Why Do I Feel Terrible on Cycle?

Hi guys - hear me out here…

Why do I feel terrible, mentally, on cycle? Now I am not naive enough to assume there would be no negative side effects during a cycle, for example my libido takes a huge hit and my penis serves no function than purely urination, but specifically noticable is my mental state.

When switching from TRT to say 500mg Test, 400-600mg Primo (purely for short term gym performance) within 2 weeks I feel dreadful. Very low mood, low interest in anything (even have to drag myself through workouts). It happened last time I tried and cycle and is happening again. Why is this?

Why do some guys feel like superman on cycle physically and mentally, and I feel like I am borderline depressive?

May be a stupid question but just curious as to what is going on?

Thanks all

Probably high estrogen. 99%
Blood work needed.

You are taking some AI?

High E2 would be enough to make me feel this bad huh? No AI just 500 Test and 400 primo

What your bloodwork say? We cant do bloodwork for you. You will have to put some effort in also and only then this topic can start to make some sense.

Yeah, I get that. Thanks. I know I dont have bloodwork yet, as I am only 2 weeks in, is it too early to get bloods done? I was going to wait until weeks 4-6 to let things stabilise but if a test now would give an accurate picture I will do?

Feel like blood work would answer this

Because you are CRUSHING your estrogen with that dose of primo.

That is why.

Drop the primo or reduce to 100mg, u will feel better quickly, then SLOWLY up the dosage of primo to maybe 200-300.
