    How long ago did you go off? give it time i always feel like shit for about 5-6 week post cycle but thats normal because your test is low and your estro is high. You just have to realize that you will feel this way and its not anything other than low test levels....as for dopamine I guess it could happen but I would think it would go back to normal as soon as your body starts making test again?

    testosterone raises dopamine as far as i know, too much testosterone will give you the high, u know the feeling when u r on. eventually they downgrade from too much dopamine and you would need more and more test to feel "normal", just like drug addiction believe it or not.

    iduno man honestly I would ask your doc....I have not heard of this happening to anyone eles in here but I know it is possible. did you take anything eles while on? clen ? eca stack? those can do the same and take time to recover from.

    ephedrine is bad for this! I use eca stack for about 6 weeks and was up to about 100-140mg a day by the end...when I went off I felt horrible for like a month! never again!

    there are a number of supplements you can take to re regulate you body and get it back on track...they work very well! alot of drug addicts are put them to get their brain back up and running like normal.

    rhodiola rosea
    Ginseng
    St. John’s wort

    These are all great! also stay away from stimulants because they will only drain your body more.

    i tried panax ginseng but ANYTHING that increases dopaminergic neurotransmission (like ginseng) will give me a high for a VERY short time like for hours then i will crash really really bad and my prolactin spikes because my receptors become burned out and dont respond to dopamine.
