Serious Question… I need some help!

[anal itch]

As most of you guys know I love to throw in my twisted humor now and then for a few laughs. Well, for the last week or so It’s been getting harder for me to laugh at all.

I don’t know why exactly but I’ve had a bit of depression lately. I’m not one to get depressed easily as I’ve always been able to let almost anything slide without ever affecting me emotionally. I feel like all my hidden insecurities are coming out at once and it’s starting to show outwardly with my family.

This is my second cycle and didn’t experience anything like this before. It has to be related to the AAS as there isn’t any other explanation that I can think of. Prior to this bout of depression, I felt closet to my wife then ever before.

I’m taking 500mg Test Cyp/400mg Deca a week and 50mg Winny ED. I’m coming to the end of week 8 of 12 of the test/deca and the second week of the Winny. I’m taking 10mg of Nolva ED along with 10mg of Aromasin ED and .25mg of Finastreide. Some times I replace the Aromasin with A-Dex as I’ve been trying to see what keeps the bloat down better.

Are my estrogen levels to high? To low? What’s causing this emotional rollercoaster to take place? It’s driving me nuts!

Some of you younger guys must think I’m frick’in wacked! If I was looking at myself from the outside I would think so too.

Your just

On the brighter note...I believe i have read that some do experience some sort of depression while on a cycle..i have never felt this way at all....I'm on now (sust/dbol) and i feel GREAT!! Maybe its the season bro..it is the holidays....alot of people tend to get depressed around this time of year.

This is common bro..When I used to cycle modrate-large, I would actually have to take paxil... Finasteride also makes me depressed, but you are on a low does, so that might not be the case. When you come off, use nolva as opposed to Clomid. The clomid will make you much worse

That sucks my man. I have been there. Couple of questions...How old are you? When you started the cycle did you get an emotional boost from the test? Have you been battling a sickness?

I am generally a happy guy. We all have our ups and downs. I find that when I am down I can attribute it to something else...generally health related. I do not think that taking an antidepressant is the way to go. Although you could try something natural.

good luck - I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to axe3 again.

Thanks guys, I'm 31 and actually just coming off a head cold that took me out of the gym for a few days.

Prior to how I feel now I was on top of the world! I felt better then I could ever remember. That was the test for sure! I hope it passes soon as I don't want to finish out my cycle feeling like this.

I am willing to wager that it was the headcold. Eating poorly, bad sleep, shitty workouts, no pussy. When you are jacked on test and that happens you cant help but to feel shitty.

Dr axe sez:

1 get laid
2 eat like a champ
3 bust yer ass in the gym
4 get a great night sleep
5 repeat

you will be back on your game in no time!!!

Could be the Finasteride or Nolva or even the combo. I find Nolva actually kills my libido over time (due to SHBG increase) which also makes me depressed. The Finasteride may save your hair and prostate to some extent but can also impact mood. Hmmm it's a difficult one bro... I can see why you've gone with them but I personally would replace the Finasteride with Saw Palmetto extract and exclude the Nolva altogether. In terms of picking yourself up remember many good bro's from elite are here to support you If you're feeling a bit down give us a shout anytime!

 

[bigtravis]

try switching test. cyp. does that to me worst than anything else. its the same as how different types of alchohol effect people in different ways. sust makes me feel like a million bucks. try and see if thats it.

it's definitely the test. anything that chemically imbalances you has the ability to trigger anxiety disorder. it happens to me as well.

once your pituitary gland straightens shit out you'll be fine.

 

[smoke67]

Could be anything. Personaly, for me this time of year sucks. The change in the season always throws me off and I hate the cold. Some people say deca will bring you down but I always feel good when I use it. Sounds to me that its probably your cold. If you and your Bride are doing well, focus on that to get you through. GOOD LUCK

agree with dullboy, anytime you have a hormonal imbalance your body does everything it can to try and adjust and comepensate for that imbalance for you it means some depression and anxiety....coupled with the time of the year (does the same to me, changing of the seasons) and your cold its just a combo of things....just do what everyone else has said fight through it and surround yourself with people who can cheer you up and just keep you in aa good mood (family or friends or whoever).....youll get through it bro and goodluck.....k to you

 

[asianlover]

i know that when i am on if i can workout for a weekss or so, like lat weeks because of finalls, i feel kinda down. also, i ran out of adex during this cycle and i guess i got some kinda estro rebound because i was pretty depressed untill i started taking the adex again. i have also heard of people having this kinda problem when taking deca, due to the increase in progesterone i guess. follow dr axe's advice and if that doesn't work it has to be somthing in your cycle.

 

[anal itch]

Thanks for all the great replies! I knew I could count on my extended family to help me out!

I just got back from the gym and I definitely feel better. I’m going to lay off the Nolva until PCT, unless gyno symptoms start back up, and see if that helps as well. Other then that I’ll give good’ol Doc Axe’s remedy a try to kick start things

Thanks again fellas, k all around!

Could be the deca. Deca is a suppressive AAS. On the other hand D-Bol is stimulatory.

Funny thing, when I started this test cyp/deca cycle, I was using Genzyme deca for the first week. Then I switched to a bottle of QV 50ml deca that had 16-18ml's left as I wanted to use that up first knowing that I would need it as well as the Genzyme to complete my cycle.

I switched back to the Genzyme deca two weeks ago, around a week before I started feeling this way.

It could just be a coincidence, which I'm sure it is. I just wanted to throw that out there.

As a caveat I love QV gear and Genzyme gear. Both are excellent in my book.

What of your pituitary can't get straightened out?

Some of you younger guys must think I’m frick’in wacked! If I was looking at myself from the outside I would think so too.

When you supplement your hormone levels, esto can rise and fall. This effects your emotions. You can get a rush of nostalgia ... want to cry ... do charity ... or get in one foul pit of self-hate. This can happen even with the addition of anti-estos.

This is when you have to step outside your body like a Mechanic ... and just say "It's the esto. I'm not crazy."

The mood will pass.

I take arimidex with the test and HGH to keep esto under control. Every once in a while ... the "mood" sneaks in and I have to let it pass.

imo its unlikely to get depression during a cycle, may happen during pct/off cycle.
are you eating and sleeping enough?

if your problems have a solution, why worry?
if they dont, why worry?
