[QUOTE="JimGainz, post: 195633, member: 19127"] Glad I saw this because I intermittently experience some sleep problems and I’ve just been going through a period recently. One thing that has helped me diagnose the cause was that when I experience insomnia and anxiety I start writing down what I was taking or changes to my protocol as a reference. years ago I went through a bad spell and it took a couple of months for me to realize it was the thyroid medication (t-3). After I increased my dose there was about a 2 to 3 months lag before I started getting anxiety / insomnia. Going through the same thing now, I increased my T3 dose from 15 mcg to 20 mcg about two months ago, but also I am coming off a low-dose nandrolone cycle, and have also added in a few things to the protocol: COQ10/ Fishoil / Chromium / even Rogaine for hair growth. I also changed my testosterone dose to 50 mg E3D from 25 EOd. When I was up last night at 2:30 AM, wide awake, and had to get out of bed I started googling all of these compounds and of course all of them have been reported to cause some insomnia and/or anxiety so the only thing to do is to stop everything and cut back on T and thyroid to get things under control. I am convinced it’s likely the cortisol spike from the MK677 as well as work stress and perhaps too much thyroid. Again from reading my log from 2018 seems to be a pattern here and when I cut back, and started taking DHEA at night as opposed to the daytime things helped. Will try that, But my recommendation is to keep a log [/QUOTE]
