I’ve been running 12iu growth pre bed for 3 months now give or take, but unlike my previous dose increases the lethargy doesn’t seem to go away and now it’s to the point of I need to sort this lol. In the gym everything is great but outside that I’m constantly tired and could take a nap at any moment. I’ve tried stims but they give me insomnia and my hr gets a bit while im going to failure. I tried motsc didn’t really notice anything but I will try it stacked with other mitochondrial and atp peptides. And now I’m chugging coffee like water. Wondering if anyone has been able to mitigate gh fatigue at higher doses especially since I want to run it higher.

Honestly brother, lowering the gh dose was the only thing that helped.

I’ve ran it as high as you, and was exhausted all the time, falling asleep mid day, I’m prescribed adderall which I barely take ever anymore but when my dose was that high I had to use it just to even be able to half way function, and even with that, I was still fucking exhausted and lethargic.

Which if you know anything about adderall or have taken adderall even at therapeutic doses that’s rare to feel that way on lol.

Only thing that really mitigated the fatigue was going back down to 8 and even then I’d still feel that lethargy shitty feeling, so went back to 6 and 6 is my sweet spot.

Sometimes it’s just not worth it to be on compounds or doses of whatever if it’s effecting your everyday life quality, whether it be shitty sleep, mental health, lethargy whatever it maybe.

Don’t be afraid to drop back down and cruise on a lower dose for a bit. Esp if your quality of life is suffering bro.

When I push in a growth phase I’ll titrate it back up to 10ius for 4-6 months and deal with it but after that I’m coming back down everytime.

6-8 gives plenty of the same benefits without the exhaustion and lethargy etc.

Unless you trying to be 300lbs lean or already are, going from 12 to 8 or even 6, you’ll still see the benefits and less sides.

Just my two cents anyways.

In uk it’s hard to access Adderal but I’ve been using dexamphetamine recently which is one of the amphetamine salts in adderal and yea I still feel physically tired but I’m stimmed up so it evens me out but I get insomnia even at doses I don’t get stimulated. I’ve ordered a dual orexin receptor antagonist hopefully that will knock me on stims without the negative effects of Z drugs.

Kind of comes with the territory but you can try splitting the dosage am/pm to see if it helps. Or am/pm and pre/post workout
Hell yeah bro

Love pre lift gh tbh, lol, went back to doing mine in the am strictly everyday cuz for some reason it started fucking with my sleep quality, and I use to do am years ago esp when it’s not a high dose, and rn I’m only on 4ius, getting ready to end my blast tomorrow and cruise,

but any how I do my Gh shot IM like 2 hours before my lift in the am. Love it. Pumps are insane. Just look way fuller and my sleep isn’t messed up from the gh anymore. Not sure why my sleep got fucked up to begin with by it cuz it use to give me amazing sleep but somewhere along the line it started making me wake up after 2/3 hours starving all the time and my rem sleep dropped dramatically and overall sleep quality tanked started seeing way more wake ups through out the night and my recovery dropped off a cliff as well because of it.

Funny how the body changes as we get older, what was once tolerable or brought benefits no longer does etc.

I tried split dose couple times each time I would bang my workout then fucked off the rest of the day lol

Yeah bro which is why I don’t really take my adderall anymore, I’m very similar in that regard, no matter how early I take it, insomnia follows, so I just gradually stopped using it over time, and just deal with my adhd issues without meds, I take it a couple times a month before my script is due for a refill to have it in my urinalysis test so I can keep getting the script but other than that, I prefer to go without it these days.

It helps and makes my day much easier and better but only for so long because the insomnia and lack of sleep starts adding up and then it’s counter productive.

I’m curious to know what your Blood glucose readings are, cuz if it’s causing BG issues, that can def attribute to fatigue and lethargy as well, something to keep in mind.

Yea the lack of sleep builds up quickly for me since on stims I’m awake closing my eyes the whole night. I’ve started Donepazil today hopefully using it will warrant for a lower dexamp dose and use a sleep aid

I’m using glargine aspart and empagliflozin rn so bg is in control but otherwise is consistently 140 fasted and and gets up to 230 post meal maybe I could try get insulin on script this way lol

Lethargy is expected at higher gh doses. I just bumped from 4 to 10 now that I’m back on an offseason cycle. I’m tired as fuck, but I’ll get used to it in a week or two.

Dosing preworkout also can cause lethargy. I recommend all of it before bed unless you’re doing it IM preworkout with rapid insulin. Even then, I’d do the majority of it before bed.
 
This is why you’re lethargic. You need to be running insulin. Keep fasted under 100. You’re in diabetic territory my friend.

My wording was wrong I’ve been using lantus and novorapid around meals my fasted is 92-95 and post meal 115-135 but what I wrote is otherwise if I don’t use slin which i only check once a month
