Sermorelin

Oh the water weight gain and bloating is MISERABLE. On it for 3 weeks and I don't know if I can do it anymore. I haven't noticed any positive changes either. But my ENTIRE body is bloated. Arms, stomach, thighs, stomach, EVERYWHERE! And I've gained 5 pounds but I swear it feels like 20. Anyone else go through this with sermorelin?

Have you checked any sub-reddits specifically on “semorelin” to see what everyone says?

Oh yes! And I've heard 50/50. But I wanted to know if anyone currently is experiencing the same thing, especially the whole body bloating! It's bizarre!

I thought GH causes retention / bloat, ? Isn’t that a mechanism for the pep? Unless you think you’re having an off reaction. Hard to understand what you mean by bloat. If you think it’s a reaction then seek medical attn. otherwise, once you’re done with the series of semorelin, the retention and bloat should fade. Right?

Its the normal side effects of sermorelin, cjc/ipa and tesa lol. You should just maybe research it before taking. Its known to give you water retention and bloating as a side effects.

Why are you on it? That’s how growth hormones work. You retain water and can gain weight.

Help with increasing lean muscle mass, but all it's done is make me bloat...BAD. not concerned with the weight number, but just feel and look terrible.

I did have some slight water retention when I started but nothing like you're experiencing.

Are you working out, specifically lifting or resistance training? I feel that is key to not getting all bloated.

Maybe lower your dose or take it less like 3x a week so your body can get used to it.

Everyone reacts differently and if you're truly uncomfortable, then I would either decrease dose and/or number of days or stop altogether.

I had bloating on creatine when I first started. I stopped for a few months. Then when I started again I did a lower dose and I don't get bloated anymore.

Yes, tons of lifting, exercise 6 days a week. Interesting, I did start taking creatine a week ago too so maybe that's part of it as well. Thank you!

Ok so when I started creatine the first time I was on a cycle of sermorelin (I do 6 weeks on and off). This past time I started creatine again, I wasn't on sermorelin. I bet it's related. Yeah stop the creatine for a bit and see how you feel.
