I stopped the GH immediately. Took beta blockers for a few days until I came down to normal. Doc and I have discussed it and she put me on valsartan for now.
I dropped the whole cycle after the BP spike. Once again, six weeks into primo and I had to quite. The first time was the gym closures last year. I am just destined to never use primo.
Overall I love MENT. I’m at 5mg/d and it feels great, no sides, no bloat. Minor recomp effects, though they’d be more than minor if I was eating better every day instead of 6/7 days every week.
I have never used EQ and it’s on my no-fly list because of the effect on HCT. But 800mg is a typical starting dose, and if you’re using trt test plus MENT I imagine that would be a solid cycle. I would skip the mast. It doesn’t seem to add anything to this sort of cycle and the goal should always be to get the most you can from the least amount of drugs.
Cardioselective or nonselective beta blockers? Propranolol is great for public speeches.
Thanks, maybe it will be the MENT, HGH, EQ and test this time. I’ll check back in a few weeks after starting to update if you like. Been exited about trying MENT since mid last year!!
Propranolol. It was eventually effective after taking several doses. Not the best stuff I’ve ever used in my life.
I wouldn’t say no fly list for me, but I am hesitant due to anxiety. I already am anxious enough. I don’t need anything making it worse.
I have a bit of anxiety as well. Will see if it is compounded by the drugs at all.
The EQ anxiety seems hit or miss. If it is your first time with it, I say start low. Perhaps 400 mg/wk. I think in a stack of drugs you don’t necessarily need to have EQ that high.
I already deal with some sleep issues due to anxiety. If I were to get worse insomnia, it would almost defeat the purpose of using AAS.
I’ve had this issue in the past and it creeps up now and again when work gets stressful but the last year or so i’ve kept it under control with a sleep product my TRT doc gave me. Works great. Kinda just keeps the mind shut down so you can rest.
What is it?
It’s called cerenityPM. Two caps around an hour or so before bed and I have no issue falling asleep and if I wake up during the night my mind doesn’t start to race and I have no issue falling back asleep. I was told to start with two caps then advance to four but two has been great. I’ll drop to one occasionally but two is the sweet spot. Def worth a try. A friend of mine was having issues and they have stopped since he started taking. Give it a try.

I checked it out and it contains exactly the stuff that I found works good for sleep induction.
I have the problem of waking up 1 hour before I have too with bad dreams, dry mouth and the inability to fall asleep again. Even if I don’t take melatonin which is known to be possibly cause a blood sugar drop. I currently eat a banana and go back to sleep but I think I should not have blood sugar issues at my age and health status. Has someone experienced this?
A lot of times I wake up an hour or so early but pretty much no bad dreams and blood sugar seems fine.
Have you been tested for sleep apnea?
I used EQ early in this blast (loaded on TRT prior to starting blast) around 400 mg/wk. Low dose I know but I didn’t have anxiety at that level which I’m also prone to. I liked it. When I cut it I made up the difference in Test C. The cycle was better with EQ and lower dose Test. I donate blood every few months.
I have nightmares every single night. I haven’t slept more than an hour or two straight in the past 14 months. I can fall asleep, and fall back asleep after a few minutes but I never get into a restful sleep. My migraine doc gave me trazadone to try. 50mg before bed, sleep great but some sleep paralysis in my limbs for a bit more than I was comfortable with, some lingering tiredness a few hours into the morning. Took 25 mgs instead last night and that seemed to work just as well with less tiredness. I’m going to take 12.5 tonight and see how that works. Trazadone is apparently a less addictive drug than Ambien, I believe it’s off label use of an antidepressant for sleep.
If I were going to give it a run it would be low dose. I would be worried most about anxiety, and secondly I would worry about blood cell production (but my hematocrit is not as bad as Iron_Yuppie’s hematocrit, and I am on a larger dose).
I don’t buy into the whole you need to run at least this dosage of this compound. Just doesn’t make sense to me. Perhaps if you are running only that compound. Of course, taking 50 mg/wk of EQ isn’t going to do much. I just think the guys who say under 600 mg/wk is pointless don’t make much sense. If I stack 400 EQ with 600 Test, and 40 mg/day Tbol, the EQ is going to do some work.

400 mg was enough for me to notice, and notice when I cut it. Zero sides at that dose.
Perhaps I’ll give that a try. Other than the anxiety and hematocrit, EQ is pretty appealing. Like cheap primo.
I definitely need to look out for a positive feedback loop. Combine that with any real or placebo anxiety and I may be a mess.
Yes, I’m a fan of Trazodone. It’s a good antidepressant and anxiolytic/tranquilizer
