First cycle of HGH.

[Tatanka]

First let me say that I'm 33 yo, 6'1", 230 pounds at about 14% BF. I just started HGH for the first time. I have read a lot of articles on dosing techniques and such. I am just curious how many people are insanely tired in the beginning and what are some adjustments you made to overcome that fatigue. I started the first day at 2iu of Kefei. First day seemed uneventful other than slight tingles and tightness in my hands. Day 2, 3, and 4 were 3iu (don't ask how I ended up with 11iu when I only reconstituted with 10iu BAC cause I don't know). Day two I took a 2 hour nap about 20 minutes after pinning and I never take naps. Day three I was fatigued all day, but somehow managed to make it. Day four was the worst. No nap, but there wasn't time for it either. Just felt like I was two steps behind the power curve all day. I dropped dose to 1iu today and other than some slight hunger and only very slight fatigue, I feel fine. I understand that this may have to be my dose for a while, but wondering if anyone else had some insight. Thanks.

Re: First cycle of HGH.

I dont think it has ever made me sleepy, I think I have more energy...but I am about to be 44 also. If I take mine at night, I do sleep better (if my hands dont go to numb)

Re: First cycle of HGH.

makes me tired for about 20mins or so, 30 or 45 mins after pinning. it used to wipe me out for an hour or hour and half!! i think you'll get over most of it, but will continue getting a little tired and for far less time. i overcome it becouse i do it first thing in the morning, then on the way to the gym i do me pre-workout shyt.....that kicks in and i'm rockin!!

May be a coincidence. Been really busy with work and summer has brought several consecutive 100+ days. Just strange it's only been the last 5 days.

It made me tired for a month. Naps every day, and I usually only nap if I'm severely lacking sleep.

^Good to know. Hit only 1iu today. So far, so good.

Re: First cycle of HGH.

Once your body adjusts to the HGH the lethargy should taper off. Normally your body is used to HGH secretion happening during REM sleep.. so when you add exogenous HGH it's sort of tricking your body and making it think you should be asleep.

Wow, Pitt. Never thought of that. Wish I could thank that post 5 times. Thanks man. Was trying to keep
up with the Jones' at 3iu a day to start. Backed it off to 1iu a day. Staying there for a couple weeks until my body adjusts.

Pitt, the brings up another question. If the GH pulse happens during REM, does this mean that if you go to bed drunk, you won't get a pulse that night? I've always heard (but have no scientific proof) that when you go to sleep drunk, it isn't restful sleep because you never get to the REM stage of sleep.

It would definitely have a negative affect on GH release.

Thanks bro. A lot of learning I am doing every cycle. This is why FG is great. Because of intelligent people like yourself helping out the new guys.
