I’ve had this happen before too. Not only libido but some sort of euphoric rush when I randomly reintroduce HCG at times. Just that it tends to fizzle out.
Do you keep your TRT dose the same?
Yeah I have for now, 125mg on Test E currently until it runs out. I want to try daily prop with HCG next
For what it’s worth, 10mg/day of sustained release compounded pharma Preg sent my libido higher than anything ever has, probably truly teenage levels, no exaggeration.

How long did you run the preg for?
Probably about a month or so, then bumped it up to 25mg/day and started getting bloated and moody.
At the time the idea of letting your E2 ride as high as possible was all the craze with Danny Bossa and his crew of PMS’ing women following him around, and I unfortunately tried out that method for much too long. I’m now taking Primo alongisde Test for E2 control and feel a million times better.
I’m actually soon going to reintroduce Preg/DHEA now that I can control my E2 and keep it in a good range. I feel my E2 spiking prevented me from really enjoying the benefits of neurosteroids, so we’ll see.

Great to see you, you’re still in my experience the most valuable poster by far on any forum I’ve frequented.
Escilatopram looks interesting. I have a nice young psych nurse who prescribes things easily, I’ll ask her about taking it for a ride.
Are the 10mg DHEA/Preg “pharma” (Empower, etc…) or OTC? Which OTC brand if you don’t mind saying?
I hope you’re doing well. I’m also close to 160m/week, currently on 22mg/day (154mg/week), 100iu/day of Pregnyl and 50mg/week of Primo. Feeling the best I’ve ever felt since starting to play around with my hormones.
The Pregnyl initially made me feel amazing but again after a while I started getting bloated, benefits went away, etc…not from typical post-habituation settling to a lower baseline, I’m talking feeling like absolute shit.
At that point I’d heard enough about guys using small doses of DHT derivatives to control E2 and getting some extra DHT benefits and said fuck it, let’s try Primo.
Now that I know it’s working, I’ll probably take everything down a notch to ~100mg/week Test + ~35mg/week Primo and keep hCG at 100iu/day. I might even feel better at the lower doses and I have zero worries running 35mg/week Primo for life (but I’d be interested in getting your opinion on that).

I too would be interested in what would be more beneficial long term to control E2, a micro dose AI or something like a low dose Primo as you mention.
I too tried the let E2 run rampant approach. My BP went through the roof and I couldnt get any sort of erection to save my life. Kept being told it was not high E2 but that my dose or frequency was wrong… It wasnt.
Ye i remember those days, a few years ago. I said it will come and go and… it did.
I truly do believe estrogen gets too much hate sometimes but some people just cannot tolerate sky high e2 they arom to for whatever reason.
Thanks for your opinion on the Metenolone strategy, that’s what I’m thinking as well but I trust your intuition more than mine on this.
I’m sorry to hear about your anxiety and panic. I’ve had both my whole life in a crippling way; I’m talking staying up all night before a deadline, incapable of doing anything besides procrastinating in a state of complete panic, for ex playing 200 blitz chess games in a row for 20 hours straight as the deadline approaches and I panic more and more without being able to stop myself. A couple hours before the deadline I’ll spring into action, completely cracked out of my mind (sober) and literally shaking from absolute panic, and get everything done. It works most of the time but is exhausting psychologically and emotionally. Sometimes I just cannot handle the pressure and completely collapse from the panic and disappear. It’s not good…
One thing Test did for me was take away the suicidal tendencies that developed over time from the despair of witnessing how powerless I was to stop myself from spiraling into complete lack of control and panic. It happened almost overnight and I haven’t browsed shotguns ever since, and for that I’m very thankful.
I haven’t tried Swanson for Preg/DHEA but I’ve tried Nootropics Depot’s Preg and a few other brands (Life extension, Douglas labs off the top of my head) and Nootropics Depot seemed the closest to pharma compounded Preg, but still not as powerful in my experience.
I’ll update my thread on here when I’ve managed to sustain feeling better for a while haha, we’ll see. Good luck my friend. You know, I’ve been told by several people in my life “so you just haven’t yet found the right combination of meds, huh?” in a sarcastic way. And I always answer “that’s right”, completely seriously. And I know exactly what I mean by it. Never give up, we’ll figure it out eventually.
