I recently started using HGH for the diagnose of HGH deficiency. I started 1 unit SQ everyday, then it was increased to 2 units. After the first week I started feeling very low energy and very sleepy. Anyone here with similar experience?
Thanks
Were you doing OK on 1iu per day?
What was your IGF-1 lab results?
If above was low, then 2iu may simply be making too many metabolic demands. You can drop to 1iu per day to allow IGF-1 levels to drop over a few days, then try 1.5iu and see if you feel OK with that.
Basically, you don’t feel right. There can be many causes. We see these issues:
- functional hypothyroidism, detected by low body temperatures, often as simple as iodine deficiency
- T levels too low
- estrogen dominance, you have posted with estrogen concerns a couple of years ago
- low cortisol, adrenal fatigue
- elevated prolactin
To get more specific:
- read the advice for new guys sticky
- post your lab work with ranges
- keep all of your “case” in one thread
