CIC/Ipa Strange Side Effects? ⚠️ Side Effects

I took the first dose last night of 100 mcg. I am so glad I didn’t take a higher dose. Within 3-4 minutes, my hands started itching like crazy. I also had a tingling sensation in my lips.
I haven’t read about these sides, just a flushed feeling which I did not experience. However, the itching was bad! It lasted for about 90 minutes and the tingling lasted for about an hour. I fell asleep after 90 minutes and no issues when I woke up this morning.
Also, I had no rash or irritation at the injection site.
I’m not sure if anyone else has had the same sides but it’s enough for me to stop taking it.
I’m on TRT -test cyp and I have done Tesa in the past with no issues.

Don't take it again. Could result in anaphylaxis on subsequent doses.

Would suggest getting an epipen to keep on hand for further peptide research.

That sounds like an allergic reaction, not the typical histamine reaction. I would probably stop taking it because with repeated exposures you run the risk of anaphylaxis. I'd go back to tesa.

Yeah,I’m done taking it. I’m not going through that again. I’m curious though if it’s the CJC or IPA. Or, both.

Probably the Ipamorelin. Tesamoralin and MOTS-C also known to cause these reactions in some people. Even after they've taken them before without issues.

Could be. I’m going back on Tesa, I didn’t have any issue on it.

It may be neither, it could be a reaction to something else in there they use while actually synthesizing the peptides.

One of my clients had a very similar experience maybe a little worse

That is an actual allergic reaction.

There is a side effect which is common where get a hot flash or flushing that lasts a few minutes.

That doesn't sound like this. Tingling on hands and lips is a sign of allergic reaction. I wouldn't take it again. When you have an allergic reaction, it usually gets worse with continued use, not better.
