Now what?

**PJS19** · 07-20-2013, 01:09 PM

Quick recap then my situation. Mid april after about a week of taking Arime stage 5 pct (which has small does epistane in it, I started to feel really weird. Couldnt feel any emotions. I stopped after about 10 days total, as I was sure this was the cause. I got blood work done and for a couple months my total T was in the 300s. So I assumed that is what caused my, what I now understand to be, depression. April and May went by, no improvements, and 2 seperate blood tests 4 weeks apart revealed T in the 300s. Finally saw a specialist and had more blood in June and it was up to 600, but still no improvement. At that time e2 was at 6, according to the test. So my doctor thinks T was still low because free T was low, so he prescribes me clomid. I take it for a month and feel 0 improvements, so I assumed it didnt work. Got follow up blood work done which revealed my total T at 1500!. The clomid more than doubled my T and I still feel exactly how I felt in April. Now, the e2 test hasnt come back in yet, but I am assuming it is probably high since T got so high, so maybe that is a problem.

So now Im just not sure what to do. I thought my depression was caused by low T because I couldnt imagine it being such a coincidence that I started feeling this way while taking a prohormone (although not very long) and when T was real low. My only past prohormone use was a superdrol clone last July, and magnadrol 4 years ago.

Anyone have any thoughts? Or should I start assuming the depression while on a prohormone was a coincidence. Almost 4 months later I feel exactly how I did mid april when it started. Been off clomid for a couple days, and Im assuming now that Im off T and E will settle back down. Anyone think Ill start to feel better when that happens?

Thanks for any input, I am struggling to try and get my life back.

Ok sorry for the long post, I didnt realize.

and Dan B I did get full blood work done. Everything else was normal. Vitamin D was a little low the first test, but I am taking a supplement now. Every other category imaginable was in range.

i miss read your waiting on e2 results

**PJS19** · 07-20-2013, 02:15 PM

I believe the e2 results will be skewed because I was taking clomid while tested. But that is just what I've heard. I am getting more blood work in about 6 weeks so those should be more accurate.

Could High e2 make the depression stay even though T went up?

Its not that long. I'm on a phone so everything looks long... I was just being a little girl. Sorry. Anyways, of you have no history of depression and your bw looks ok I don't know what to think. I have depression and I just take meds for it. I got sick of trying to figure it out. I've been that way most of my life so I do what anyone today would... I blame my parents
