Very Restless on Test E - First Cycle

[ScottJM114]

Hi guys,

I have been on Test E for 3 weeks. I am having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I've been taking melatonin but it's not keeping me down. I took 20mg of it last night and I went to bed at 2 am. I was up at 730 and can't go back to sleep. This has gone on for about a week now. I am averaging maybe 4-6 hrs of sleep and had a couple 3 hr nights. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

On 500mg per week (2 injections)
Took 20mg of melatonin last night (that is a big dose)
GD I need a good R.E.M. cycle!

Thanks for any input

That is too much melatonin. Take between 1-5mg. Two approaches:

1) Take 1-2mg about 2-3 hours before you want to fall asleep.
2) If you can't take it that far in advance, take 5mg right when you want to go to bed and you should be asleep in about 20 minutes.

Method 1 works the best though.

What else are you taking besides Test E? You could be experiencing high estradiol.

I am just taking arimadex at 1mg a day and I pinned a .75 shot of Eq 2 days ago. (1st Eq shot). I know 20 MG was too much but I just could not get to sleep. I wake up sweating and not even tired. It's mellow today but I am a little goofy and feel out of it. It's probably from being tired still. I fell back asleep today for 1 1/2 hr nap which helped.

Oh yea EQ is expired but still looked good. Maybe don't run the eQ? I just had to use it. I know they say just run test for 1st cycle.

I'll try your way and see if it helps

Any other advise is much appreciated

Thanks!

Holy fuck! 1mg a day of Arimidex on 500mg of test per week! Do you have 60% body fat? That is a cray high dose. Unless it is bunk or underdosed.

Get your estradiol checked with blood work, but I am pretty certain you have driven your estradiol into the ground. Getting some joint pain as well?

I just had a full blood work done last week and everything came back as normal. So how much should I take or just stop taking it?

 

[ScottJM114]

I also took a drug test and it was normal as well.

 

[ScottJM114]

I told my Dr. what I am doing and he said he doesnt have a problem with it. He has been my dr for 29 years. I have another appointment for a follow up on the 19th this month.

Post your labs results. Let's see them.

 

[ScottJM114]

I will have to get them from him
They just called and said everything is normal.

Bro I am really restless I can not stay asleep. I had another 4 hrs of sleep night. I might try some sleeping pills.

Why aren't you listening to sound advice here?

I am trying the melatonin advise and im getting mylab results Asap. I do feel tired so hopefully the melatonin puts me down. Ive stopped the arimidex for now.

Just to clarify, melatonin helps you fall asleep. It doesn't help you stay asleep. If you wake up, it can help you get back to sleep if you take another dose.

So I was reading a sign of low estrogen is night sweats. I have been having that for a week or so. How do I get back on track with this?

Have you posted your blood work yet? That would help.

You are taking 500mg of test a week. Your test shouldn't be low unless it is severely underdosed.
