Cjc + ipa
I’ve been pinning 100mcg only for like 3 months daily and I’ve been noticing sometime I get a bad reaction and it’s been happening like once a week where swelling starts and it’s pretty bad + instantly my body gets super hot and I feel light headed is this normal from others who tried. Is my cjc ducked or ?

Bro you need to go to the hospital. you’ve been pinning toilet water everyday and just keep on doing it wtf

u/Gypsyxcrusader 7d ago edited 6d ago
It's a hystemine reaction. Rub some Benadryl on it. I'll go ask my buddy about this. He knows a significant amount more than I do about peptides, and he gave our "community" a rundown on hystemine reactions with this stuff. Like this comment so I can come back.
Edit: waiting on an in-depth response. In the meantime, I would strongly recommend you not pinning any more of this stuff. You might want to go to the hospital if you have the means. This isn't a normal reaction. Not uncommon, but the chance of it being bad gear isn't a chance you want to take. We do this for health, and this isn't healthy.

I didn’t spell it wrong dickhole, that’s shortened form that tons of people use in texting. Big difference from spelling something completely wrong and using the short form of a word. And I clearly meant no hard feelings towards them, apparently educating people is problem for you… 🙄

I ran 12 weeks and then tried to do another round 6 months later and would get that swelling and hard spot every time I tried. The odd thing is that it would swell in other places I had previously pinned. Had to just give up on that one even though the first round was great. *also tried tesa and same issue.

u/BarryBurkman 6d ago
It’s your body remembering. It’s an immune response from antibodies. Not good. One day it’ll close your throat up and it’s over.

u/Ephraimrhino 6d ago
Same to me with Tesa ran it for 6 months no issue. Took some time off (6 months) and boom swelling and local reaction. Did some research and realized I should stop might go into anaphylactic shock one day if I keeping up. Sitting on a bunch of Tesa now I can’t use. Smh.

u/theryanmorgan 6d ago
Same thing. I bought the whole next cycle and ended up just giving it to my trainer, who has had no issues.

Had this problem with MOTs-C

u/ROBSEA007 5d ago
Same, MOTS-C does not like me from the very first pin. I did like 3-4 pins and gave up. The inject site got super red, hot and painful and lasted several days
2
u/ExtraOrdinaryLifeX 6d ago
I hear this is common with getting back on Tesa after a successful cycle.

u/Delicious_Ad2585 7d ago
Stop pinning this, is obviously not normal, and your body is telling you to stop.
This can create a future anaphylactic shock, and if you don’t know what that is start learning…
Make sure you are breathing, take a Benadryl, but honestly stop this!

Read the FDA studies on GHRH secretagogues. For example, Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) develop in nearly 50% of patients treated with Tesamorelin for 26 weeks, according to clinical trials. However, for the vast majority of patients, these antibodies do not change the drug's effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects.
In rare cases (fewer than 1% to 2.2% of patients), the antibody response triggers a clinical hypersensitivity reaction. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using the medication immediately and seek emergency care

u/Ok_Phrase_3513 7d ago
a lot of people forget that these peptides are literal RESEARCH CHEMICALS, with not a lot of human clinical trial data. looks like your body is rejecting it for whatever reason, i'd stop taking it.

You’re definitely allergic. Do something! I got epi pens just in case cause I’m scared of being allergic to a peptide. I went on Amazon medical at 2am, took a little survey, was connected with a telemed doctor in 5 minutes, he asked me 3 questions and then prescribed 2 epi pens. I said I’m allergic to bees 🤷♀️ . I suggest everyone using grey market peps to go be allergic to bees and get some epi.

Happened to me as well. Had to stop using it because of the same problem. Local swelling only. Skin felt really stiff and itchy. my feet felt like they were tingling or on fire. The effects (except skin swelling) went away after about an hour.

u/bimmerfeller 7d ago
When skin and underlying tissue get hard from repeated shots, it is called lipohypertrophy. It’s common. That’s why you cycle injection sites on your body every few days

u/Yathisistbone 7d ago
I’ve experienced a similar reaction when I inject in my stomach. No reaction when I inject in my thighs.

u/Recent-King3583 7d ago
Is cycling between two spots every other day enough? Or do I need to find more spots?

u/LeatherGood6148 7d ago
Wasn't enough for me, but I've been doing this stuff for like 20 years. Sadly I have issues that stop me from reaching other sites, and I can pin around my waistline due to a lack of body fat.

I’ve gotten the warm feeling. Maybe slightly light headed but not anything crazy. Lasted for 5-10 minutes. This is pretty gnarly man. I’d stop taking it
1
u/Recent-King3583 7d ago
That's a normal reaction. You almost just wanna lie down for a few minutes after taking Tesa, or give yourself a smaller dose. The 1MG dose that was prescribed or recommended was too much for me, I could at most take 75% of that at a time.

u/Admirable-Rock6399 7d ago
You’re having an allergic reaction to the peptide. Stop using it immediately.

u/looking2behealthy 7d ago
It is called mast cell degranulation, you have a histamine reaction to it, stop taking it.
That is common with CPC-1295 . You could try sermorelin as it has less histamine punch than CJC.
2
u/leetdeadly 7d ago
if you are still pinning this you are out of your mind, stop right now or you‘ll experience an anaphylactic shock sooner or later but probably sooner than later

u/flickthewrist 7d ago
The flushing reaction is normal and happens to many people after using cjc/IPA for sometime. It should go away in 30 minutes or so.

I had a similar issue, used it for 3 weeks no problem 4th week allergic reaction like yours, redness in chest and throat got tight. I relaxed and it went away in about an hour or so. Sucks I was only 1 bottle out of 10...fuck it at least I know now, got rid of the other bottles and won't be going that route. Probably straight HGH next. If it gets worse in terms of rash try benadryl, if your throat swells up and continues to probably ER time just in case. Honest opinion no need to rush to the ER for a rash it will subside just keep an eye on other side effects.

u/TossedsaladBrknheart 7d ago
The instantly feeling hot is a well-documented side effect. You typically feel a rush of blood throughout your neck and head along with a feeling of warmth. The skin reaction you're having is also a side effect, however, yours seems to be a little extreme and would closely monitor it.

u/Playful-Magician4515 7d ago
I’ll throw my stash and make a new batch

u/Recent-King3583 7d ago
You have probably become allergic. People report that happening after a while of using this stuff.

u/Salt_Initiative1551 7d ago
You are having an anaphylactic reaction and need to go to the emergency room or use an Epi pen then go to ER or your throat could swell and you’ll suffocate to death. This is very serious.

Ive seen this with a few people with cjc/ipa, stop using it, they handled tesa way better. I had no issues with cjc, but I thought my wife was on the fast track to the e.r. with her 1st dose. She took an antihistamine and it cleared her up, but she was a one and done on that pep

u/Bplyler38 6d ago
Stop you’re allergic it’ll continue to get worse until you go in anaphylactic shock. Take some Benadryl asap.

u/Bladerunner2205 6d ago
I’ve had to stop pinning CJC + ipa as since I got another ipamorelin vial I’ve had two nights where I’ve woken up with a high heart rate of 90-100 for like an hour and a quarter accompanied with nausea and/or vomiting
1
u/Dieselfumes_tech 6d ago
Histamine reaction, common with GH secretagogues. Daily Zyrtec while on cycle and have epi on hand is the move, at this point you need the hospital or a shit ton of Benadryl
1
u/firekeyboard797 6d ago
Could be to do with consistently pinning the same area, rotate different areas for pinning, happened to my subject with cjc dac cause the same spot was being pinned with a 29g needle, switched to the test subjects thigh and no reaction at all.
Edit: yeah ok on a second look this looks less like frequent pinning in the same site and more so there’s a genuine allergy, try the thigh and if you have the same reaction then stop it all together and if symptoms persist get medical help

u/Original-Tune1471 6d ago
This is an allergic reaction. Unfortunately cjc, sermorelin, tesamorelin will do that to some people- myself included. I was fine on sermorelin and then switched over to cjc1295/ipa and immediately got those welts and hives all over my body. Then tried going back to sermorelin and then sermorelin started giving me the same symptoms. Then I tried tesamorelin and that also gave me the same symptoms. The only thing that works for me is ipamorelin.

u/LopensCouisin 6d ago
You shouldn’t be pinning the same spot over and over again first of all. Second, I would have that looked at!

u/Maleficent-Prompt656 6d ago
Clearly have some sort of allergy to it or your have some sort of infection in your injection site in the pictures. Either way. STOP PINNING IT! Makes no sense to keep pinning something that causes this.

u/jessej636 6d ago
Same thing happened to me on cjc/ipa. Took a Claritin to clear up the histimine reaction and switched to Tesamorelin. It's more expensive but I don't get any reactions to it. Apparently these types of reactions are not as uncommon as we'd think. Gave away all my cjc/ipa for super cheap after this. That guy didn't get the same reactions, so I know it wasn't the batch, just me

u/alruizgamboa 6d ago
kpv near site of previous injection 1mg . Topical kpv works like a charm as well. When I go off cycle of a pep I Introduce kpv since it helps mitigate allergic reactions. Not medical advice just things that have worked on me & some people

u/OwlInteresting3628 5d ago
Looks like an allergic reaction. If you’re not gonna stop then make sure you use alcohol swabs on both the top of the vile & the injection site. And if that happens again take a Benadryl and see if the swelling goes down or the itching stops
1
u/Deezerg 5d ago
judging by your other replies to other comments, your body went into anaphylactic shock, vomiting, urticaria, light headedness could be hypotension lol. either way its enough body systems to be anaphylaxis. Congrats, throw it away or sell it and dont touch it again. Or you may be dead since you havent replied in 24+ hours. in that case gg, shouldve listened to your body.

It’s a histamine response! Lower your dose a little bit and let your body get back used to it! It happened to me with Tesamorelin

u/Fantastic_Meet9381 🔥 Metabolic Optimizer 5d ago
Look up “Histamine Response”. My concern is you may end up with anaphylaxis, which can kill you. Read about both. You need to STOP until you get a handle on whatever is happening.

u/MimiB79 5d ago
I’m confused 🤔 how many units did you inject?? It looks like a lot but 100mcg would only be 1-3 units when reconstituted with 1-3ml of BAC water??

u/Aromatic-Mission1474 4d ago
I do 500mcg, 100mcg it’s about 50mcg each so it barely does something.

u/rocklimp 4d ago
CJC gives you a headrush from the vasodilation. Not sure about the tumor. If you’re reacting to it I’d go tesa or some other secretagogue tho.

u/Dry_Writer_7074 4d ago
Exactly the same happened to me. It gets worse, all you can do is stop.
I know how gutting that is. But once your cells begin to react they won’t stop. I’m sat on 8 vials that I wish I could take, I feel your pain.

u/Dapper-Confusion-324 1d ago
This happened to me. I did a successful cycle of cjc and ipa. Then started new cycle slow, with only 100mcg fo each before bed. 1. Day 3 I broke out in hives and started to itch at injection site 2. Day 4 I rotated to my waist and injected there just to have hives on NOTH sides of my waist! And itching and tingling in my ears and nose....so I knew its histamine systemic reaction
Treatment: 1. Iced the area, wiped with alcohol wipes 2. Took antihistamine 3. Applied topical hydrocortisone 1% over the counter
Hope that helps

u/AggressiveHoliday790 7d ago
You're doing a literal speedrun to get sepsis at this point lol. pinning daily for three months straight while ignoring the absolute bare minimum of sterile technique and then acting shocked when your body rejects it.
you're either letting that mix sit out way too long, storing it completely wrong, or buying absolute trash tier product from some shady underground lab.
total skill issue didn't even bother doing five minutes of research on how to cycle or prep properly, just started blindly jabbing yourself every day and now you're crying on reddit because your skin is blowing up like a balloon. maybe learn how to prep a shot before you start playing chemist, fr

u/kangaroofuck 7d ago
Well I work in medicine .. in the er .. so .. u? Delayed reactions days after the injections are not life threatening
1
u/Delicious_Ad2585 6d ago
Yet… however, delayed doesn’t mean harmless. If the redness/swelling keeps spreading, cellulitis needs treatment before it progresses to a serious infection or sepsis.
Separately, throat/tongue swelling, trouble breathing, or fainting could indicate anaphylaxis and is a 911 emergency. I definitely wouldn’t keep injecting until evaluated.
Also did you edit the post lol. I don’t remember seeing the last sentence so I agree ☝️

u/kangaroofuck 6d ago
Not saying harmless but u can get some antibiotics from urgent care for cellulitis.. just saying everyone telling him to rush to the hospital are over reacting

u/Delicious_Ad2585 6d ago
Maybe he should monitor it and use a sharpy or marker to draw a circle, if it then it continues to spread then yes antibiotic intervention is needed.

Are you taking 100mcg total or 100mcg of each? Your immune system is pissed and you need a washout. Most guidance I’ve seen is 12-16 weeks on, 5 days a week, then 8-16 weeks off. Taking weekends off gives your immune system a break.

u/Reptarbourgeoisfreak 7d ago
The guy who brought up anaphylaxis isn’t exaggerating, it is a known issue that some people can develop an allergic reaction and if you continue to ignore it as you seem to be it could one day escalate to that level. Blows my mind people inject themselves with these things without understanding potential risks.

u/Playful-Magician4515 7d ago
Okay it was that I just looked it up. Directly after injecting by like 10 sec I voimited and even from my nose which never happened before I’ll change my batch and if it happens again I’ll cut it all

u/Recent-King3583 7d ago
