OK here we go:
I have used the SSRI Lexapro off and on for the past 3 years. I started with 10mg a day and noticed mild sexual sides. The past year I bumped up to 20mg for various reasons. While that helped my mood, it almost killed my dick. So on top of significantly reduced sexual drive and performance my last cycle I ran 450mg’s a Week of Deca.
Now admittedly, I was also running 750mg’s a Week of Test Cyp. In week 3 I started proviron at 25mg ED. However, my week 5-6 I was suffering to much [maybe Deca had fully and finally kicked in] so I upped the proviron to 50mg ED. That helped a bit.
In the four weeks since my last shot of Test I’ve slowly gotten my drive and performance back. Factors for this are likely to be a] the clearance of the Deca and b] the fact I also recently re-reduced my Lexapro dosage from 20mg back down to 10mg ED.
So what does my example teach others. a]Proviron does seem to help but IMO 50mg is better than 25mg. I’ve heard of guys taking 75-100mg ED but at least for me proviron is quite expensive and impractical at 100mg.
b]If you cannot get proviron, aromasin and arimidex are supposed to assist in freeing up SHGB; one of proviron’s alledgedly greatest benefits.
c]Test as an add-on should help, but in my case the moderate dosage of 750mg’s a week was not enough to keep me fully functional.
Hope that helps [/quote]
Appreciate the long reply and example T-Brother. In the case of 750mg test/week, would I just run a normal PCT? test taper? and btw…do you think prolonged use of corticosteroid cream for eczema could somehow affect test levels or performance?
p.s. sorry I lied about the last qs. lol
