Insomnia on Test E?? WTF??

[AsEpSiS]

I'm 5'6", 180-190lbs, ~15%bf, 33yrs old, successfully completed 4 Test E cycles (3@300mg, 1 @500mg).

I'm currently on week 6 of running 300mg Test E split into 2shots/week. I use HCG @ 250ius shot 2/week the day before my test shot. I also use .25mg anastra*ole (arimidex) 2/week the day after my test shot.


***FYI, I normally go to bed around 11pm to 1200am and wake up around 8-9am. I had no prior stress before/anxiety, or on Thursday, and was sleeping GREAT all cycle! In all actuality, I was probably even sleeping better ON cycle then OFF.****


Here's the deal....Thursday night I suddenly woke up after sleeping for about 2hours (went to bed around 1200 am) and couldn't sleep for about 2-3hrs. I then fell back asleep, then woke up again after about an hour or so. I even went to bed alil later than normal (watching a tv show). I didn't worry about it, but it did seem alil odd, but no big deal.

Friday....I decided to take 1.5mg melatonin(11pm) about 1hr before bed (1200am)....however..same deal, but I woke up after about an hour of sleep then I was awake for about 4-5hours and then slept for about another hour. The whole time I was awake, I was tired as hell, but just couldn't sleep.

Saturday...I take 3mg melatonin before bed....Basically same shit again, just alil worse

Sunday....I got called to work around 10pm and had to work all night until about 7am Monday morning....all on NO sleep. I actually fell asleep after I got home around 8am, but was only able to sleep for an hour, and woke up nervous as hell. I think the nervousness was due to being stressed from this whole "no sleeping shit". After some positive self talk, I was able to get some sleep for a few hours.

It seems as the symptoms got a tad worse every day since Thursday. Probably in part because I was getting annoyed by the issue.

Tonight I'm going to pop a OTC sleeping pill....hopefully this will help.

________________Now for my question____________

I''ve NEVER had ANY sleeping issues taking Test before, including this cycle until last Thursday. In my first 2 cycles, I've used Q* brand Test 250. My last cycle, I used AX** brand Test E 250 with ZERO issues either.

Now, the funny thing is.....I started this cycle off with some left over AX** brand Test E 250, but ran out about 2 weeks ago and started using SCIR*** brand Test E 250...all at the same dose and injection frequency .

Do you think the switching of brands mid-cycle F'd me up? This is the ONLY variable in this whole equation. Does it make sense that the switching of gear would/could hit me about two weeks later??

C'mon guys....please give me a response on any experience. I see 20+ responses to threads about fools asking how much clomid they should inject into their nuts

If the gear is legit there should be no reason for anything to change. Any stress in your life? Try 1500mg of Magnesium 30 minutes before bed.

It might have been a dirty batch and had some tren in it, just to throw a possibility out there. Doubtful with such a big brand name, though.

Insomnia happens for a lot of different reasons. I wouldn't jump the gun and blame things on the steroids just yet, like everyone else in the world does

Test gives me great energy and makes me sleep like a baby so I doubt it's the test

[MickeyKnox]

No idea, other than what you suggested. The only variable is switching brands of test.

Personally I think ever cycle can have different sides even with the same gear but typically or at least with me the sides get less, not more. I had sleep issues/insomnia, sweats and more from just test at the beginning but as time goes on they have mostly diminished.
