I’ve been on MJ over a year now. Currently on 10mg. The only side effect I still have is extreme tiredness two days after injecting. It’s the kind of tiredness where you just cannot keep your eyes open and my body feels so heavy just moving around feels like effort. I’ve started taking it on Friday so the exhaustion hits me on Sunday and I can go and sleep for 2-3 hrs in the afternoon. It’s the only way to get through it, I cannot function without this nap. After this I’m absolutely fine until the next week. I’m not eating so little that this could be causing the tiredness I don’t think, and I’m very active the rest of the time. Anyone else get this and have you done anything other than napping that’s helped?

Yes!! Just moved up to 5mg. Feel horrendous - tired, weak and dizzy. Typically, I woke in the night and couldn’t get back to sleep so feel even worse today.

I’ve just started on 2.5, injected on Sunday night and had to have a nap on Monday afternoon
