Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I did a 12 week test/var cycle 500mg of test and 40mg of var/day. After two weeks at the end of the cycle I did 100mg of clomid a day for a week and the 50mg of clomid for 2 weeks. Now it has been about 2 weeks after that and I am very depressed(like clinically depressed sad all the time). Nothing is really going bad with my life but I am just down is that from the gear or what?
Am I Going Through a Post Cycle Depression?

That is the other thing. I am not in the gym. While i was on, I injured my left forearm and kept working out with the pain. I did that as long as I could then the pain got so bad I couldn't even lift a 6 pack of coke over my tailgate in my truck. So another bodybuilder told me to stop lifting or it would never heal. So I did. Then I just did cardio and some legs well 2 weeks ago I nailed my foot on a rock and can't do cardio now. So I have just been going home watching old movies.

Old movies are good, I’m watching South Pacific.
Heal your body, but you must get back in the gym,
if it is clinical see a shrink, life is to short for depression

Injuries are simply part of living, like breathing,
As you get older,
injuries happen on a regular basis,
you simply need to work around them, and be as careful as possible.

Hey bro, I am a real live shrink! This is common with steroids at certain parts of a cycle, and yes, often at the end. Try to hang in there, be mindful, focus on the good. Know that this will pass and you will be okay. If you are feeling like killing yourself pls see a doc ASAP.
listen Bro, Clomid screwed with my head something terrible last PCT. It is notorious for its emotional side effects including severe depression. You just have to tough it out or get on an anti-depressant for the time being. I will have to admit that it does restore the hpta pretty effectively. My blood tests proved that. Good luck.

Dude you just explained why your depressed. You went from feeling var/test pumps in the gym to using clomid and watching old movies.... WTF?
During PCT take all the natural supps along with clomid nolva and HCG and keep training dieting like you did on cycle and all will be well. Otherwise your gonna need a shrink, sorry to be so blunt but its the truth.
if you stop training when you come off gear then the cycle did no more than give you a "12 week high" at the gym and now that will be gone. Keep the discipline up and your gains, strength and enthusiam won't change so much.

Your are so correct getting older sucks
But consider the alternative.
In my early 50’s I probably spent 50 grand on cosmetic surgery,
Guess what I still look old.

I would say yes. . .plus, clomid makes lots of people very emotional anyway. I always throw in a bunch of herbals. . .maca, avena sativa, trib, horny goat weed. . .plus some extra zinc and no-xplode with my PCT and I recover real nice.

Ok guys... everyone needs to relax with all the shrink talk and anti-depression meds... It doesn't sound like he's manic or suicidal or anything like that!
curling, first you need to understand that what you're going through is perfectly NORMAL... most everyone typically feels some sort of "let down" or even depression when coming off a cycle... either during PCT or after it... think about it, it's natural... you're on an extended AAS high, on top of the world, and then you come down and feel like crap... also, clomid has its side effects...some people get the "emotional sides" during clomid use, some people get them after the fact.... again, all normal
IF you start feeling extremely depressed where you just can't cope, and it lasts a while,THEN see a doctor... maybe there could be some other medical issues involved...... also, many anti-depression meds take a while to kick in and they have their own bundle of side effects (i.e. they're NOT fun!)... in the meantime, you can try some mood-ehancing meds ... I know people that use Provigil (Modafinil) to enhance mood.... I've seen alot of people recommend selegiline as an anti-depressant.... you can try some OTC stuff (5-HTP, St. John's Wort - both for mood enhancement.. and avena sativa, maca, tribulus for libido)
Good luck bro!

Well, I still haven't killed myself yet. I guess that is a good thing. I asked my wife to shoot me and she wouldn't do it because she didn't want to go to prison. Selfish bitch.
Like I said I would love to get back in the gym but I think I will just screw up my forearm even more. I mean should I try to workout light or should I just stop until I am totally healed so I can go heavy again?
I really appreciate the advice I will try that st john wart and 5hpt(that was a very good post mr muscle guy) first because it makes me more depressed giving doctors money(no offense stryker). I just wish I could so some cardio or something to release some endorphines but dang my foot hurts stiill and it is hard to even walk.

i seriously am depressed i just took the last shot of my cycle on sunday. i really don't want to stop but i know i have to. i just hit a little higher 1 rep max on flat bench tonight. ending first cycle hit 315. hopefully i will keep getting stronger for a couple more weeks, hit the hcg and go back to slow natural gains. but if im off for longer than 3 months it'll suprise me. i did 12 weeker. i won't start counting time off until end of pct. but will probably only break 12 weeks after that.
first cycle was test e, c, omnadren, all mixed, don't ask, and var.
next cycle
sust 250 or 350 2X per week and NPP
)))))))))))))))00
i cannot fucking wait.

take the time to get fully healed.... if not, you're only making things worse... better waiting some extra time now than getting hurt again and having to wait twice as long later.... muscles have memory, you'll bounce back in no time... get yourself primed mentally first, then the rest will follow
Cool.. yer not dead... lol
Ya.. I feel like a bag of smashed assholes around this time of year anyway... but post cycle it's worse... I just finished up too.. was walking threw the parking lot this morning heading to the bus, and got all reflective about life in general, and felt like shit... then told myself to fuck off... seriously... try it... it works...
Just try and tough it out.. sleep a LOT and eat well... just stay in... smoke some green if you're into that... helps me out...
