HCG and anxiety

Hey guys,

Started doing 250iu shots 2x a week of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) a week ago (2 shots in) and I've been getting a lot of anxiety lately. I'm in my 5th week of test e 500mg a week and used 50mg of tbol ed for the first 4 weeks. Been taking .30 mg of adex eod to combat estradiol which is elevated after Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) shot. Also, in the gym I just don't feel the same strength that I felt about a week ago. Any body have any input? Could Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) be causing my anxiety?
 
Yea I agree. Also, I lost a pound this week even though my diet and training has been constant... I'm starting to think my gear may be bunk but it's PINNACLE so idk. It sucks living in New York because its nearly impossible to get blood work without going to an endocrinologist, which is just a bad idea for illegal steriod use. I can always go to Connecticut but it'll wind up being at least 100$ and several hours of traveling. Bad situation.

So my anxiety is through the roof, losing strength, losing weight, tired as hell all the time and just overall feel like SHIT, even in the gym. My skin is oily as shit too
 
^ Just use private labs. We have a sponsor here that can help. You don't need an endo.

Get blood work and make sure you request a Sensitive E2 assay. Don't get a standard Estradiol test.
 
Alright, I just called (no answer) and emailed them so hopefully I'll get a response soon, I can get in as early as 11:30 a.m. tomorrow to quest labs. Would you also recommend getting the "Testosterone Free and Total" test?

You don't need testosterone right now. Do that mid-cycle with a CBC panel.
 
So I was just looking through their FAQ's and I found this:
Q) Will I receive an actual prescription for these blood tests?
A) You will receive a ***8220;Patient Service Center Request Form***8221; in the mail or Email which you will take with you for the blood draw. (If you live in New York, New Jersey or Rhode Island, you cannot order blood work.)
 
Well that sucks. Good luck I guess, just call doctors until you find one willing to test it. Say nothing about your cycle.
 
Yea this is what I was afraid of. I really dont have the slightest clue how I could get a doctor to give me a specific script for that assay without having some type of explanation, and when he gets the results back how the hell would I explain them (in the event my estrogen was through the roof)
 
google more private labs and see if they service your area. you may need to travel, although I don't see a reason why you can't get tested locally. I've walked into general clinics and had them test me back in my younger days. Maybe its different now. Keep researching.
 
yeah man us jersey and ny folk have to get a script for blood work. only alternative is going to Connecticut or Pennsylvania unforntuately
 
Damn man.. Gotta figure something out. In the meantime, should I increase my adex dosage to try and help with these sides?

That's the problem, Bundy. It's a guessing game. You could try and increase to .5 EOD, but understand the risk of potentially crashing your E2, then you'll be really miserable.
 
Do you think .5 eod could really crash your levels? I just don't see what else could be causing the anxiety other than estrogen. I was completely fine a week ago, i felt amazing actually. I stopped taking the tbol and started the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) and bam now I feel terrible.

.5 once a week could crash your E2, everyone responds differently. For my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) dose I no longer use an Aromatase inhibitor (AI). Guessing game.
 
I actually did dose my adex at .5 for 2 doses that were spaced a day apart. I wonder if i may have crashed my e levels then. I have 0 signs of gyno also and my signs of back acne coming on completely dissipated . Man, this guessing game is terrible.
