Men generally end up in the range of 2-5 tablets of 40mcg per day, although some people do claim to tolerate even higher dosages.
Women get by on less, generally 2-4 tablets daily.
Tapering down is not so important like tapering up, since your body needs to adjust to the drug.
Clenbuterol also exhibits an extremely long half-life in the body, which is measured to be approximately 34 hours. This makes steady blood levels easy to achieve, requiring only a single or twice daily dosing schedule at most. This of course makes it much easier for the patient to use, and may tie in to its high compliance rate.
The possible side effects of clenbuterol include those of other CNS stimulants, and include such occurrences as:
- shaky hands
- insomnia
- sweating
- increased blood pressure and nausea
These side effects will generally subside after a week or so of use however, once the user becomes accustomed to the drug. Actually, the appearance of these effects after around 1 hour after the intake of your first tab, is a strong indicator that you received a legit product.
Very quickly, Clenbuterol will elevate the body's temperature. The rise is not usually dramatic, perhaps a half of a Degree or so, sometimes a little more. This elevation is due to your body burning excess energy (largely from fat) and is usually not uncomfortable.
To be clear, the fat burning capabilities of this drug will only last for a limited time and then diminish, largely due to beta-receptor down regulation, your body will adjust and downregulate the effects of Clenbuterol. When using it for fat loss. the primary effect of the drug, it seems to work well for approximately 2-3 weeks.
After that point increasing the dosage would not be very effective, and a break for at least a few weeks should be taken before it is used again effectively.
However there is a solution to this by implementing a drug like Ketotifen into your cycle. Ketotifen has the unique ability to maintain beta-adrenalgenic receptor integrity for a much longer period of time. The usual dose has been 1-2 mg daily, before sleep.
Many competitors also find the fat burning effect of clenbuterol can be further enhanced by additional substances. When combined with thyroid hormones, specifically the powerful T3 Cytomel, the thermogenic effect can become extremely dramatic.
