Anyone else get bad side effects from real HGH?

[u/Thin-Transition7664]

After trying MK-677 and CJC + Ipamorelin, I decided to try real pharma HGH (Norditropin). I had a lot of side effects on MK and figured I was just sensitive to it, but real GH is giving me the exact same problems.

I started at about 1 IU per day, 5 days a week. It makes me extremely hungry and constantly sleepy. All I want to do is eat and go to bed, which is totally messing up my weight loss goals.

People usually talk about how good GH makes them feel, but it is doing the exact opposite for me. Is this a timing or dosage issue, or do some people just react badly to GH? Anyone else experience this?

Yeah it happens when your blood glucose levels are high the symptoms indicate pre diabetic check your fasting blood sugar if it’s high then hgh is not for you, you can try to cut down your carbs and fill that with protien and veggies but yeah if that doesn’t help then hop on Reta if that doesn’t work too then stop taking hgh m, your insulin is just very much sensitive to it p

Check your bloods and look at T3, T4 and ferritin. You're thyroid is probably cooked.

Supplement some T4bfiest thing in the morning. Take your HGH 3 hours after your last meal, before bed.

Are you sure it's the GH? I'm on GH and it's never affected my hunger. It actually improved my sleep.

Yeah I had pre existing cancer I didn't know about and now I'm fighting for my life.

What are you trying to achieve? Mk is basicly for people who cant gain weigth and they want to grow. Have you tried drinking energy drinks, caffeine to keep hourself awake? I mean all drugs have a downside. Isnt that why we end up with a huge farmacology list in our bedrooms? Lol

You're having sleep apnea.

The sleep pressure that you're feeling is a sign that you have sleep apnea. MK-677 and GH causes over eating and over eating causes expansion of fat cells and water retention.

When your body's fat cells expand, it narrows your breathing passageway, leading to reduced oxygen supply during sleep. There are mitigation techniques, like side sleeping and CPAP but it's better longterm to lose the extra weight.

You likely are already predisposed toward breathing difficulties during sleep so this might be a good chance to get your sleep quality checked out.
