Falling asleep almost immediately after injection

Sleepy to the point of falling asleep at my desk almost immediately after getting injection - 160 per week. Couple days later feel fine. Any ideas why so tired right after injection??

Im surprised no one has mentioned this already - you most likely have a severe allergic reaction to some component of the injection. Could be the oil, the preservative or the ester itself. This allergy may also manifest itself on certain delivery routes only. In my experience its much more likely on subq and not so likely for IM. I have also especially had this happen when injecting blends of multiple esters subq. I have found cypionate IM to be the safest bet when such allergies are present. Different brands of the same ester may also be a factor.

This allergic reaction, it's like a drugged doped up tiredness, accompanied with a compulsion to sleep.
 
I’ve tried enanthate, cypionate and propionate and all cause the same fatigue after injection. Honestly topicals cause this in me with higher doses. I’m sure some guys could have allergic reactions to certain components of the injectables. For me the fatigue goes away 1.5 days after shot.

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
