Anyone experienced extreme lethargy from a test blast and problems actually getting a full nights sleep?
Absolutely!
I remember people use to say “you will get the best night’s sleep on testosterone” and “you will be full of energy all the time and fel amazing”
I had miserable sleep on high levels of testosterone and sweat like a pig this stinky dirty feet smelling sweat. Worse insomnia then tren. I felt pretty good at the beginning of cycle but by 4 weeks I would get lethargic for the entire second half of the day.
One of many reasons I gave up high levels of testosterone.

Glad I am not the only one then. Even though workouts are great, the lethargy has really kicked in. O and sleep, yeh, haven’t had a full night’s sleep in a long time. Usually people say you feel on top of the world on testosterone. Sure in the gym you feel like a beast. But the rest of the day, I am dragging ass.
I will chopping down my test dose in my next blast also because other compounds will be added for my meet.
Do you know what the reasons are for extreme lethargy on high levels of test? Or is it just your body in overdrive and that causes an energy deficit.
Im not 100% sure. I always see people say high levels of testosterone are handled well by people etc but it doesn’t really add up because I see a lot of threads like this like this and my own experience where people have endless issues with high levels of testosterone. Bloat, limp dick, sleep, lethargy, etc. Iv used a handful of compounds sense dropping my test dose and iv never experienced side effects as bad as when blasting just high testosterone. At first I thought I was a minority then the more I read and here people share thier experience it ls starting to seem more common then I originally thought.
At first I thought my lethargy was due to estrogen so I used an AI to get it in “range” this didn’t help so then I cut the AI and let it rise to a proper test/E2 ratio this also didn’t help so I don’t think it was related to that. I’m not sure it has to due with my body being in overdrive either because when I used high tren I felt amazing and my body was def in overdrive.
Unfortunately it all comes down to we are all different. Some guys feel great on high test others don’t. Some guys get lethargic on tren and lose appetite others have endless energy and eat like a bear. This is why it’s important I think for people to experiment with compounds (of course after having done thier research and are able to use them safely) rather then following these cookie cutter cycles that are constantly regurgitated like they will work for everyone and if they don’t somethings wrong with you.
This is partly why I’ve run only 10 week cycles my first two times. Got great gains, but also couldn’t stand the sleep issues and tiredness.
I think the lethargy is partly due to the interrupted, poor sleep as well as possibly in overdrive and other factors.
When I started trt at 220mg/week with 1 weekly shot I felt all of the above. Cut the dose in half and it was better but didn’t feel great. Going to daily shots @ 200mg week has feeling great with no symptoms. I’m planning on doing a 500mg T only cycle and wonder if frequent injections would help with that. Not sure if daily is possible at that dose or if it would diminish some of the gains one would get doing less frequent injections. Not to hijack the thread but curious about that.
I dont really understand The every day test cyp/E injections. I understand the keeping blood levels steady part but I just don’t see how the small difference in 2x week injections and ED injections can actually make that much of a difference. With that being said there is no denying that many people have found and swear by trt at ED injections so who am I to tell them they are wrong.
As for the second part of the question if your blasting at 500/week that’s roughly 70mg/day which is 100% do able and you could actually use a insulin needle for that. Doing more frequent injections will in no way shape or form have any effect on gains. But if you find ED on trt is what works for you then I highly suggest you continue ED on a blast.

Thank you for the info! Yeah the ED injections don’t make any sense on paper to me either and I tried it after trying literally everything else first. I just feel so much better its unreal. Even compared to EOD injections it’s night and day. I switched from ED to EOD for 12 weeks just to see and it was very noticeable. Back to daily and feeling great. I feel comfortable now trying daily shots when I start a cycle.
