Onset of side effects from HGH
How long did it take for you to first start experiencing sides?
I just started on some non-pharma HGH from a popular supplier on this site. Overall it's a well-reviewed supplier, but I'd like to see some sides that are consistent with a high quality product. Do the side effects from HGH phase in slowly? Do they wear off as the HGH leaves the body? What does one generally experience during the first week?
I would really appreciate any input or experiences. I'm having surprising difficulty finding an answer to this
Edit: In response to comment, I'm taking 2 iu a couple hours before bed
Follow-up:
Been dosing for three days now. I meant to take 2 IU, but I messed up the dosage, so I've actually been taking 3.5 IU. I'll probably bring it down to 3 IU (rather than 2) because I'm handling 3.5 IU pretty well.
I notice I have deeper sleep and more vivid dreams. I also notice a little tingling in my hands. The next day I'm also a bit tired, but nothing that gets in the way of my day. I'm hoping the drowsiness dissipates. I'm feeling maybe minor joint pains but it might just be random soreness.
One thing that I'm doing that I'd recommend for anybody else going the generic route is to order 30-40 IU of pharma grade stuff (e.g., Genotropin or Norditropin) and compare sides. This should give me a good sense of how potent my generic HGH really is. Once I compare sides, I'll write up a review for the source.

The way you ask is intresting. I think your point is: no effect without a side effect. It ist same me, i‘m a person who get in the first month numb fingers. If i wouldnt get this side i know something is not ok with GH because special sides come from the GH.
The right way to do this is for me to get lab tested before and after I start dosing. Unfortunately, I'm in a state that doesn't allow testing without a physician's orders, so I'm doing the ghetto version of testing: looking for common sides.
Everyone is different even placebo affects but for me I noticed the best sleep ever. my dreams were awesome I could control them. after 2 months i had good fat loss around the lower gut and nothing other than that
I have been noticing deeper sleep -- and some pretty interesting dreams. There's a little fatigue during the day though. Hopefully the fatigue will dissipate. Unless it's placebo, this is a good sign. What dose have you been taking?
First question to you would be How many iu's are you doing a day , then I would ask how are you spreading your iu's over the day e.g. all at once or twice a day and what time of the day are you injecting.
HGH sides start pretty quick almost immediately in some cases depending on how high your dosing , More and more intense sides the Higher you dose but as long as you stay below 4iu's you can expect minimal sides.
Increased sleep and increased quality of sleep
Increased hair and finger nail growth
Increased energy once you have completely woke up
Increased muscle and injury recovery speed
Not much increase in the area of strength
also you can expect some mild to serious carpel tunnel in random places through out your body depending on your reaction really where it occurs .
All of the above sides will increase or decrease depending on your dose.
LiquidzSo I've ordered some generics from here. Reputable.
I started out at 2ius. Tried it at first wake....
Next day hands were tight and sore
Day after that lethargy
After a week of this I decided to do 1iu in the am and 1,iu before bed.
Hands got better.
Noticed roller coaster appetite. Huge one day...absent the next day.
Took a week off because it felt stupid....so tired
...all the time even at split doses.
It's not placebo because these sides came on almost immediately and they were getting in the way of work. (Truck driver). Don't need crampy hands all day and don't need running anyone over from exhaustion.
Never saw the good sleep.
Not sure if I should drop the dose to split ,.5s
So ridiculous
I'm sitting on a few kits....I planned for 6 months and don't even want to use them now
Thanks. This is exactly what I'm looking for.
I've been taking 3.5 IU before bed. I meant to take 2 IU, but I messed up the dosage. I'll probably bring it down to 3 IU even because I'm handling it pretty well.
The only things I'm noticing is that it makes me drowsy and I have deeper sleep and more vivid dreams. I also notice a little tingling in my hands. The next day I'm also a bit tired, but nothing that gets in the way of my day. I'm hoping the drowsiness dissipates.
One thing that I'm doing that I'd recommend for you is ording 30-40 IU of pharma grade stuff (e.g., Genotropin or Norditropin) and comparing sides. This should give me a good sense of how potent my generic HGH really is.
Try just hitting your iu's before bed don't inject any during the day , I usually inject 1 to 1.5 hours before bed when i'm running HGH.
Sounds like you have got some pretty potent HGH so a dab will do you with this batch , if all else fails just pack it up and put it in the fridge and wait for a more advantageous time to use it . As long as it is in its powder form in the fridge it will stay for at least a year or much more really .
If I run anything over 4ius my shoulders and hands cramp up really bad , and injecting in the morning or during the day will make you very drowsy so yea I would avoid that especially considering your a truck driver, so again try injecting just before bed.
LiquidzI'd be more than happy to share the details about the brand I'm using. But I'm smarter than that to post in open forum.
I took 2ius before bed last night.
Vision is all wacky. I'm seriously not just complaining to complain. It's so weird. I've used aas for years and know what to expect with this and how to combat them and dose them in order for best gains and appearance and avoidance of sides .
I'm not a pro by any means but this is my first HGH run....and so far....not cool.
Just not loving it...want to so bad. Got all the pins and water and kits of powder in the fridge.
About to wrap up the first kit...last vial but it's been with breaks here and there cause I'm an HGH noob and not sure what to do......maybe I'll just try .5iu every night an hour before bed ....but everyone says 2ius for just "quality of life and maintenance"....so I wonder if I'm just wasting my time at that dose.
Thanks for replying .
I do....truly....appreciate your feedback thus far
HGH is just like any other PED some people do not react that well to it, and some people can handle much higher doses than others
Again just try injecting your whole dose before bed.
2iu's is a maintenance dose and 4iu's is a good sweet spot for performance with minimal sides.
The plan is to take 2 IU once per day near bedtime and eventually bump it up to 3 of 4. I'm doing it mostly for energy and anti-aging.
Yesterday I took 1 IU as a test run. I'll be taking my first 2 IU dose in a few minutes.
Better sleep right away would be great. I haven't been sleeping well at all during the pandemic.
JoebobWhy are you doing it before bed instead of first thing waking up?
You can split it if you want 2 iu morning 2 iu night to keep it level but there isn't enough research to tell what is better. Its still unknown and has big debate of when the best time is and I did it in both morning and night and I liked night for the sleep and dreams personally out of my judgement id pick night 30 before sleep and people might hate this but with or after food it didn't really matter. I still think about hgh to this day cause the sleep and what grows muscle protein and sleep good luck
JoebobThanks. I’m only doing 2-3iu so I don’t think I need to split. I haven’t noticed any lethargic sides in the am. I may try night time to see if I like it better.
I haven’t had the numbness in hands or anything. Maybe dose Isn’t high enough. But I have lost fat around abdomen. And joint stiffness
Your Body pulses a natural pulse of HGH when you sleep.
But ipso facto if you hit your iu's first thing in the morning I have found that it makes me somewhat drowsy, so I prefer to do my iu's right before bed . Now HGH has a relatively short half life and spreading your HGH through out the day is much more effective , but none the less I do my iu's at night and it still does the Job .
JoebobSo if your body naturally pulses hgh at night, you don’t want to interfere with that process right? Unless you have problem injecting in first thing in the am.
morning shots made me a zombie all day and I have to be at it hard at work
