Help: feeling tired and lethargic on 1st Test-E cycle

[oldfeller]

Hi all, I'm into my 1st Test-E Cycle. 500mg week (split 2x a week 250mg). I was stoked about getting going on this. I'm now on Day 9 and I find I'm feeling really tired (like I can't get out of my own way). I find I'm going to bed earlier lately, feel somewhat restless during the day and maybe a little agitated. I don't know what's wrong.. I've been expecting more energy, alertness, boners, etc. but it seems to be having the opposite effect. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal? Should I just keep on plugging ahead through this and things will improve? I'm 43. Is this normal??

Thanks for any info..

What are you using for an AI?

Are you on Armidex as an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) cause that shit was putting me to sleep lol...No matter where i was, all i wanted to do was sit down

Hey oldfeller,

Sounds like we are doing exactly the same thing (first cycle tests e). If, like me, you are following the first cycle described in the sticky therad and are taking 12.5 mg of aromasin daily, that might be the problem. I was feeling the same as you after 5 days so i stopped the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) completely. Now I am on day 9 and feeling great (and I do mean great !!). I am monitoring my bp and my nipples. any sigh of problems and i start the Aromatase inhibitor (AI) again.

Problems or not in week 3 I will probably reintroduce the Aromatase inhibitor (AI). Keep posting, I am doing the same

Good luck

halfwit: Not using anything.. I have it on hand.. Arimidex incase Gyno starts, but so far I'm not seeing any signs.

 

[oldfeller]

Nothingface: have arimidex, but haven't used it yet (no signs of gyno)

blaj: Thanks... Im not on any Aromatase inhibitor (AI) right now.. Im hoping it'll all just pass soon. The only thing I see/feel different right now is that my muscles feel a 'little' fuller / tighter.. Maybe I'm holding a little water.. Only about 1lb difference on the scale, but I fluctuate a little anyway, so hard to say. Thx. for your reply!

Jack Tors/ Freakfoot: I'll stick it out... I was also reading somewhere last night that when your body senses the extra test, it immediately starts shutting down it's own, so until the levels build up from the injections, it could leave you in a state with lower testosterone than you originally had before the cycle start.
