Merriam et al., Clinical Endocrinology Common Side Effects Injection site irritation (redness, swelling, or discomfort) Headaches and dizziness Temporary water retention or puffiness Nausea or lightheadedness shortly after dosing Flu-like symptoms (rare, typically early in treatment) Less Common But Notable Risks Carpal tunnel symptoms (numbness/tingling in hands) Mood changes or mild anxiety due to elevated cortisol Gynecomastia (in rare cases with high GH/IGF-1 over time) Insulin sensitivity changes with prolonged or stacked use Mitigation Tips Start with lower doses and titrate slowly Rotate injection sites to prevent irritation Avoid late-night meals high in carbs or fat , which can blunt GH spikes Consider cycling off after 812 weeks to restore baseline sensitivity If youre stacking Sermorelin with other peptides like Ipamorelin or MK-677 , be mindful of synergistic effects on appetite, cortisol, or water retention
