hoping to get some constructive criticism

[bodystacker]

Good afternoon all,
I was hoping to get some constructive criticism. I apologize if this is kind of long. I have done two stupid/immature/uneducated cycles in the past, one in 2003, and one in 2005. Both were Dbol only cycles and I easily pissed away the gains. That’s what I get for listening to my “friends” who claimed they knew what they were doing. I finally decided to educate, then medicate and actually learn for myself so I have spent the last 2 years reading, reading, and more reading. Now I understand researching does not make you a pro, or make you ready for the big boy juice, so I decided to try the basic beginner cycle:
Weeks 1-10 Test E @ 500mg/week (250mg Mon + Thur)
Weeks 1-6 DBol @ 30mg for weeks 1-3, and work my way up to 50mg for the last couple weeks.
AI: Arimidex@ .5mg EOD (Astra Zenaca brand)
Nolvadex on hand in case of sides

PCT 12 days after the last injection:
Day 1: 200mg Clomid, 60mg Nolvadex
Next 3 days: 100mg Clomid, 40mg Nolvadex
Next 10: 50mg Clomid, 20mg Nolvadex
Next 10: 50mg Clomid OR 20mg Nolvadex

Weeks 1 through 5 were AMAZING! I could definatly tell when the TEST kicked in, my libido went through the roof (I haven’t walked around with a “pitched tent” like that since high school haha) I felt like a monster in the gym, and my aggression had a hair trigger.

The beginning of week 6 my libido started to plummet and my motivation and energy was gone. The last few days of week six, I was lethargic as hell, I had zero libido, and my left nipple started to get really sensitive. No pain, no itching, no lumps. Just that annoying “buzzing” feeling. The last thing I want to worry about is gyno so I immediately stopped the Dbol and started on the Nolvadex. I read lots of conflicting guidance on Nolvadex. Some say start at 60mg others say 20mg. I wanted to play it safe so I did 60mg of Nolvadex for 2 days, 40mg yesterday, and 20mg today. I will continue to take 20mg until the side effects subside, and then drop it down to 10mg for a while. I also doubled up on the Arimidex the day I started the Nolvadex and started taking .5mg ED instead of EOD. The nipple sensitivity is going away a little every day, and I’m starting to feel less depressed. If this is what women go through on their period, now I understand why they are so damn moody haha. Now I would love to just get some blood work done and have the answers in black and white, but I’m currently deployed so that isn’t an option.

I’m beginning week 7 today (just pinned a few moments ago) and was wondering what you guys think. Is there anything you would have done differently? If anyone has had an experience like this, how long did it take for things to balance out (I know everyone is different, I am just looking for a ballpark- days or weeks)

One last thing, here are my stats:
31 years old
5’10
178Lbs
14%BF
Clean Diet.
Lifting on and off since 2003, seriously for the last year and a half.

Seems that you started crashing right around the time you came off the dbol... How sure are you on the quality of the test you're using? Brand?
An estrogen spike could also lead to some of these symptoms. Pretty hard to know without the blood work, to bad that's not an option currently.
You could try raising the arimadex or even cutting it back, because crashed estrogen can be a problem too... See, very difficult without bloods. Good luck getting dialed back in.

Thanks for the reply bro, I didn't stop the dbol until a few days after the crash. I really wasn't paying too much attention to my mood or libido as I just chalked it up to deployment life. It was the super sensitive nip that got my attention. That's why I dropped the dbol immediately. I'm sure the test is pretty solid. The good thing about being over here is you don't need a script for anything. I can just walk into a pharmacy and buy what I want. The brand is aburahain co from Iran. The dbol is anabol from British dispensary.
