Cycle (emotional) side effects

Hi,

I've come to the end of my dbol/test cyp/ winny cycle and will be running PCT shortly.

My wife explained that to the end of the cycle I've become short-tempered and extremely emotional. I've become emotionally dependant on her, which is causing problems (and somewhat embarrassing as well)

She's convinced that it's cycle related, and is not worth all these problem

Can anyone relate to this? Is my hormones playing tricks on me?

It is related bud, the same thing happens to me. I think it is due to a few things. Firstly you have been taking test which makes you feel great. You feel good generally, have a great libido, things are all round good. Secondly while you wait for your levels to get back to normal your test levels drop and you struggle to contain your estrogen levels. While your estrogen levels are high, your moods are severely affected.

Also, with me at least, there is a pure mental thing that I am coming off, my libido is down, my body is run down from the hectic training you have just done and its just altogether depressing.
What we forget is how we normally feel as opposed to how we feel on gear, I think that has a lot to do with why guys abuse gear.

I find that I go through a crappy week or two during the bridge, but when I start the PCT, particularly Clomid and then Ovidrel, it sorts itself out. I also find that Ovidrel is MUCH better than Pregnyl in terms of how it make you feel emotionally during PCT.

This is also the reason that I am going to try Test Prop for a part of my bridge which will allow me to maintain Test levels at a more constant rate for part of my bridge as opposed to just winny or Var.

Don't worry, it will pass. Good luck.

Thanks bud.

I think I've really hurt her hence she's asked me not to do another cycle . At the moment, I don't know what to feel. Don't know what is real and what is not.

I would hate to think that I can't do another cycle, and am hoping that my awareness of these effects would allow me to control it in future.

Mfezdro is correct.

I also found myself going through something similar at the end of my cycle and pct. was relying on her for support and very emotional. not depressed just lots of feelings. lol, very strange.

all part of your body trying to normalize hormone levels again. best just ride it out and take a step back and centre yourself.

all the best

i already have quite a short temper as is. im worried about being overly aggressive when i start my 1st cycle. anybody have problems with this?

I can so relate to this. I think what killed us is that it creeped up on me and I was unaware of it. And ended up blaming her for everything.

forget about cycling again. focus on salvaging your relationship with your wife. once things are fully recovered then you can maybe start thinking about other things. talk to her about it but don't force the issue. if she agrees, then try it once more. if the results are the same you have to stay away. I doubt that compromising your marriage is worth a cycle, wouldn't you agree?

This is something that effects me now and then while on cycle. I'm currently on a little six week test and winny cycle and I go through times of intense positivity and also then like yesterday I was emo and low emotion for no apparent reason.

The problem is I can handle it but the problem is when I get confronted on "bab" days then I want to kill the other person.

I also have a short fuse, particularly when dealing with Post Office employees and clinically stupid people, not just someone you call stupid, I mean people you meeet that you could win prizes with. For some reason when I am on gear the ratio of clinically stupid people increases proportionately to the level of gear I'm taking, as does the level of post I need to collect from the PO.

Seriously though I was worried about this and it isn't a problem, but that depends on what you are using. Basic cycles with simple quantities don't seem to create big problems. I can tell you that what happened to Beemer is common, you should expect that. I can also say that towards the end of your cycle you are liable to get irritated and snappy, quicker than you usually would. I wouldn't worry about creating newspaper headlines though. If you are aware of it and manage it, you will be 100's.

@Beemer, Great advice by Heretic bud. You need to manage the issues and get your wife back on board. Next time you will be aware of what to expect.

thanks bud, i suppose you need to take the good with the bad

happened to me on letro.. Yassi I bitched about everything and fought with everyone.

You learn to recognise changes in behaviour and manage them.

Wise words Oom, def an experienced user. The only time I truly lose it is when I do Tren it seems no matter how hard I restrain myself I eventually break once or twice when doing a tren cycle. Sometimes happy, sometimes sad, always angry.

If u don't get affected what does that mean ?? I'm a chilled dude and even on a course I'm chilled and the mrs can't tell the difference when I'm on or off ?? Is there something wrong with me hahahaha

Was going to say don't do tren then
Tren turns me into an emotional wreck esp when running it with bromo-don't get aggressive, but one minute up and the next down-goddam rollercoaster

Winny makes me aggressive for some reason, but tren not?

Wise words for sure

Good luck with making up-flowers and chocolates are always a good start
