Irritated / Depressed After Injection?

[Imatk]

Anyone else experience being depressed or irritated after or on the day you do your injection?

At first this wasn't occuring, but now it seems like the day I do my injection I feel a bit irritated... and that often times goes in kind of a roller coaster from irritated to depressed to feeling great.

This usually subsides after the first day, but I just want to know if anyone else experiences this, and if there's something that I should be doing to avoid it?

Thanks for any help.

How often do you inject and how much do you inject?

Consider adding some B-12 (1000mcg) to your injections.

I've never had any issues like that after taking my shots.

I do it once a week and it's .5 cc of test cyp.

I've heard a lot of posters mention estrogen levels as being the culprit for feeling like you do, perhaps consider getting some blood work done to ensure your at optimal levels.

I too was experiencing "irritation" about a day after injection. [200mg once weekly]. I too had wondered if it was driving up my estrogen numbers just after injection, hence causing the irritation. I did happen to check my E2 about a month ago and it was WAY up there at 167; but that was almost a week after my prior injection. I'm now on Arimidex .5 EOD and about due for another blood test.

On a side note, I would also break out about 1 to 3 days after injecting. I've since gone to bi-weekly injections and I don't get irritated like I used to, but that could be the Arimidex] and as far as breaking out, that has gone *way* down, but I do get itchy all over now.. It can get real annoying at times. Not sure if it's related but I just thought I'd share the kind of reactions that can come with injecting as a point of reference.
