Do side effects mean u are taking too much?

**kaptainkeezy04** · 09-14-2009, 05:20 PM

I am getting a lot of water retention on HGH (Genotropin) at only 3 IU's a day, and I'm 23 years old. Does this mean I am taking too much, or would I be getting this side effect at any dosage?

How long is lasting your cycle? Since gh's effects are cumulative, though the dosage is right for you, you may have a break from the cycle.

lol I just started back on it 6 days ago. A lot of my veins which i worked so hard to bring out are disappearing and I miss my veiny look lol. I am doing 5 days on 2 days off, so maybe some of it will wear off during this 2 day break.

I was told that 3 IU's was the bare minimum, but I'm starting to disagree lol. When I was on 5 IU's, my muscles were seriously hard alllllll day long, but that dosage was too expensive, so i decided to cut back for my next cycle which i just started 6 days ago. I did notice that the longer I was off hgh, the more I could see the results. Even after a month off, and no change in diet, my veins were coming through more and more every day.

i believe if the sides are unbearable or interrupt your daily life then yes you are taking too much.

Did you change HGH brands between your 5iu/ed and 3iu/ed? I'm wondering if the concentration of HGH is higher in your 3iu/ed brand.

nope. same genotropin straight outta the pharmacy, and always taken care of properly.

If it's the same stuff and you can get sides with 3iu/ed, you're in business. Just lower your dosage to 2iu/ed and wait for the sides to go away. Then slowly build back up to 3iu/ed. Good luck
