Lethargy | Test C

**radioactivegraphite** · 12-21-2020, 10:43 AM

I am feeling pretty lethargic lately. Just about everyday now. I feel it may have something to do with my active cycle.

This is my first cycle - started Dec 2nd
I am 5’10” and 180lbs
Testosterone Cypionate 250mg 2.5x week
Have not taken any AI as of yet
I don’t know my body fat %
I don’t know if I’m gyno prone

Should I be concerned? I took blood tests before any of this and everything came out ok. This only happens like once a day but just about every day. I am on Wellbutrin for depression and Lamotrigine for mood stabilization. I quit weed 100% cold turkey and stopped taking adderall 100% around the beginning of December (at the beginning of my first cycle). I understand I should probably talk to my doctor to get the real facts. I am also aware that it was probably dumb that I quit 2 drugs that I took everyday and started my first cycle at pretty much the same time making it tough to see what is causing this. But I want to hear from the community first. Many thanks!

Edit: Will there be any consequences if I tell my doctor?

So you quit taking speed and have less energy...

And you think your cycle is causing your issue?

I've been using test-c for 20 days now and I started feeling lethargic less than a week ago. I totally get where you're coming from though. But I am a baby at this stuff and still learning, so I still have a lot of questions. For the most part I ask this because of the sticky I read from austintine: https://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-...rst-cycle.html, and the whole thing about the blood thickening and blood clots made me concerned is all.

I think it's the estrogen. For me lethargy is usually caused by either the blood being too thick, or having too much estrogen. I would take .25 mg anastrozole 24 hours after each injection. Like Stephen said, it's too early for you to have thick blood. I don't get any gyno symptoms when my estrogen is too high, just some bloating and a horrible mood & lethargy.

Dude, I literally just found out yesterday that my mom was in contact with someone that had tested positive. Definitely something to consider checking out lol. I don't think it's a funny matter, but what a coincidence on how you replied with this with what I just found out yesterday. Thanks.

Got it. I get overly paranoid about stupid stuff like that..more so anxiety I guess. But that's welcoming to hear. Like I said in my post, I have not taken my AI yet, after 3 full weeks on my first cycle. But I think it may be time to start after all. I have capsules that are 1 g, but from what I understand I can break the cap open and divide that into 2 or 4 equal parts if need be. Sucks that it's not a tab though..would be so much easier to break that down. And the fact that it's in a cap. I'm not sure if that's meant to release at a slower rate or be released lower down the line to be effective..or if I can just dump the power down my gullet hole. Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

EDIT: I looked back on a previous thread I started and can see that it was recommended by The Deadlifting Dog that it's ok to just mix it in with water once I break it down.

I MOVE WEIGHT LIKE YOU MOVE YOUR MOUTH

I agree with you. That is the consensus that I am hearing anyway. Thanks for the input bud!
