HGH and Sleepiness?

[mikeheavypecs]

Hey guys,
I am having a major problem. I am falling asleep in the morning driving to work. I take 4ius of GH at 6:30am. I leave the house at 8am. I notice after the shot that I feel very drained of energy. When I leave my house to go to work, I am already falling asleep at the wheel before I reach the end of my street!

has anyone else experienced this with GH? I was fine before GH. I need to find the source of this sleepiness. Maybe I should change the time of my injection?

Thanks!

Mike

I was having the same issue and it was so bad that I had to stop the GH until I research the lethargy issue. I was sleepy all day, not only after my shot. I started at 2iu in the AM then lowered it to 1iu. Lethargy was still there. Some people say it's due to Thyroid suppression. Some say taking T4/T3 doesn't help. Looking forward to hearing opinions too.

It usually passas after a few weeks.

Not sure why but Jins never made me nearly as sleepy as the blue tops do.

i was thinking bout the same thing...used once jin and didnt get bloated and sleepy like the blue/other generics....but if i remember correctly i had more sides like CTS while on Jin

if you drink alot of water before going to sleep you will wake up in the middle of the night. shoot the grow then.

the other possibility is that you are consuming too many carbs too close to the shot. this can make some sleepy

yea I know exactly what your saying bro I used to take 4ius HGH in the morning also and go to work and fall asleep and just be drowsy and lethargic as hell. Now I do 8IUs post workout with slin and its even worse, yea..

hmmm, I guess i will order some T3 and seee if it helps. This morning I experimented and took my shot right before leaving the house and it seemed to get me more time driving to work.

Thanks for all your posts, buds! I'm just now starting my 3rd month on GH and this never was a problem until 2 weeks ago (wonder what in my body has changed?)

YES, YES, YES! Absolutley! I added 25 mcg T3 in the am and was fine! I also switched my injections to 3 iu in the am and 3 iu PWO or in the evening! Try splitting your dose and if that doesn't help, Thyroid is most likely the culprit.

i cut my GH a few months back from 4-6iu in the morniing to 2iu in the morning (currently running 3x wk theory right now) and had no sleepiness any longer and felt energetic.

 

[Fa Seeshus]

yeah, in terms of energy level, 1.5 iu a day is optimum for me. any more than this and i start to get the lethargy sides.

Hey Fa! But is there any muscle growth occurring at that small amount?

Thanks,
Mike

Blue tops at 2iu/day were like sleeping pills for me. I switched to Serostim at a 6iu MWF PWO and I'm not feeling as lethargic! Which leads me to believe that higher purity equates to less sides??

 

[Fa Seeshus]

no, not as much muscle growth at that level. I am an athlete who needs to stay below a certain weight. a low dose of gh everyday keeps away tendonitis and lets me handle a higher training volume.

i get more size off hgh running it EOD or ETD at a higher dose. that is not my goal now though.

Gh makes me very sleepy

Hey guys. I too, have experienced drowsiness and lethargy from taking only 4iu of jin. I've done two cycles. I found however, that it also helped me sleep better at night, because normally i'm a light sleeper and wake up numerous times during the night. I currently wake up at 3:30am to go to my 1st job by 4:30am, so currently no gh- besides can't afford it lol, but i found when i was taking it, if i took it after my workout with slin, then took a 1-2 hr nap, i felt completly refreshed. I guess for those of us that experience the fatigue, it is best for us to take it after workouts on workout days and maybe all in the evening instead of half in the morning and half at night as I've often heard recommended. What do you all think on this?

This is sort of a guess, but are yuo guys having trouble with sleeping holding excess water? Jin is notorious for that - don't know about others.

Excess water in the tissues in the body, and this would include the neck/throat, may be the culprit. If so, it may well be that yuo're suffering from sleep apnea at night, so tired during the day. As others have noted, this is probably dosage-dependant - higher dose = bigger problem.

Just hypothesising...

 

[mikeheavypecs]

Dad,

Had sleep apnea before GH. Something has changed to feel almost some kind of drugged feeling of being sleepy. Lasts about 2 hours.

Wish it could be explained...

im experiencing severe lethargy from GRF/GHRP6 use

50mcg GRF1-29 + 125 mcg GHRP6 two times a day ( morning and PWO)

like im going to die lethargy hahahahhaa

im all hazy walking around half a sleep at work until i take my pre workout stim then im okay, its really bad

so is it really my thyroid? will t3 help?

i read something at life extension forum that they suggest either t3 or t4, i wonder which one is better?

actually i would rather not add another compound to my body and worry about thyroid suppression later since i plan on running GHRH for a loooong time, dont want to take t3/t4 that long either....but i cant function at work, shit! what to do?

i resurrected this old thread i hope to hear some new info on this, let me know guys, thanks.

 

[EDED]

bump, anybody?

am i the only one who gets horrible lethargy from this?

what mechanism causes this?

 

[vadim_b1]

measure your blood sugar and see for yourself.
that + thyroid is the cause in 99% of cases.

just another reminder to people that hgh is not a toy and it requires you to administer extra t3 and/or insulin in a lot of cases since your own production is suppressed.
