"Mental" issues after cycle

[High-Jacked]

I finished 8weeks of test/eq at 500mg each. I ran HCG 500iu's ed for 2 weeks after my cycle along with 20mg Nolva daily throughout the cycle. After the last shot I have also been using Tribulus/Avena/Maca. It has been 4 weeks since the last injection, my weight hasn't dropped and strenght has increased ............. BUT from time to time I feel depressed and my sex drive seems really low. THis is my main concern, the thing is that I feel like its in my head why I have no sex drive and weak boner power. I never think of how good sex is anymore, but rather " I hope it gets hard". It pisses me off, I can still get hard but not like I cold before the cycle. With all these herbs and PCT drugs, I should be sporting wood 24/7!

Does this happen to anyone else?????????

i know the feeling... happened to me as well. however, i think it might be mostly mental. seemed like once i regained confidence and my anxiety level went down (came w/confidence) everything returned to normal. seemed to be mostly psychological to me.

i used to get similar problems after a heavy cycle with test. i used to also get paranoid. i would think people were after me and sometimes i would flip out on someone cause they looked at me in a certain way. it was only temporary. with the boner thing, usually a few weeks after the last shot it comes back to normal. are you using clomid?

It happens to all of us, I am in the same boat as you, right now, first have to worry about if it will get hard, then worry about if I will cum, I know it is a result of a heavy deca, fina cycle, that just ended two weeks ago, I just pray things will start to get back to normal in 2-3 weeks.

The thing that sucks is even when you know that most of it is still in your mind... its real hard to get your mind to "believe" that nothing is wrong and to stop worrying. I guess I could say that my sex drive is a little bit stronger thanlast week. When stopping a test cycle there is such a contrast between the amount of sex drive and confidence when on rather than off, that any amount of sex drive feels low (since when on test= sex thoughts 24 hours a day).

I am taking Avena/trib/maca like it is oatmeal, i.e. lots of it! Seems to be helping. My last cycle I didn't use HCG and seemed to recover better, but there are so many other variables that I guess it wouldn't be educated to say that the HCG caused it.

Go to the dock and get blood test done up.

After that 2 things can happen:

1- come back with the info so we can help you with your post cycle therapy (the real stuff not all the herbal shit you mentioned) HCG and 2-3 weeks of nolvadex and or clomid are in order. Also, you need some proviron cuz you probably have NO DHT in your system now, and that explains the low sex drive and limp wood.

2- Play the doc for a perscription ...cuz it is obvious thet you are still shut down from your 1-gram per week cycle. Might as well make the most out of the situation

excellent thought provoking reply gunner44.

If we used proviron throughout our cycle DHT would be high enough to avoid that 'no dht' sex drive crash right? would we need to continue proviron w/ clomid and nolvadex?

Also, peeps are trying to stay away from clomid and just recover on nolvadex.. thoughts?

Yeh but do you realy want steroid abuser on your med file. Anybody any input.

Shit, I have "mental" issues when I'm on, off, coming off, going on, you name it. I'm just plain crazy. It's all part of the hormone game we play. You gotta love it.

Yeah but that would be better than "Chronic Masturbator" thats on mine right now.

 

[IHateCrunches]

lol karma to you for being a chronic masturbater

 

[gunner44]

I always run Proviron during a cyale and after.

Shit, I have been on Proviron almost constantly for 2-3 years now at at least 25mg daily off cycle and 50-75mg on cycle.

I can say for sure that proviron makes a difference in my free test levels. So there seems to be some reality in the idea thet Proviron interacts with SHBG, possibly binding to it more than other androgens.

I am quite sure that I have a condition where my SHBG levels are elevated. By this I mean that my blood work will show a normal 780-880ng/dl plasma test levels , while at the same time my free test levels are in the shitter.

My doc cant really understand this situation, but for me, Proviron is the answer. Because of my SHBG condition, I have found that mega amonts of juice really do not benefit me more than a 500 mg per week cycles, UNLESS I use a large amount of Proviron.

Proviron is a very interesting ancilary drug. Most people simply think of it as an oral DHT, but I do not think that it behaves like natural DHT. My hairline should be badly effected after the last couple of years, and it has not suffered from Proviron alone.

Winnie seems to be worse on my hair than Proviron, so go figure.

Gunner44: Thanks for the info bro. I actually did run HCG at 500iu's ed for 2 weeks after my cycle, and upped the Nolva to 40mg during HCG and 3 weeks afterward (currently).


I am feeliing a little better though, I contribute it to the higher doseage of Avena (3g's ed) and Tribulus at 1500mg's ed.


Also is there scientific evidience that supports that after a heavy/intense leg workout testosterone output is increased? Because fo me I feel hornier for a few days following, and my acne increases........ thats what it seems anyway, could be in my head again! But then again, what isn't?
