A TERRIBLE side effect i forgot to add...
I had awful insomnia last night. The only other night I have ever experienced this in my life is when I was delayed in taking my injection by a week about 8 weeks ago mid- cycle.
I am officially attributing this to hormone imbalance aka, a testosterone drop and possibly even an increase in cortisol. I took 3, 5 mg tabs of melatonin, meditated (which I typically fall asleep to within minutes), listened to delta waves. Nothing worked. I was very relaxed but the moment I would fall into sleep, I'd knock myself out...so very frustrating. Got in bed at 9:00 pm, finally fell asleep around 2 am for a 5 am wake up call and today? I still feel wired. I feel tired, but almost as if I drank a gallon of caffeine, jittery...like I said, could be a spike in cortisol. Hoping tonight is not the same story as I know this transitionary period can cause insomnia.
