Sub-q testosterone injections ever make you sleepy?

[zerodarkthirty]

I recently switched over from gels (fail) to cream (fail) to sub-q injections. I've done 2 sub-q injections this week (60 mg each), and after approx. 2 hours after each I've just wanted to go to bed. Seems weird, so I thought I'd ask around. It's definitely not psychosomatic. Nap time, anyone??

Perhaps this is just a newbie thing? Anyone recall feeling this initially when starting TRT? Thanks all.

Never heard of that happening but nothing surprises me anymore.

Probably has something to do with timing just bein right.... maybe you inject after a meal, etc?

Regardless, I've never heard of this before.

Go figure. Espresso time.

Possibly it could be an elevated stress response which taxes your system. Then once your parasympathetic system kicks in you feel the need to rest. I would EXPECT, if this were the case, that it would fade... coffee might be a bandaid but it would certainly tax your adrenals more

I am assuming you are just feeling the effects of being crashed as you were administering daily and now you have to wait 6+ weeks for the injections to build up in your system.

Hah...finally someone else!

I get the same deal when I take test or test and other compounds, I always assumed it was due to increased tissue repair/or a increase improvement in relaxation lack of stress, causing the body to seek rest. But I could be completely wrong..at least there are two of us now!

HGH also causes increased sleepiness at least in those BB types who work out/ eat a lot ( have no idea whether this is the case in usage by Joe Average).

Interesting. I knew I wasn't imagining things. I'm a ~10% body fat, long-distance runner type. I was thinking of moving my injections to the evening so as to avoid this crash (assuming this continues).

HCG seems to be less so, but still some crash, relatively quickly. I also feel very hungry after injecting even low dosages (100 IU) of HCG. Have you experienced this?
