5.7 iu a day for a while and now my hands falling asleep, arm hurts, mostly when in bed.
So uh... take a break for a bit? Half the dose for a while?

Cut the dose down.
I’m on 4 ius a day and it took a week or more to get these same sides to go away! But I still get the occasional hands falling asleep.
Its not very pleasant is it! Seems to be okay when im active but when im laying in bed or on the couch my hands go wonky
It is the worst when you’re sleeping good and you wake up and can’t feel your arm… I have to dangle it off the bed to get it to wake up. I’ll be laying in bed on my phone and my arms will go to sleep.
I'd just lower your dose, more isn't always better. I'd drop down to 3-3.5iu and see how you feel. Also I didn't run it on weekends just to give my body a little break. Totally up to you though, everything works differently for everyone.
You have good advice below man, Just lower the dose and see how it goes. 3iu a day is usually pretty good for the most part.
Fair fair, mind you its china gh so probably not comparable to pharma
I just kept pushing it up a little higher over time, not sure i feel that much from it spare for better sleep
I always onky took it 5 days a week. That way it kept the sides at bay and still worked great. The 5 days a week were all training days
I was actually going to ask you that 5 on 2 off thank you for the info buddy
No problem when I took it 7 days a week I couldn’t close my hands after 6 weekz. This way helped a lot
Well I haven't had any side effects but I did just jumped from 2iu to 4iu like you said been on 4iu for 2 days now should I slit am-pm doing it really for fat lose in my belly lol
How fast do you get side from pinning to much
Usually at week 6 I feel the sides. They go away after a week taking the weekend off. 4 iu is PLENTY to make gains on of you are running it with testosterone. If you have quality HGH 4 iu is a LOT!!! That’s what I use unless I got weak HGh
Drop it down a lot bro. Sides isn't the goal.
Amen, that goes for everything.
No need to fully stop IMO, brother. That’s pretty common once you start pushing the dose a bit. I’d just adjust the dosage depending on the phase … maintenance, cutting, or growth … rather than taking a full break.
Also, that’s actually a good thing… you basically found your tolerance ceiling / sweet spot.
Just keep in mind it can vary from lab to lab, since potency and purity aren’t always identical. One brand’s 5–6 IU can feel like another brand’s 7+.
Dial it back a bit and you should be good. Keep it up, brother man.
You can up your taurine to 3000-5000 mg a day and increase potassium and this will likely go away
Already taking 5g of taurine and 195mg potassium
May want to work your way back down to 4-5 IU again and sit there for a while if the sides are effecting sleep.
