DNP: the uncommon side effects... please share

[fuzzy]

I have noticed a few.

I seem to have this deep stiffness, not at all like muscular soreness especially when I sit down fo a while or sleep.

My whits on my eyes are turning yellow. Based on what I have read no male is recorded of having formed cataracts, but noticeably yellow eyes are rather disconcerting. Also, based on some things I have heard yellow whites could indicate liver problems.

Some info if it helps

That's actually pretty common. Not sure what the cause is, but a lot of people I know get that deep muscular soreness, especially after sleeping and especially in the hips and shoulders (what you're lying on). It seems to be more of a problem at higher doses and it goes away once you get up and moving.

It's not unusual for DNP to make the whites of your eyes a yellow color. It's not related to jaundice or liver problems. It's simply the DNP acting as a dye. Once you go off the DNP, the color of your eyes will return to white.

Also, there definitely are case reports of DNP-induced cataracts in males. In the 1930's, there were 164 case reports of cataracts. Three of those cases were in males. (Horner, W. D. A Study of Dinitrophenol and Its Relation to Cataract Formation. Trans Am Ophthalmol Soc. 1941;39:405-37) This is what Horner said:

Only three males are believed to have acquired cataracts from the use of dinitrophenol. Cogan (87) and Rundles (88) reported one case each, whereas the third came to my attention in San Francisco.

Jaundice can be liver problems.

That's true, but irrelevant. The yellowness from DNP is not jaundice. It's caused by DNP being yellow.

I've gotten (and still have) the muscle stiffness in my shoulders and hips. It feels like I've gotten a bad cramp and after it's worked out, just the soreness is left. Both hips and left shoulder on different days. It takes me about a day to get rid of it, and it's there right after I wake up...when it happens.

Other than that, no other weird side effects, unless you consider not sweating an odd side effect.
