Steroid Forum: This is a discussion on HGH and Vertigo?? within the Anabolic Steroids forums, part of the extensive steroid information at MESO-Rx; I will be finishing my 6th week of GH tomorrow at 4IU's per day (2 IU's, twice daily) and currently ...
I will be finishing my 6th week of GH tomorrow at 4IU's per day (2 IU's, twice daily) and currently have an extensive case of Vertigo. Initially, I didn't even think there could be a correlation, however, the last couple of days I notice it's somewhat exacerbated shortly after administration.
theoretically, does this make any sense, or preferably, could anyone speak empirically??
I've been using 2IU at night for a few months now and had never experienced any odd effects.
However the other day i used 3IU in the morning about 9am - i forgot to hit it the night before, which is very odd in itself. But after injecting 3IU in the morning i almost immediately felt very dizzy for a few minutes and had to lay down. Not sure what happened.
Its probably not vertigo, but more likely fluctuations in blood sugar levels. When taking GH, its causes the body to be more insulin resistant and at the same time raises blood glucose levels. If you take in carbs during this time the the liver will dump glucose again into the bloodstream raising levels even higher. Then, on the other end, gh acts on the liver producing IGF which actually lowers blood sugar levels which could cause hypo effects. So, it really depends on when and what your eating during the time of your gh shots. Usually, wait an hour after eating a meal to take a shot (or in the am since your fasted) and wait 30minutes post shot before consuming more carbs to prevent large BG spikes

I often get feeling drowsy about an hour after injection. Could be a related side. Don't know what causes it, "empirically" speaking. Might be blood sugar fluctuations, might be temporary slow down of thyroid functions, or it might either because you have too much food in your stomach or none at all. Taking small doses of T4 or T3 may help. If the vertigo is unbearable, try an empirical experiment: Stop all injects for, say, 5 days. Any sign of vertigo after day 2? If so, it's not the GH. If not, it probably is. Then you need to cut your daily dose in half for a while and move back up later.

That explains it for me. I think i would have knocked back a protein shake(with carbs) a few mins before..
Won't do that again.
Been there bro, definatly blood sugar. I have a blood sugar tester that is state of the art, I was 98 pre shot, and 67 20 mins post shot. I always wondered why my body felt like I was hitting "the wall" like marathon runners do. Unfortunatly for us, no endorphine rush after wards.
