Describe your crash after cycle...

[Blond Beast]

Yup, Clomid is the moodiests shit I've ever taken. Never been on a rollercoaster ride like that before. Damn, just thinking about it.

 

[thejpman]

did my post cycle therapy (pct) whith clomid not especially emotional, I feel good as usual, I must consider my self lucky compares to some of you guys

 

[Gambit]

Low sperm quantity.

 

[Lauw]

Yep. It seems on Clomid your totally fine OR you get an emotional roller coaster ride.
If you feel fine you can consider yourself very lucky because the emotional effects from clomid can be pretty bizarre. It got me so incredibly depressed. I didn’t give a fuck about anything. That sounds cool, but it wasn’t.

@ niclipse: dude, that suck’s. I hope the anti depressants make you feel better.

well after review depression the big one--i now understand, cause im on lexapro for anxiety and mild depression ,small amount but it happened after last cycle.life is getting better for me now with the meds--i will still use gear

 

[simpllyhuge]

has any one here run low arimidex into post cycle therapy (pct) and if so how was it. i was thinking of running arimidex and novla and clomid all together. it called the pheno post cycle therapy (pct), but i wanted to lower the clomid and make the novla higher.

 

[simpllyhuge]

Clinical depression, while proven to be a chemical imbalance, can be amplified by a patients thought process's. Many people find meds help them out of their depressed state while others are able to ''will'' themselves out of it. Some people find it hard to pull themselves out of depression, even on meds, due to the fact that they create a routine for their depression to follow. One thought leads to another and another and so on. It is like a pathway, the more you walk through it the deeper it becomes. Some friends of mine who suffer from depression found that they were able to identify which thoughts led them into their feelings of hopelessnes, helplessnes and developed a greater ability to cut themselves off from it. Thus creating new pathways for thought. Once you are able to do this the problem does not become non-existant but is greatly alleviated and much easier to treat. As any doctor would tell his patient diagnosed with clinical depression it would not be wise to reley on either of these alone. When utilizing both of these tools, meds+positive state of mind, the chances of sucess increase dramatically.

After the last cycle i did, I also took Clomid. I prepared myself mentally, I told myself this drug most likley will make me depressed and moody. I took 30 tabs of clomid for post cycle therapy (pct) and you know what i really didnt get depressed that much just felt a little low. i was waiting for that day to come when I would cry for anything and what not, but i guess Im a little lucky cause it didnt make me feel that bad! Acne along the jaw line was kinda creeping a bit though afterwards!

Damn!!~

depression is such a touchy subject...so many different views, reasons, causes, and opinions. many believe its not real and you can control.

I BEG TO DIFFER.

it may be all in your head but its deffinatly caused by chemical imbalance, then everyday life stressors is what makes it set in and take effect. i have been on lexapro and effexor (similar to prozac). lexapro helped me alot for that time period. but had killer sexuall sides...could go for hours, but could never get off. effexor i only took for about a month. plain and simple it made me crazy...worse than i was without it by far.

with all the stuff we take, i believe that it has a lot to do with it when we come off..i mean comon, our bodys are on hormone overload, then we stop, then we start..its bound to get to some of us. the best way i found to deal with it was the lexapro, and as little girlish as it sounds make your self a note like on the back of your door youll seee in the morning, things are ok, be better soon, and this is just a side effect, its not real...shit along those lines...well im done babbling....hope this helps someone

 

[jpflex66]

good post--how long did it take for the lexapro to work for you?

 

[Deep South Chris]

good post--how long did it take for the lexapro to work for you?

they say up to six weeks, but by the end of my second week everything was rolling off my backside and i was in much more of a better mood. could be a little longer, i guess it just depends on dosage and individual person, i was on 20mg once a day

I've never had a real problem except for the hpta shutdown. My mood and energy has gone down a little, but never real bad. But my sex drive goes to shit for a while and it takes me a while to come back.

I have done about 7 cycles in the last 4 years,and it seems like as time goes on,"post cycle" gets tougher and tougher mentally.After my first couple cycles,I felt fine coming off.Now I get really dedressed,and have no desire to do anything.I alway's wear loose clothes because I feel like I shrunk so much I don't want anyone to notice.I alway's feel like a small weak person when I come off,I also become anti social.

Same here. I have done about the same number of cycles. The crashes have gotten so bad that I am seriously considering giving up AS entirely.

.....maybe a var only cycle.

 

[jpflex66]

well im on TRT/HRT and anti0depress meds so crashing after may not be as bad anymore--if your depressed cause you lose size and little strength, big deal..im talking about real depression and low level of natrual test--if it stays real low after cycle you will be down in the craps--if all that gear did after cycel was just lose some size and stength maybe energy to..no big deal--but for me after last cycle i did not go over 288 test level and i experienced anxiety depression and major mind games i couldnt control--not cause i lost size it was cause of my mental and hormone balance went out of wack--i wa a 26yoa living in a old mans life--i going to start cycle as of tonight--at the end im going back to testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) low dose maybe 100mgs cyp a week--fuk it i want to live my life happy i lost about 8 months of my happy life from last cycle--the testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and anti-depres meds help me now--geez think about this--i have a imbalance in my body i take meds and test safely for years to come-better than a disease, diabetic, major mental condition--my only problem is i dont produce high amounts of tests and i now take anti-dpres meds to help control my anxiety/depression (good thing is im not Clinically depressed-its all hormone related)

This describes me to a T...I hate the lack of motivation after a cycle.

 

[jpflex66]

back agian--iv learned alot about crashing-see if body never recovers in time your serritonin levels drop too--genitec or comes w/age-but after cycle anxiety/depression can set in faster if predisposed to the imbalance--will power will not correct the problem...its chemical imbalance--so answer is ANTI-DEPRESS SSRI meds--some argue that its no good, but your brain and chemicals just dont snap out of it w/will power--low levels of natrual test can set it off balance....ive learned about over two years worth on meds and depression/anixety issues.
SO if you crash--and not talking about libido or strength and size--im talking about mental crash...SSRI meds worked very well..they have such low doses that your body wont get all screwed up....any questions i can help w/opinoins on mental effects

 

[ludakris9]

Depending on what my cycle is affects my crash!

 

[tman55]

i get a bad case of the i don't want to's (do shit).
