Can not sleep on sermorelin help!

Nikkibeamer · Mar 15, 2018

I’ve been on injections for 6 months as my IGF has raised by 50% and I think my dose may have been to high at 30 units every night. My “hormone doctor” seems clueless but I talked with the compounding pharmacy and they recommended to lower dose to 0.2ml but I’m still not sleeping! I weigh 108 lbs 5’2, 40 years old. I’m also on testosterone therapy can I still get benefits from daytime dosing?

Also my IGF is at 175 now.

Sermorelin should be injected before bed.
Sermorelin - after dinner or before bed?

Be more specific about "can not sleep"; sweating? Heart racing? Palpitations? is this new or ongoing since you started Sermorelin?

And the type of insomnia. More than 3 nights week? Can you get to sleep, but wake up a few hours later ?

These secretagogues(?) messed me up with carpal tunnel like symptoms from the elbow down, was downright painful such that it woke me up and disturbed my sleep to great extent. Had to get off that stuff.

Datbtrue showed us that we should not inject unless we hadn't eaten for 3 hrs and after injection not to eat for a min of 30 minutes... preferably 1 hr. Otherwise you waste the effect of the GHRH. Before bed is best if only doing one shot daily. There is lots of semorelin or other GHRH out there that doesn't work and when it does it doesn't help my sleep either.

I had the carpel tunnel pains too but only when I injected 3 times a day for over a month.. then I'd back off to twice a day and it would subside.

Since i started 10 units nightly it has robbed me of a good night sleep. Every 2 or 3 hours i wake up in the middle of the night and wonder around, watch tv., or snack. Its gotten worse to the point where im falling asleep (almost) driving to work or driving home from work. Its been about 5 months since i started and my Dr. doesn't seem to take it seriously. At $250 monthly i feel like a moron. Yes ive lost a little noticeable fat around my midsection but i need to sleep. I also take 375mg of test bi-weekly for 8 months now....which i truly love.

This would be a subject for another thread. Biweekly dosing is going to have a big roller coaster for both T and E. A smaller dose more often seems to be the current thinking...
