Hi all,
I have done 3 cycles thus far.
cycle 1: 12 weeks, Test E 500mg/Dbol Kickstart
Arimidex around .25mg eod/e3d towards the end
PCT consisted of nolva 40/40/20/20
cycle 2: 12 weeks, Test P 500mg kickstart/Test E 500mg/Masteron 500mg/Anavar last 6 weeks (bridged into PCT
Arimidex .25mg to start, tapered to nothing due to Masteron
PCT consisted of nolva 40/40/20/20
cycle 3: 10 weeks Test prop 300mg/Tren A 500 mg
Arimidex .25-.5mg eod. Gyno flared, started using letro to knock it out.
PCT consisted of nolva 40/40/20/20
Onto my question. My first cycle PCT went great. I was a little tired but no psychological effects. My second cycle was a little bit more rough psychologically, slight depression/anxiety/jealousy issues. My third cycle PCT was ridiculous. Extreme depression for two weeks, jealous, anxiety the whole bit. I feel like my cortisol was through the roof, so I started taking suppress C and it seemed to help quite a bit with all of those problems (bare in mind, i was in about week 3 of PCT at the time so maybe my test was just coming back.)
I took the standard time on+PCT = time off approach to all my cycles. I told myself during the depression phase of my Tren cycle PCT that I would never cycle again. Obviously now that that has worn off, I want to do something again . I plan on doing the similar run of my first cycle to see how I respond in PCT this time.
Does anyone have experience with the reasoning behind the psychological effects being different on certain compounds? I understand this is part of the game and you just have to push through it during PCT. Any advice on reducing them as a side effect? Anything I should change with my PCT to reduce this?
Have you ever gotten blood work done?

Never had any bloods taken. I know, I know, shoot me.
Itd be a good habit to get into. How are you feeling now? It might be a good idea to get some blood work done now anyway, just to see where everything is at. It never hurts to double check
Feel perfectly fine now. I get acne usually starting around last week of pct. It goes on for about two months after last injection. All my acne is gone. I think this is a sign that my hormones are back in homeostasis. My mood and libido are back to normal as well.
I would really love to do another cycle with tren (probably try a lower dose of test and maybe the gyno will stay away). I was eating like a maniac, had minimal sides while on, gained weight and dropped a significant amount of bodyfat in the process. I was eating probably 4500 calories a day doing no cardio. Gained 10lbs and leaned out. The everyday pinning really sucked though!
Im on my final week of PCT. nolva, Clomid, And Adex. Mental loop. I feel like this is what a womens period is like. At this time im just taking my last few nolva. One a day. Seems like you and I might have a sensitivity to nolvadex on its own. Ususally its the clomd that sends me through a mental loop with high highs and low lows . And Im not convinced my testosterone and estrogen levels are vice versa right now. May just be the nature of the beast for some of us.

I have a friend who ran the same cycles at the same times. He had no mental issues whatsoever during PCT. He was tired/unmotivated, but nothing mental.

That is the definition of mental.
