Staying safe
Things people sometimes notice
- A little redness where you inject
- Vivid dreams and a shifted sense of when you are tired, in the first week
- Mild drowsiness in the afternoon for some
Stop and get help if (trouble breathing or swelling: call 911)
- Hives, swelling or trouble breathing
- Sleep getting clearly worse rather than steadier after a week (try moving the dose earlier first)
- Any reaction that spreads or worsens
Talk to your doctor first, especially if
- You take melatonin or prescription sleep medicine; the effects stack and you may want to drop the sleep aid during a cycle
- You have a hormone-sensitive cancer; it acts on an endocrine gland and nobody has studied it alongside cancer treatment
- You are pregnant, nursing or trying to be; no data
Mixing it
Here is the math for a 10 mg vial mixed with 1 ml of bacteriostatic water, taking a 0.5 mg dose.
Bring the vial to room temperature and clean the top.
Add 1 ml of bacteriostatic water slowly.
Swirl gently until dissolved.
Inject subcutaneously (subQ) once a day through the cycle.
Store in the fridge. Use within the cycle, then take a long break.
