Depression

So seems like I am getting some post cycle depression. I am halfway through the nolvadex @20mg ed. Iv lost pretty much all libido, not feeling happy and well just down most of the time. There is one or two other circumstances that are probably adding to the issue but usually they would not be an issue. So its definitely from low test. Anything I can do to get me through this slump? :whistle:

Get some 5HTP.

Is this something I can get OTC or what?

Yep, go to dischem or any pharmacy.

Get your serotonin checked.

Thanks will get it done.

Just read up on serotonin, definitely think that may be a cause of the problem. will get it checked after the weekend.

sorry to hear that man!, just out of interest are you running Hcg?

I ran HCG in my bridge. Waited a bit late, will run it for my entire cycle next time.

Low testosterone has as effect on serotonin and also norepinephrine levels which can cause you to feel depressed. Your testosterone levels will come right. Just give it some time and suck it up. Going on anti depressants will just complicate things further but some 5HTP could do you good as well as supplementing B vitamins and upping your omegas. I wouldn't bother testing serotonin because it will most likely just confirm that it is low due to you coming off exogenous testosterone.

Yea was not looking for anti depressants. People are to quick to jump on the pill to fix it train. I have done some reading and serotonin can be affected by diet so i'm working at structuring my diet to include more omegas etc.

Was just bothering because my first cycle I didn't experience it, cycle was the same length and didn't include HCG. Granted when I was busy with PCT for my first cycle I was in the budding stages of a new relationship where as this PCT has been at the end of a relationship haha.

Yip,gotta take the bad with the good,You should return to normal
in a couple of weeks.

+1 Thx boet, 2caps a day works well while on pct !

Howzit man, was just wondering how you are coming along?

Hey bud. All is good now. Depression is gone. Feel pretty much normal again. Haven't been able to gym in the last two weeks due to the fact that I have been running around sorting stuff out for my move to the UK. Diet has been sketchy to Haha. Hopefully after a week or two that side I'll be able to settle into a routine again and get on track. Thanks for asking.

Haha yea the women are not that great. But luckily I'm gonna be managing a backpacker's hostel that side. My mate did it for a couple months and he said there is quite a few hotties that pass by from states, Canada, Australia, etc so I'll hopefully be able to sample quite a variety .

Good luck with your PCT. Hopefully it's not to rough. Definitely gonna start running HCG earlier in the next cycle. As well as take some of the advice mentioned by MA and chapel further up.

Oh okay i take back what i said then because a few of my mates have passed through hostels there and they all said there was loads of talent!, now im jealous :lol:

Thanks man I started running HCG from the start but screwed up the reconstitution of the first vial so i doubt it had much effect but i have used the other one religiously and will continue to do so throughout PCT so hopefully recovery isn't that hectic
