Anyone have experience with coming off a cycle with/without pct?

[5x10]

First off, I want to say in no way am I saying that a PCT is not required

My last cycle in 07, i did a pct that after looking back, probably wasnt very effective
hcg and arimidex , with some nolva(which could have been bunk)
plus i started it too early(possibly had decanote left in me, which kept me suppressed)

needless to say, coming off was brutal and it took awhile to get back to normal

now, i have everything ready for swiftos pct(including hcg throughout the cycle)

my question is, has anyone experienced a difference in coming off when doing swiftos pct compared to coming off a cycle with nothing or a different pct
i do understand that no matter what, there will be a down time as my body recovers
thanks

I can honestly say that my first 2/3 cycles were without pct many years ago and had a rough time of it losing most my gains and suffering a little depression amongst other things..

Since i began running my cycles with the correct pct no such issues and i believe its possible to keep 80/90% of gains..

Btw im on hrt now so pct is a thing of the past...
