Need help with sex drive

[cftcft]

I'm 23 years old. I just finished my first cycle which was twelve weeks of Test E (500mg/wk) and Deca (400mg/wk) plus 50mg/day Dbol during weeks 1-4.

Right now I'm on week 4 of my post cycle therapy (pct) which consists of every day: 40mg Nolva + 50mg Clomid + .25mg Arimidex

Here's my problem: my sex drive is shot. I also experienced some Erectile Dysfuntion; Cialis helped with that (although my wood is not as hard as it was). The problem is, even when I achieve an erection, I am unable to ejaculate. Sure I can last long and I'm able to give my girl multiple orgasms, but eventually it's no fun when you're unable to unload. I can bust one about once every 2 or 3 days, whereas before I could go 3 or 4 times per day.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Would Tribulus help? I've read conflicting reports on the message boards. The actual studies show that it doesn't significantly raise test levels but many people report that it helps with sex drive.

okay i am not an expert, and gurus of the board will probably give better suggestions, but I do read a lot and I have read that using an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) during post cycle therapy (pct) is a big mistake

this is from the sticky "my post cycle therapy (pct) protocol" in "the classic" section of this board:

"I like Arimidex during the cycle (in fact, consider use of an Aromatase inhibitor (AI) while taking aromatisables a necessity) but it ABSOLUTELY should not be used post cycle (even though it has been shown to increase LH production) because the risk of driving estrogen too low, and therefore further damaging an already compromised Lipid Profile, is too great (this also drives libido back into the ground—and we don’t want that, do we?)."

Time. Give it 2-3 more weeks. These things take time.

Just my opinion/recommendations...
1) Stop the Adex ASAP (your estro is most likely WAYYYY too low).
2) Go ahead and stop the Nolvadex as well
3) keep the Clomid going at 50/day.
4) Trib does nothing for most so I wouldn't bother
5) Add DHEA, I've used it numerous times and it works... plus it's OTC.
..I think between the Deca shutting you down fairly hard and dumping your estro too low, those are most likely your issues. Give it time and it should come back around.

So what exactly should my post cycle therapy (pct) have looked like?

 

[JayC]

There are several different post cycle therapy (pct) protocols floating around that work..
You could do..
HCG (either throughout cycle or higher doses at the end)
Clomid 50mg daily for 3-4 weeks
(no need for an AI... if preferred, you could use low dose AIFM during PCT)..

It's can be different for everyone because sometimes you have to play around w/things to see what works for you.

3 compounds is totally unnecessary and Jayc is right, the adex is probably doing more harm than good by pulling your estrogen down too low.


Standard 4 week post cycle therapy (pct) of comid is fine. More is not better. And even with good post cycle therapy (pct), youll still likely go thru a 2-3 week period where you dont feel like doing shit, including banging the old lady.
