Emotional Roller-coaster on Test-E cycle

[newbie00]

I will try to make this as short as possible...

I am currently on the 5th week of a 12 week, 500MG a week, Test-e cycle. Been also taking arimidex (started on second week at .5MG ED).

During the second week of the cycle, I broke up with a girl that I deeply cared about. Obviously, it was hard but I tried to stay positive hoping that Test would eventually make me feel better about myself and the gains I get from it. I finally feel like test kicked in this week, because the strength and libido is definitely up. Now comes the nasty side... It also brought this huge emotional rollercoaster that is keeping me on edge. One minute, I am perfectly fine and ready to move on with my life, the next minute I literally feel like crying...I keep waking up in the middle of the night all sad and sh*t. I know deep down, I am upset about the whole thing, but it seems like Test is definitely amplifying it 1000 times.

Long story short, I am thinking about cutting my cycle short and try to recover as soon as possible, as this emotional state is affecting my life. Do you bros think I should ride it out or get off the gear? I am also afraid if I stay on for too long, PCT is going to be a bitch at my current emotional state. Should I get blood work done to see if something is off?

Oh and, I probably sound like a bitch right now and feel free point it out if I am getting all emotional lol .

A few stats:

Age: 27
Number of cycles in the past: 3
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 165
Number of injections: 7 (I had to miss 3 on the second week due to emergency travel)

If i missed any stat, feel free to point it out.

Thanks in advance.

That is an awful lot of arimidex . What make is it? High/low estrogen have a lot of the same symptoms. I suggest bloodwork ASAP or come off the test and pct.

I truly doubt its the AAS at all. I do think you could use less ARIMIDEX .
This is a personal,,emotional issue about someone you care a great deal
about. Its a coincidence you had this problem and your ON cycle. I would
begin PCT and get your life together and continue in a few months if you
still choose.

It's by Geneza Pharma. Okay...I am going to get bloodwork done tomorrow. As I understand it, I have to wait 14 days before PCT begins...During those 14 days, should I be taking any AI?

Does the following PCT look okay:

Nolva: 20/20/20/20
Aromasin : 12.5MG EOD FOR 4 WEEKS

I have read many posts about clomid being an emotional wreck and I am trying to avoid it, if possible.

Thanks again!

On that low of test I would run .25mg adex. @ 500mg test. I wouldn't have even started using adex until I started I started feeling gyno signs.

@ 500mg test. I wouldn't have even started using adex until I started I started feeling gyno signs.

Slowhand not to be abrupt, but that's reckless advice. Estrogen is to be controlled throughout a cycle. Not only if a problem arises. The most damaging sides of high estrogen are internal, not external. Gyno is the least of your concerns and some people simply never get it (gyno.)

Read this, just disregard the word "aging" in the title as it still applies:

I wouldnt run armidex at 500mgs. Cut out the armidex and keep your cycle going and break through it. The test is just getting into your stream and at weeks 5-10 you will see the best gains. Best of luck...

Because he is running to much adex does not mean he should stop using it all together. .25mg EOD is a good place to start and works for most. .5mg ED was 4x what he needed.

Even though it's more than likely your E2 is crashed you are right, under the circumstances it's probably best to cut the cycle short and do a PCT until you get your head back where it should be.

^^ I agree with this

[LAbuddy]

I had the same side effects with running 500 a week... I got too emotional and started to have anxiety. I had to cut down the dose to 200 and after 2-3 weeks I started to feel better. Good luck. Too much test is not good for you.

[ghettoboyd]

I understand why your quitting the cycle bro and agree with everyone that its the best move going forward..... one day when your ready you will have a successful and productive cycle and when the ex sees you again she will regret breaking up with you...good luck bro...

Messed up life and steroids dont mix. I did it for years and was a nightmare. A vicious circle, get your life together and worry about juice when things are good. High hormones and high emotions dont mix well.

Wait............what?

agreed. also being on too long doesnt help either. Ive been on for over 20 weeks now and its a nightmare, im coming off in the next 2 weeks.

Thanks everyone. I am really glad I posted here. All these comments are really helpful. I stopped pinning and got bloodwork done today. Will get the results tomorrow. Hopefully PCT will be painless. Also, I didn't know low estrogen could cause anxiety and depression-like symptoms. That's really good to know.

[newbie00]

Got blood work done.

Yep, as expected crashed estradiol. Test level looks fantastic though lol

Estradiol <6.0 normal range: 7.6 - 42.6
Testosterone , Serum >1500
FSH < 0.2
LH 0.1
