Lowering dose. Feel like crap

[Deleted member 21405]

I've been on a steady cruise for 2.5 years 250mg and the occasional blast. Just finished a cycle of 400 test c 400 primo. I finished the primo, and started weaning down my test. Everytime I get close to 200 I feel anxious, tired, low motivation, and just like garbage. Is that common for weaning down to have sides like this or just me? My friends who cycle off and on seem to have these types of things, but not as bad, but they do short cycles.

I am thinking I am just gonna get back to 250 and just leave it alone that's when I feel best. I am guessing its a permacruise for me

Have you gotten your bloodwork done recently? If you feel that way at ~200, it is in your best interest to get bloods done so you can take a peak at what is actually going on.

Without it we're all just guessing!

Everyone is different. I like 250mg year round, but I do not feel *bad* below this down to 125/wk. Also do not feel in any way *better* on more than 750ish though. Find your spot and stick to it. As suggested, bloods can help and everyone should get their internals looked at periodically when it's realistically doable but if you can't or won't go to a doc I just suggest sitting at your comfortable dose.

I had this same problem took blood over 5 times never did find the cause. doc perscribed benzos which worked somewhat then ssris which made me substaintially worse by several hundred times zoloft was especially bad only was able to take 1 dose. anyway after being rock solid at 50mgs pinned eod for months my digestive system finally got back to normal I havent tried going back to 200mg maybe your receptors need a rest. also did an echo several ekgs and all came back really good completely normal

Are you using any anti estrogen compounds? Crashed e2 can make you feel like shit.

I donated and my hemocratin was still 49.7 after donation and 17.9 hemoglobin at time of donation. E2 39 and I took an AI three days prior. So I took .5 ( from a pharmacy ) arimidex 3x this week to get that damn e2 down and have been feeling better. I got some AI locally and pretty sure it was crap so when I'd take it I'd feel ok for a couple days and it would bounce back. And this went on for a couple months. So I think not being consistent with the AI was my error here and having one that wasn't good. Also, wanted mention it had been over a year since I donated.

My test levels well above 1500 and the test only goes to 1500. Free test was basically non existent. I am def gonna stay consistent with labs from now on. It's not worth the sides to not.


Lately feeling good. My ass is back in the gym regularly and trying my best to stop eating pizza but also a struggle. Haha. Thanks for the replies
