As you can see, I have not switched routine yet. Last night I took 1 scoop Hypnos an hour pre-bed to try and knock me out so I sleep through the night. Taste was great! Lemonberry nectar is light and refreshing and sweet. Still woke up twice (fairly common), but sleep quality just [/]felt[/i] good compared to just melatonin. Face felt a bit flushed following drinking it. Will try to check on Fitbit numbers shortly.
Hadn't planned on logging it, but felt it would be good to get input from some seasoned members here @Jebrook @chem.jr. @Matthersby @Hyde @Smont @Mathb33. Finally jumped on the gain train after years of lurking. I'm 10 days into an m-sten cycle and wanted to share my experience so far. Layout looks like this:
Medfit RX Winswole 20/20/20/20 dosed in AM
CEL cycle assist x 8 caps per day
TUDCA x 1 g per day, split into 2 doses
Eradicate-E x 75 mg per day split into 3 doses
Taurine 5 g per day (2 g AM, 3 g PM)
Additional Hawthorne Berry x 565 mg (CEL cycle assist already has ~1400 mg) to deal with BP / headaches
Solaray red yeast rice 1200 mg daily split in 2 doses
Coq10 60 mg split into 2 doses
PCT layout will be the usual suspects / traditional board sponsors, plus support supps. ReduceXT, Inhibit-P, Rebirth, Letrone. Familiar with the above from previous andro runs. Only new addition will be CEL M-Test in place of what I'd usually pair as natty booster.
Recap so far:
Days 1-6: no sides, some muscle hardening around day 3
Days 7-8: back pumps hit, added in taurine ramping up to current 5 g/day. Will monitor and add up to 10 g as needed. Slight loss of appetite. Headaches intermittently in the evening around dinner, so added in 1 cap of Hawthorne to address. A little lethargy, but nothing I can't handle, took a nap both days.
Night 8: anxiety hit me around 2 AM and kept me up for a good 45 mins. It was very strong, closest thing I've had to a real panic attack. Bpm was actually low, but I felt physically ill until I could calm myself down. Felt a little out of breath, a bit dizzy, and was clearly dehydrated as I downed water. Because of this, I dropped my Winswole all together on Day 9 to ensure that was what we were dealing with. I've noticed that I had similar, but much less intense issues with epiandro - both are DHT based. Wonder if others experience this?
Day 9: kept all support supps in place, slight stomach flutters, but generally OK. Back pumps were minimal.
Day 10: added back in Winswole in AM pre-WO, felt great. Interestingly, Hypnos is supposedly also anti-anxiolytic according to C&P as well, so will continue this at night.
Will continue to monitor progress and sides and report back.
TL,DR cliffs
I'm weak AF
Running Winswole
Days 1-7 no major sides
Night 8 major anxiety
Day 9 took off
Day 10 back to business
