I had been on daily subq injections of T cyp for 7 years. During the entire time, my sleep quality was pretty poor. It would take 30-60 minutes for me to fall asleep. I would wake 1-3 times each night to go to the bathroom (1 was a good night, 3 a bad night). I would average a good 3-4 hour block of sleep plus 1-3 hours of fragmented sleep each night. On a bad night, I'd get 3+1 hours of sleep. On a great night, I'd get 4+3 hours of sleep. On average I would get 3+2.5 hours of sleep.
I tried melatonin, magnesium, glycinate and some other supplements that seemed to have no effect. I tried benadryl as well. The only thing that consistently worked was lorazepam, but that's a benzo so I only used it when I traveled. It gave me a solid 5 hour chunk of sleep every time I used it.
Overall, I still felt very functional. I was able to workout and I would say I felt great with plenty of energy. I thought the sleep quality was just a result of getting older.
Six weeks ago, I decided to try Kyzatrex in the hopes that it would resolve my elevated hematocrit/donating blood every 2 months/super low ferritin cycle. I won't know if Kyzatrex resolves that for many months, but one thing I've definitely noticed is the massive improvement in the quality of my sleep!
I now fall asleep in less than 15 minutes. I stay asleep all night almost every night. I average 7 hours of sleep each night. In the last 3 weeks, I've gotten up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night only 2 times and I was back asleep almost instantly.
The dramatic improvement in the quality of my sleep was completely unexpected so I thought I'd share my experience.
