Switching from GHRP-6 to GHRP-2, sleep and hunger differences so far

Posted by elle774 in GH & Growth Peptides - 1 points, 4 comments.

Ran GHRP-6 for about 3 weeks on its own, 100 mcg before bed and once in the morning on training days. The hunger was honestly ridiculous, I was snacking at 11pm like it was my job. Sleep felt deeper for sure but I gained a bit of water and looked puffy in the face, which I did not love.

Decided to swap to GHRP-2 this week to see if the GH pulse is comparable without the crazy appetite. Same 100 mcg timing, twice a day. First impression, hunger is still there but much more manageable, more like normal pre-meal hunger than the GHRP-6 food obsession.

Morning cortisol reading felt a touch higher today but could just be a rough night with the dog. Sleep on night 3 was really solid, woke up less, REM felt longer to me. Curious if anyone else compared the two head to head, especially on body comp over a longer stretch.

  • elle_z: Interesting comparison because I only tried GHRP-2 briefly and the hunger thing was actually the reason I stopped lol, like 30 mins after pinning I was planning lunch in my head. Yours sounds way more controlled than mine was though, maybe the dose or the fasting window made a difference. The puffiness with GHRP-6 is real, my rings got tight the whole time I was on it and went back to normal within a few days off. Did you notice any difference in how fast you fell asleep between the two? Curiou
  • elle774: Ha interesting, your hunger on 2 was way more aggressive than mine then, I wonder if empty stomach vs fed makes that much difference. I always pin at least 2 hrs after eating. Onset to sleep felt pretty similar honestly, maybe 15-20 min either way. GHRP-2 might edge it a touch but not enough for me to call it real. The rings comment is wild though, mine got snug too and I assumed it was just me ✨
  • runner_aaron: Tbh fell asleep faster on the 2, like maybe 10 mins quicker, but the sleep itself wasn't as deep as the 6 for me. The 6 I was out cold, the 2 I just drift off quicker but wake up easier. Rings thing is mad though, mine did the same, didn't even clock it until you said it now. How long were you on the 2 before you pulled the plug?
  • elle774: Wait, I didn't pull the plug actually, I'm still on the GHRP-2 now, only about 10 days in. So not giving up on it yet but the water retention thing from the 6 is gone which I'm happy about tbh. Interesting that you found the sleep on the 2 lighter. For me it felt the opposite on night 3, less waking up, but I only have a couple nights to judge. Maybe it catches up later. How long did you run the 2 before you swapped back? 🧪
