Growth hormone dosages

Long story short, had to back off from 5IU. BP was up mildly which I can tolerate, however pulse rate went much higher than usual, the heartbeats were feeling more firm, and the anrrhy indicator would show every time on my BP monitor. This subsided after only a couple days. Is the higher dosage simply not for me or would my body adjust in time. The bump was from 3IU to 5IU. Thanks @press1 for the heads up about the fluid retention. I knew something was off as I’m in a caloric deficit and put on just under 10lbs in two weeks lol

3iu’s split am and pm for me (1iu in the am and 2iu before bed) is doing well for me. When I did 4 split evenly in the am and pm…. Shit had me swerving while on the road at fuckin noon. Shit was nuts lol. While working I felt normal, KINDA. When I would drive tho, that’s when shit hits hardest. My hands are fuckin bigger, must be the water. This is the leanest I got to and it’s reminiscent of my prime boxing days with a strict diet and natural workout regiment lmao. Hope you find your sweet spot brother!
It wasn’t until I got to 3.5 that I started to see the benefits of it. More fuller muscle, quicker recovery from training and fat loss. I get no other systems cts or better sleep. So for me 3.5 is were I will stay for now.
Were you doing the 5IU all in one shot?
2.5 mornings and 2.5 before bed…
For me the water retention is about 10,000 times worse with a before bed injection. I do all mine during the day. Occasionally I’ll do it at night but rarely
Well there goes my theory lol.
Also just fyi HGH can shoot up prolactin in some. Could have been the culprit for palpitations or weird issues. Maybe a big jump in dose caused a spike in prolactin that your body didn’t appreciate?
Throwing darts at the board here
Nah man, all input and advice is greatly appreciated. Could definitely be prolactin, had no problem performing but definitely had issues finishing. I need to dial things in. Thank you for taking the time bro
SeeOhShow told me about gh raising prolactin. My resting heart rate was around 90-98 bpm. My lump under my right nipple also came back. I had been using aromasin to get rid of the lump and it didn't touch it. After SOS stated gh raises prolactin, I started taking caber and that has helped my heart rate and the lump. This has been the first time I've gotten a lump from prolactin.
Man that’s right where my pulse was, 90 on the low end 98/99 on the high.
Dude, mine hit 126 just sitting on the couch. Lol
Was the muscles looking fuller or looking just bloated at the higher dose
Definitely fuller muscles, but definitely a feeling of bloat all over. You know, where you just feel swelled like your skin is tight everywhere? Best way I can describe it
Im trying to feel ya buddy. I went from 2iu for amonth to 3 iu for almost 3 weeks not much difference in looks on me. Thinking of saying F -it lets go to 4
Don’t go right to 5 lol.
No no. We gona see how yours pans out. We gona learn together from each other
So…. I bumped my dose to about 6iu from closer to 5iu daily. I had a little instance similar to yours where the heart felt like the pumps were firmer… I think mine is just coincidence and yours can be to.
I will add this… I think I found my sweet spot as things changed drastically after a week with sleep. I wake up with hands numb, etc… but it doesn’t bother me as I’m used to it from a neurological issue I have already (bulging disk).
Yeah, there’s other side effects I’m experiencing, but I’m ok with. Could’ve even put up with elevated pulse, but arrhythmia isn’t cool. I’m guessing I would’ve adjusted to it, but I’m learning 2IU is a significant bump to do all at once.
AK80If you are in a calorie deficit, that's for a reason = cut/lose weight/etc. With that said, you should stick with the 3iu to help achieve THOSE similar results. Inject it before bed in your stomach close to the navel and sleep like a baby.
Solid advice, thank you.
If you're set on running the higher dose i would try to slowly titrate up. Going from 3 to 5 is a pretty substantial jump. If things are all cool on 3 iu maybe try to do 3.5 for a week. Then go up another .5 the following week if there are no new issues. An so on until you reach your goal dose.
Yeah man, I didn’t think it would affect me as drastically as it did so quickly, but here I am lol. Thanks for taking the time!
You almost doubled your dose here. You'd have the same issue going from 6 iu to 10 iu overnight too i'd think. Mawka was pretty adamant about bumping things up slowly. Anywhere from .5-1 iu/week. I followed his advice and never had any issue getting all the way up to 6 iu/week.
