that time I had reached the tan I wanted. Then I began the maintenance phase at .80 1 x per week. I maintained my color nicely and when I went on vacation to bora bora a few months later I was able to get amazingly dark and never burnt even without sunscreen. After I got back I continued .80 1x per week and have been doing that for about 8 months. I only tan 1 x per week and sometimes miss that. I still have a nice golden color but not real dark. The evenings that I take my m2 I do have some sides like upset stomach ,fatigue and raging hard ons but I thought it was just par for the course. Now after reading the post here for several weeks I think my strategy can be improved.
* * My questions for the moderators are do I need to reload if I want to get darker or just continue maintenance?
Should I take smaller doses like .40 2x per week in order to lower sides?
What other sites do you recommend beside stomach?

Great story, appreciate the sharing Theworks* 8)
I do indeed suggest smaller dosages for maintaining - higher doses are generally associated with the aphrodisiac experience and/or side-effects to varying degrees. Injecting around the naval/stomach is my personal preference - the systemic subcutaneous injection really does not matter where administered. Best advice is to keep the body desensitized in order to avoid/minimize the side effects mentioned about by taking too much once weekly (250mcg every 3-5 days may suffice it), best of luck & please report back with success (or challenges!)
Great information thanks! So I started reloading this past Sunday with 300 mcg per day, previously I was using about 800 mcg* 1 x per week and had strong side effects. This was my maintenance dose after loading about a year and a half ago with 800 mcg per day until desired effects while dealing with sides like fatigue and annoying stiffies and massive yawning. I am having no sides with this lower dose. I plan to se this for a couple weeks then cut back to twice a week. One question though, how long does mt2 protect from burning after injection. When I take it with me on vacation with me should intake it each day before sun exposure.* Thanks
Melanotan best stimulates the melanocytes to produce melanin (which requires days to develop dark pigment) when administered subcutaneously before sun exposure (photo-protective effects from the hormone should be most active with the first couple hours). On vacation my recommendation is to pre-load vials upon arrival, then dose the smallest doses first & save the larger dosages for pre-exposure - dosing lower, with higher frequency helps keep the side effects to a minimum
