Need help depression during cycle

ad

I was planning on running a 16 week cycle of 500mg of test E + 500mg of Eq with 100mg of prop Eod for the fist 3 weeks and for 3 weeks after my last shoot of text E and Eq. Im about 7 weeks into my cycle and I would say the last 2 to 3 weeks I have been getting depressed and a little aggressive. Mentally I try to be strong and tell my self it's the gear but still can't snap out of it. I also deal with a lot of stress from work which I know doesn't help. I just want to feel better so not sure what I should do at this point. Should I drop the dosage or switch over to prop so i can just maintain my gains. I have 5 full bottles of prop. Thanks for the help brothers.

Don't drop test e lol and don't start prop til your done/out of test e. Test e and test p is same ahit different ester. Eq will give depression, but honestly I have terrible depress ion sometimes cuz relationship and I'm still on 1 gram eq lol you get used to it. I can't imagine how much better I'll feel when my eq run is over. 2 weeks left then I start clearing

I'm on 1g a week 500mg of each so, wondering if I shouldn't bump up my test E to 750 mg a week to keep my levels roughly the same or just leave the test E at a steady 500mg weekly.

I agree make sure your AI is legit. Every time I have had an issue with mood an or depression I found that my AI quality was inadequate or my dosage was inadequate. For some reason I can sense if my estrogen is out of control. You should always have two or three brands of AI on hand. That way if your AI is junk you can switch and hopefully you can grab the bull the the horns if need be.

Make sure you are using a good AI and taking a steady dosing schedule with it because high estrogen will make your mood 10x worse.

Taking 12.5mg of AI Eod and 50mg of proviron Ed

12.5 aromasin is an extremely high dose for me I couldn't handle it. Also aromasin half life is less then a day so it's possible you are experiencing highs and lows with the estrogen. Basically the fluctuations could be aggravating your emotions.

I know I did not enjoy the roller coaster effect while using aromasin. Maybe try dosing 6.25 every day.

Are you using an AI?

Well imo just because you're on gear doesn't mean the gear is the cause of the problem. But i do find that when my estro gets too high i start getting depressed and thinking too much about things.

X2. Depression is a psychological issue. Compounds only enhance what's already on your mind. Same with aggression.

Your right and off the back I didn't blame it on the gear because as I said i deal with a lot of stress from work. I'm very good with dealing with stress and after 5pm I put work shit behind me no matter what. It's been 2 or 3 weeks now and I can't kick it. People around me have been noticing it. At this point I know something is off.

Drop the eq that is known to bring on depression. Stick out the rest of cycle with test you will feel better as the eq clears your system. 150mgs prop eod you will keep all your gains. Not sure your pct but definitely drop the eq.

"Drop the EQ?" Are you kidding? eq is a beloved compound for many, there are hosts of write ups on it.

To the OP, follow the advise of rusty and others. Control your estrogen levels with proper a.i. dosage, experiment, only you can find the sweet spot of estrogen for you.

Also, we are very quick to blame depression on compounds, this is wrong. Depression is a psychological issue mostly due to seeing a bleak future in our lives. Write down your personal goals and take action to make them happen. Think productive thoughts.

Think I Should I switch over to 500mg of test E and 150mg of prop Eod or drop the Test E as well.
Pct
Clomid
Novadex

I would run out the test e first then switch to 150mgs prop eod that way you extend your cycle a little bit and get the most out of it. I mean test is test so run test e 750 a week then once you run out use prop until your ready for pct.
