Proviron Causing Depression

[CrashOverride]

Trying 25mg proviron daily again and noticing horrible depression from it since ive got back on it.

On trt and proviron is the only thing ive added that can cause it.

Really want to give this a solid chance for libido mainly, has anyone ever noticed negative sides going away over time?

What dose TRT you on?

80mg per week which has my test levels between 900-1k at trough.

Noticed soon as a take one of the doses I feel a slight mental boost for about 2 hours then after that the depression kicks in. Almost like im having withdrawls from it which is weird with.

Primo makes me feel exactly like this so maybe dht related compounds are not for me.

80mg per week is a pretty light dose. You likely feel the boost from the increase in testosterone and when it wears off likely withdrawals. I don't know exactly how proviron works other than I believe its an amplifier. So it's likely increasing your testosterone levels temporarily and then coming back down. No expert here, but I'd like to tag in @T&H or @psauce who are more experienced and I respect their knowledge

I did try proviron once, even up to 75mg i noticed zero. So i can't relate unfortunately to the depression increase. Or libido increase.

I will say that i have favored DHT compounds like Mast and Primo for years, probably at too high dose too long. I lost my libido completely earlier this year after a 500 to 600mg primo run. I dropped to a cruise after but recently dropped to trt and low dose primo.

There might be something with DHTs like proviron lowering SHBG too low, causing issues for some. I know my last few bloods showed 0.2 or so shbg. This is normal for most running test and other dhts, however not all lose libido and experience depression.

I'd suggest ceasing proviron to seeing if depression goes away, sticking to trt only. 1k at trough sounds like it might be too high at peak for true trt.

@CrashOverride Have you been on blast a while recently? What ester test you run and how long after injection do you get bloodwork?

No blast, just been on trt. I am considering dropping down test dosage to around 70mg. Wanted to give proviron another chance before making any test dosage changes.

I know the proviron depression will go away bc ive tried to make it work a few times but always threw in the towel after a few days bc the depression messed with work performance to much.

Thought if I decided to be stubborn with it my brain would adjust to it like how some meds have start up side effects.
