Hi!! My name is Krissy and I just started taking prescribed HGH (Zorbtive) 1mg injection in the AM is my dose instructions. Anyhow, I was prescribed the medicine due to short bowel syndrome, and I was wondering what I can expect as far as fat loss/muscle toning. Does this just 'happen' while taking the meds or is it something I have to work at as well?? I don't want to get huge or anything, but tone would be wonderful, especially after losing 100 pounds in the past 2 years!! I have some loose skin. (not very attractive!! Anyhow, I would like any advice that you think will benefit me at this point. I am sure I will be asking some dumb questions at first, but please, bear with me.
TIA,
Krissy!
I appreciate your reply!!!
My dr has me on 1ml injections daily. That seems like a lot to me. I've read on here about people taking their dose in IU?? Here is a breakdown of the mixing I am prescribed..
Zorbtive 8.8 mg (powder)
Bacteriostatic Water USP (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol)
Instructions are to mix 2ml of diluent into powder and inject 1mg (0.25ml) every morning. (Discard 14 days after reconstitution)
So for me I am getting just about 7 doses from each vial.
So far I haven't had any major side effects however I do get a pretty wicked headache about an hour after my injections. It lasts for awhile unless I take a Tylenol. I NEVER got headaches so I am thinking this is definitely from the HGH. Anyone have any advice on how to NOT get the headaches? Or do you think they will diminish after my body gets used to getting the HG?? So far.... no major changes (it's only been a week though) haha, but I do notice my skin on my hands and arms being softer... it's nice!
I've never gotten headaches from it, but I do get a rush and flushed feeling that lasts for about an hour or so.... maybe that's what's triggering the headaches.... I did find that the rush diminishes over time as I got used to the dose, so I would assume the headaches will decrease, but that's just a guesstimate
