350 Test E for 20 weeks?

[MikeJones80]

I'm 31, and I've had zero libido for 4 years since I been off Propecia, I went to and Endo and Ive got low-normal test levels but the doc didnt prescribe TRT. I've been using 350mg Test Enanthate for the last 12 weeks with .25mg daily Anastrazole. I feel awesome, libido and overall health is great. A little gyno but I feel like a million bucks. I'd love to keep a low dose of this going for a long time. When should I cycle off with PCT? Thanks

the longer you are one the harder it will be to come off and recover.
350mg per week is higher then a trt dose.

Well if your done with kids and have a low test Ur gonna remain on the rest of your life. If i was at that point i wud run a level of 4-500 for as long as u want with frequent blood test to make sure your good. Or u can do a 16 week cycle and then off for 10 weeks using pct. What were your levels??

It's average, it's low if your on a cycle

I think 150mg is about hrt level but it depends on how low your Test is.

[bigswoll]

If it's 150 that's very low avrage depending on age I's 300-700

is that total test level of 450? thats not low right?

thanks for the replies,
Yea I spose its within normal range, but Ive experienced the permanent damage that ppl are reporting from taking propecia, night and day difference that happened 4 years ago even after I stopped taking it.

Apparently it blocks some metabolic pathway, thats not related to testosterone.


350 a week was a nice bandaid on the bulletwound, and it worked for me, now its time to cycle off before I mess up my endocrine system even more.

Is propecia known to have such long term effects? Even after stopping it 4 yrs ago? It partially blocks conversion of test to DHT in scalp and prostate. But your total test level should not have been affected, as shown by your 450 results. You said the bloodworks were from 'before'. I assume you mean before your 350mg/wk of pins?

There have been class action lawsuits related to the (sometimes) permanent libido issues caused by propecia even after coming off. I brought this up once before in a thread about preventing hair loss and was attacked by several of the people that post here as not having a clue what I was talking about. This guy is evidence of what can and often does happen. I've seen links that suggest as many as 5% of people will experience this side effect. That's pretty significant. I'd rather be bald with a working libido.

i am guessing this has to do with the inhibition of 5AR outside of scalp or prostate, maybe the CNS. i have heard of some emotional disturbances like depression, but i didnt know that such effects can be so prolonged.
