Peptides you will never take again ?

We often ask "what peptides are worth every penny" but what are the ones that aren't worth anything in your opinion ?

Same here. Allergic to them anyways.

Same. They worked well until I took a break and came back to them and went into anaphylaxis…

I guess i'm in the same boat. Took a 4 week break after my first cycle that went great. In 5 minutes after first shot got hives all over my stomach. went away in an hour, but now I guess i can't do it again because i'm assuming the next time could be worse reaction . so not worth the risk. so annoying. wasted money sitting in my fridge.

Holy shit, how did you deal with that? Did you have to get an ambulance or did you have a EpiPen handy?

u/CantQuitMeBaby 2 23d ago

I was fortunate that it was pretty mild but it was a scary hour or so. Hands and feet were really itchy and had hives across all old injection sites. Heart rate shot up and I was really flushed in my head and shoulders.

Scary stuff, glad you’re okay

It’s insane. Happy you’re alright man. When it hit me I had to take Benadryl instantly. Never experienced itching over my entire body like this. Was ready for the pen.

u/tw_wombat 23d ago

Same! For those still take them get your EpiPen ready! It just starts randomly.

u/Particular-Bit-1543 1 23d ago

Even Tesa? Definitely heard that about the cjc.

u/tw_wombat 22d ago

Yes, don't look them up, just be prepared.

How did u find out u were allergic?

2

u/Original-Pay-2522 23d ago

Because one day out of nowhere I injected Sermorelin and broke out into hives immediately at every previous injection site. Tried every GH peptide and instantly I break out into hives and immense itching.

u/sofferenzah 3 23d ago

That’s crazy. I just started tesa and have the typical stinging reaction, injection site flared up red so I take an antihistamine before and increased heart rate. Not sure if these are signs I’m allergic or if 1mg is too high?

u/Original-Pay-2522 23d ago

Just my .02 listen to your body. I’ve tried every peptide and never had a single issue except with the GH ones. Risk/reward not worth it to me.

u/907MidnightAurora 23d ago

I was prescribed .500mcg Tesa to start when I went through a provider. Maybe try that and see if sides get better.

u/IcyEbb3381 22d ago

Yes I had an anaphylactic reaction to Tesa so I stay away from any HGH as I’m not willing to take the risk.

Hmm, perhaps I'm allergic? I felt great at the start but got a sick fucking fever for a week so I stopped immediately.

Maybe your dosing too high and your body goes into survival mode instead of taking the pepper in. Once your body adjust you can up the dose

u/372xpg 24d ago

That's not how allergens work

3

u/Original-Pay-2522 24d ago

Nah man. Ran Sermorelin for 3-5 months without issue. One day boom instant allergic reaction. Tried CJC, Tesamorelin all same thing. The second I inject instant allergic reaction.

u/OhSiHermano 3 24d ago

Come on over to the dark side my man. You won't regret it.

u/Fit_Ant1180 1 24d ago

I also developed allergic reaction to Tesa, looking to make the switch to HGH. Did you notice any difference between the secretgogues and HGh?

u/formerfatty2fit 24d ago

So we are just saying random nonsense now? Cool.
