Do you think you can ever go back to "normal" after being on for very long periods?

Just wondering if you guys think you can ever go back to normal levels of hormone production and endocrine function after being "on" (cycling AND bridging) for periods of 12+ months? I see many of us are now doing somewhat heavier cycles with varied PCTs and more bridging alternatives with test, dbol, IGF, HGH, etc., so it should be interesting to see what everyone has to say.

I've done it. I think it takes quite a long time to really get back to normal. I didn't use things such as igf-1 and dermacrine though either.

I stayed on for a really long period of time back in the day and i don't think i was ever back to "normal" It's really hard to stay at normal when you have stepped over that line and seen the results from AAS.

I'm really not sure . .

who wants to go back to normal? I say wait until your at least 30 to start, do 2 cycles a year with good PCT for about 5 years, then become addicted and stay on year round. That's really the answer and it's what happens to 80% of the people that head down this path. Some things are just too good to give up.

Nope. It will nevewr be the same for me again. 43 next week and i will never come off of test. I just add in stuff every so often.

Good question, but it depends on too many factors to say for certain -- age, duration of cycles, dosages, the amount of years you do them, the amount of time you stay off between cycles, even the types of drugs.

It's impossible to say how much of an effect it'll have down the line. I didn't need HRT until I was in my late 40's. Was it the result of ASS usage? Not really. My levels were normal for my age, just not acceptable to what I wanted. Meanwhile, I became hypothyroid and I never took a thyroid med in my life prior to having it prescribed to me. So go figure.

It'd be fair to say that if you do this for years, expect to go on HRT early in life.

good quesiotn bro. But liek Nelson said, I think once you get into the groove with having extra test circulating your body throughout the years; time will eventually lead you to a maintenance HRT regimen. No biggie. Doctor prescrived thats all

I think age has alot to do with it.

do any of you guys have a "cut off" point where by if your test levels reached that point natrually you wouldnt bother coming off
