Test E + finasteride causing extreme anxiety

[WelshInBangkok]

Hi guys,

Bit of a tricky situation here. Around 10 days ago I started my first cycle - Test E for 12 weeks, 150mg every 3days (works out at 300mg a week). I am also taking 2.5mg finasteride each day to counter hair loss.

Unfortunately since beginning the cycle I have had a huge increase in anxiety and depressive feelings, so much so it is difficult even to go to work. This began about 4 days after starting the cycle.

So with this in mind I think the only option is to discontinue its use.

I am looking for some advice on what I should do from here? I've injected 3 times so far, with the next due today.

My thoughts at the moment are to continue with today's injection and look to start PCT asap. Is that the correct thing to do? How much clomid/nolvadex should I be taking considering the small amount of test I have used, and for how long? Should i be taking anything else?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'd simply not inject any further and do nothing. I doubt I'd do any pct unless you have it in hand already.
Are you prone to hair loss? If not I would not run Fina unless you absolutely need it. If so for hair loss it's normally about 1 mg per day, not 2.5.

[Obs]

Hormonal fluxes hit us all differently.
It could settle down after a couple weeks and it could compound.

What kel said about the fina, because he is kel and knows most things.

It is strange how many guys I see with anxiety issues on cycle.
I have anxiety but mine is set of by life stressors or rather, a lack of them. Anxiety can be crippling, I feel for you.

If you are wrestling demons and not in the right mindset it may be best to abondon this until you have it sorted.

I'm on 150mg/wk Test + finateride and have not felt the depression you're talking about. It goes to show that these powerful compounds affects each person differently.
