    what's your complete cycle and how long have you been on?

    how do you know estrogen isn't the culprit?

    my cycle is 500mg / week of sustanon

    I am into week 2 and usualy I feel benefits from the testosterne very soon ( in 3-5 days)

    3 days ago I started 0,3mg arimidex / day and that is reason why i do think the estrogen is not culprit

    I am sure my gear isnt bunk

    You might not need the a-dex! some people dont need to run an AI along side the cycle, maybe when you introduce the a-dex thats when you started to feel like you did, first thing I would do is drop the a-dex and see how you feel, at least then you can eliminate or not!

    Are there any other factors in your life what could make you feel like this? personal issues?

    Have you been on test before? if so how did you feel?

    No there is not reason for this ... depression without any reason ( that is why I am asking on this board)

    I did 2 cycles before and I felt pretty amazing( horny, well being) but any time when I was 5-6w into cycle I lost my libido and so on... after that I finished the cycle

    It sounds like it could be estro. Also you might want to have some bllod work done to determine the issue. Thyroid is affected when running test and hypo thyroidism will certainly cause symptoms like low energy, depression etc, etc.

    estradiol
    free/total testosteron
    .
    .
    OK?

    If you are right and t3 and t4 are elevated what should I do?

    Never the less, its worth the BW. Thanks for the info.

    OK I stopped taking arimidex and added to my cycle masteron 300mg/week in 3 shots to lower my shbg levels.

    Any better idea? My libido is like in PCT but am on cycle :-(

    Had anyone the same story as me in the past?

    I'm having the same issue. Libido is sometimes up but usually down. Motivation was through the roof before my cycle and now it is down. Also have had spurts of depression.

    Don't mean to hijack this thread. I am on 400mg/week Test E for 5 weeks so far. Adex is EOD. I think the Test is real as I've gained 10lbs. and have had random pimples. Don't know if the Adex is but it's from the same source.

    I think I may try E3D with the Adex. I think I have to use Adex cause I'm on Avodart. Anyone agree or disagree? Would anyone try something other than E3D?

    Hey maxtrin. I lowered the A-dex to E3.5D (with my Test E shots) and I've been feeling pretty good. All 3 sides have significantly lowered but not 100% gone. How's your situation?
