Does Test cause depression or do I have a build of of estogen?

[comrade00]

Not trying to sound like the an emotional tampon, but I am just trying to figure out of I need to up my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dose or something or if this is normal while on Test.

I am doing 600mg per week of Test-E. Currently about to end week 3.


For the past 2 days I have felt depressed. IDK why, I have stuff to look forward to but lately I just been feeling really down and I have no clue why. I really have no reason to be depressed and I am wondering if this is a sign that I have an estrogen build up in my body.

What is your Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and your dose? You could also have a bunk Aromatase inhibitor (AI). I'd use aromasin 6.25 eod or ed. Play with the dose. Only way to find out is BW.

Its not bunk...using Liquidex from RUI doing .25 EOD

Are you noticing any other sides like bloat or oily skin or is it just the depression? I'd suggest getting a blood test done to verify if it is high estrogen but try bumping up your Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dose to ED or take .5mg EOD

Just fwiw, I have seen opinions on liquidex from people saying that theirs was bunk regardless of where it came from. RUI included. However this was some time ago (middle of last year) and the ugls could have fixed this issue by now. I felt the same in my first cycle and I wasn't using an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) on my first run as I just had some water retention and no other sides

Could be elevated levels of oestrogen. Happened to me before. A blood test to check would be a good idea.

 

[KingBF]

high or low estrogen could be causing it but I doubt your crashing your levels at .25eod. as stated above blood work is the only way to really know. If it was me I would bump my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) dose up to .5eod and see what happens

^ agreed not with 600 mg of test a week. You can try playing with the dose and go to .5 eod. I've noticed than when my e2 goes up and then I up my Aromatase inhibitor (AI), within days I can feel myself getting better. This happened to me when my estradiol got up to 117 on my last cycle. I upped my Aromatase inhibitor (AI) and bam within days felt like a new man.

dont do eod do every day .25, keeps blood levels more stable, and you wont forget

EOD is fine, i do 1mg E4D

adex has a long HL so its fine lol

You could even up it to .75 the first day then taper down to .5

Assuming your depression is bad and your e2 is high this might give you some quicker relief. How's your libido. When my estro was high my libido was in the toilet
