    being shut down means u have lost ur natural testosterone levels . symptoms are: no interest in sex, cant get it up, lethargic (tired, weak, sleepy), not feeling aggressive in daily life habits, low sperm production. therapy is if ur on a cycle is to include testosterone itself in every cycle. if u r having just sexual problems or something that would require u to get ur test levels back up, just use testosterone E or CYP. ALSO, testosterone is a good beginner's cycle @ 400-500mgs/wk, split into 2x/ week injection of 250mg. hope this helps.

    Yup, always include some type of test as a base to all your cycles and you won't have this problem.

    Like hangovers, the only real cure is time. If you just finished a 12 week cycle don't be surprised if it takes you 12 weeks or more to fully recover.

    I would take proper clomid recommendations & add it w/ ur nolv. clomid is the main ingredient in PCT.

    if u r already 6 weeks past, then i guess there is no sense for proper PCT. i never thought PCT was important, until i researched more & more, & these fine bro's on AR made it clear that it is important. please be more prepared in future cycles.

    I WOULD wait the same amount of time that u were on (which was 12 weeks, right) before u go into another cycle. another word of advise, u can take creatine now for at least 2 months to help keep size & adds some vacularity, also will give u some water which i like to help condition ur bone joints.

    I thought I was a quick recoverer.. My sex drive was decent, I had energy and felt good all around.. only problem was a lil less of a libido but that aint necesasrily that bad since still could go several times a day if needed. Nuts were nut full size for sure. Then I go get bloodwork done and what do I find out? My test levels were that of a 10 year old girl. MAN... was I disappointed. My point: u cant really know if u r shut down or not with out PCT. knowing these symptoms will help but even they wont necessarily show whats going on..
