can't sleep!
I'm having a lot of trouble with insomnia. I'm doing Test-Cyp 2x week (Sun and Thr) at 500 mg/wk. I'm also doing HCG 2x week (Sat and Wed) at 500 IU/wk. I'm also taking Arimidex .25mg every other day. I just started my first cycle last week Sunday. I didn't have any sleeping problems last week, after taking two shots of Test-Cyp and two shots of HCG, but I only started taking Arimidex last week Thursday. The insomnia started this Sunday, and I have not been able to fall asleep for the last 4 days (from Sunday to today - Wednesday). I did a search and saw that insomnia is a possible side-effect of Arimidex. I had not heard about that on this forum before. Has anyone experienced this before? I'm going to try going off of Arimidex and see if I can sleep as I cannot function at work if I can't get to sleep. Could Test-Cyp or HCG be causing insomnia? Any help would be appreciated as if this insomnia continues I will have to stop the entire cycle.
Thanks in advance.

People generally only list the side effects THEY experience, not the entire side effect profile which is fairly extensive for arimidex. Regarding A-dex, insomnia is a side effect for roughly 6-8% of people. Aromasin can have the same effect too.
Hormones regulate many functions including sleep, so disrupting your natural hormone levels may affect your sleep-wakefulness. Moreover, anything that stimulates your CNS has the potential to mitigate circadian rhythm. You may want to try a low dose of melatonin or Benadryl (diphenhydramine). For many, these are effective sleep aids. I find 5 -10mg of melatonin often takes the edge off enough to fall asleep without feeling hung over the next morning.
You may also want to try dosing your A-dex first thing in the morning. Don't drop the arimidex....you need to use an AI.

valerian root and meltonion or diphenhydramine. Thats what I take. I have severe sleeping problems, I go through times when i only sleep every 2 or 3 days. I was prescribed amibein ***** all that bull shit. It didnt really even help much the otc stuff helps me more. The prescriptions will just make you hungover and feel like shit anyway.

Switch to Aromasin and see how you feel on that. It's a better AI, better for you and also frees up your bound test so you're able to use it. EGH sells it and it's legit.
