[QUOTE="Stoak, post: 178424, member: 40735"] I've only had 4 shots so far. .4ml 80mg per shot = 170mg per week IM (my test cyp is from absolute and it is 210mg for some odd reason instead of 200) with 1 shot of HCG 250iu per week = the protocol. Tues am, Friday afternoon so every 3.5 days. I haven't noticed anything different on inject days/time etc it has been consistent insomnia. I've done one shot of HCG 250iu starting day 14. That's when my doctor told me that my HPTA would be mostly shut. No AI. Not planning on it. I took very low doses of pharmacy arimidex 10 years ago when I was on 825mg of sustanon per week and my e2 was 17 and my TT was 6000 and I could barely get an erection. Never touching it again. I'd rather lower my testosterone dose. I'm going to call my doctor tmrw and if he thinks that this is just an adjustment period, I will stick it out. I think what a man can handle at 28 vs 40 in regards to sleep/drinking/body punishment etc is different. I do recall when I was younger having some bouts of insomnia on injection days but this is worse. Granted, I am 10-12 years older now and have been natural for a decade. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I think I read that you stopped TRT? Did your sleep return to normal? It's interesting bc I could almost feel this insomnia creeping up on me naturally over the years (the consistent 2am wake cycle) and it appears that beginning TRT put it into overdrive... and now I can't fall back to sleep, or if I do it is extremely broken. I'd rather live naturally with 300mg TT and single digit free test than resort to treating problems created by TRT with new drugs. My life wasn't terrible beforehand. I could have normal sex and slept great. My problem was energy. I could sleep 9 hours and still be tired and I felt like I was spinning my wheels in the gym. Yesterday I think I was so shot that I was able to sleep a little better. I had a huge sub with chips and I nodded off for 10 minutes in the mid afternoon, then took 3mg of Melatonin at 830. Went to bed at 930, slept straight thru until 2am and then had a broken sleep until 730am. I don't want every night to be like this, but this was definitely better than it has been. Every time I wake up between 2am and 7am I have a raging hard on. I don't know if this is the issue or what, but I will wake up every 30 minutes-1 hour and without fail, a raging hard on.
