    Can anyone tell me wether they feel really sleepy when they are on a cycle.

    If so what causes it?

    I learn something new every day on this site which is why I love it. I would have thougth that anemia, the decrease in red blood cells, would make you tired not polycythemia, the increase. If you're getting more oxygen from the lungs to your muscle tissue you'd think you would be more alert. The only time I would get tired on gear was when I was using suspension, I use to yawn like crazy. It was straight from the race track and I think there was probably some lidocaine in it.

    don't mean to piss on anyone but RBCs.......no that's not why he's tired. If it worked like that no athlete would do blood doping for an event.

    it's the shutting down of the pituitary/hypothalamus that's doing it. Thyroid slows as well and adrenals not putting out as much either.
