Thread: Steroids--AntiDepressants--Outcome

Yeah I was saying if you want to get on TRT now would be the time to get tested. By your age your test levels are on the decline anyway, and you say test helped with your depression which is pretty common. If you'd like to avoid that though wait until you're recovered to get tested, if you're still on the low end I'd say it will be worth it to you.

being the doctor knows when I took the steroids and when I quit wouldnt he point out that the test will be low for sure and make me wait though?

my balls hurt and I havent had a boner in 17 days

good times

at least Im not crying anymore

what a gong show

Bro maybe I'm missing something but why haven't you tried to get some pct chems? It's very possible you still won't be recovered fully in two months, if ever without it. Not to scare you but you drastically increase your odds of never coming back to normal without a pct, even if it has been longer than you should've waited.

im not mixing anythng with my antidepressants ever again
I feel a thousand times better than 2 weeks ago
3 doctors said I will return to normal
I feel confident I will be normal soon, just based on my progress over the last few days

oh note--I actually asked the guy who I got the cyp from if I should take nolvadex and he said no---said it will clear my system soon and I will be good

I've heard numerous times from doctors that you will always return to normal eventually, but ask around and you will see that's not always true. I've never seen any evidence that clomid/nolva will interact with antidepressants but I would research the subject. Especially the older you get the harder it gets for your body to bounce back. And there are numerous people who have stayed on for a long time and even after a long time off they still had below normal test levels. Just looking out for your safety bro, having low test is not something you want to live with and I would do everything possible to avoid it, even TRT if you decide to go that route.

the one piece of advice from you I am following is my levels checked in 6 weeks. If I require trt after they are checked then that is the route I will go. Until then I am just going to see if I return to normal and keep track of how I am doing.

Im going this route because 2 weeks ago I was suicidal depression crying no appetite every symptom possible and today I am functioning in society just fine, have my appetite back and only seem to get a little sad when I let my own mind spin the wrong thoughts. I think my brain is my worst enemy at this point

That's understandable, if you feel ok now and are willing to do trt if it's necessary then I see no problem with it. I'm happy to hear your situation is improving though and I wish you the best

thanks
you have been an amazing help
2 weeks ago I was convinced I was going to die
now I just have some general sadness here and there

tough road but gotta keep at it

the hardest thing was convincing myself my medication was still working and it was low test levels causing the depression

Depression sucks that's for sure man, I've dealt with it since early teens and what meds I've tried didn't really help. Effexor made me a bit better after a few months, but during that adjustment period I literally puked everytime I took the pill, and I felt totally whacked out of my skull like I was on some kind of psychedelic and stimulants at the same time. I still didn't feel good and it wasn't worth the side effects so I stopped. Wellbutrin was slow and gradual but I did kind of feel better for a few months and then it stopped working. Test seems to be the only thing that does it for me without making me totally weird and killing my sex drive, so making the decision to cruise was easy for me. Keep your head up bro, you're through the really tough part and worst comes to worst TRT might be an improvement from where you were even before the cycle.

if this is inappropriate please delete it
but its kind of a big deal considering the last 17 days

I was able to "get it up" and crack one off
The way I was feeling I thought that would enver be a possibility again
that has to be a good sign

again, sorry if inappropriate, just thought it was a good sign considering side effects

nah bro I've heard much worse around here, anyone reading this should be an adult anyway

here's a test though, if this doesn't do anything for you then you should start worrying lol
