Off cycle depresion

I have just started to do my PCT this week and I must admit, since last week I really started to feel kak. I mean not health wise.

I know I have a couple of problems that I am working through (don’t we all??). I had a major negative life changing event in February this year and am facing another possible one (not so negative) within the next couple of months.

Up till now I have handled these problems relatively positive. I am by nature a positive person but lately everything seems to be doom and gloom. I don’t even have the drive in the gym anymore. I still push myself to get my workouts done and I have all my meals etc. It’s just everything seems to be such a drag and I am not in the mood for anything. I really hate feeling like this, it is not like me but I just can’t help it.

Any tips for this post cycle depression?

Sorry, only realized now, this should probably have been posted in the general section. I posted without checking what section was selected.

Get some 5HTP and take 2 in the morning, by day 3 you should be feeling quite a bit better. What is your PCT looking like, and i'll explain why after your outline it to me.

Sometimes people start their pct too early and then the pct drugs are rendered ineffective, because there is still too much circulating exogenous hormone.

Once the system is clear of them, you are left with low test, which might be the reason you feel like you do...

Also, when was the last time you took a proper break? It does play a very big part in your attitude and mood. I find when I start slumping into that sort of state I can generally tie it in to just driving myself to hard and too long. Combined with other pressures everything can build up and all of a sudden just slot you.

Thanks for the replies guys,

@pump, what is 5HTP? can you get it over the counter? I will do some research.

my cycle and PCT:

Cycle:
Testocyp - 250mg every 4 days week 1 - 11
Dianabol - 40mg/day week 1 - 4

PCT (28 days after last shot of test):
Clomed - 2 x 50mg/day Week 17 (7days)
Nolva - 20mg/day Week 18 - 21
HCG - 500iu every 2 days week 17 - 19

I only started with my PCT this week.

@Chapel, this is only my second cycle and the time between the two was more than a year apart. You are right, I think it is a combination of personal things aswell

5HTP is a natural seratonin enhancer. Yes it is over the counter, no script required.

AvR just what I thought, it is impossible to be certain without bloods, but I find that HCG without using Aromasin causes depression (I find this in myself), Ovidrel + hCG does cause mood swings, and I find when using aromasin I don't notice these type of effects.

I am starting to get to the point that I find it imperative to include aromasin in all PCT protocols containing hCG or sythetic hCG, the reason for this is that I find the increase in estrogen caused by the hCG renders the PCT incomplete, PCT (Nolva / Clomid / Letro / Aromasin / Adex) works by sending a signal that estrogen is to low so increase testosterone, now with estrogen being risen by hCG I find that this is counter productive.

Try 5HTP + try using animal stack to increase natural test levels.

Thanks pump, I will give it a go.
