It's definitely not that for me. I take 1mg of adex m w f on 1200 mgs of test and bloodwork confirms my estro is in the range I want it
But he's only taking 600mg test.
The worst I have ever felt... is when I crashed my estro badly... and I've done it a few times in all my years of AAS use. The worst time was under the guidance of an endocrinologist who was trying to restart my HPTA by suppressing estrogen with 1mg Adex daily. It took me WEEKS to recover and feel normal after I stopped this madness.
Tren can make me irritable, short fused, cocky etc.
EQ anxious, paranoid, weird feeling, sketchy, moody.
Deca in high amounts lazy, apathetic, oily, mildly depressed.
High estro equals MOODY, bitchy & depressed, hot, red, bloat, blood pressure, 'sighing' regularly to catch breath.
LOW estro is a more humble, empty-feeling kind of depressed where you are much more likely to cry at a movie. Take it really low and you get a horrible sense of anxiety/disassociation.
In my experience yes obviously running 2 grams of EQ or a gram of Tren is gonna fuck up your mood... but MOST mood issues with sane doses of AAS come from mis-management of estrogen.
And before all the "you can't tell from side effects, you need to get blood work" parrots chime in.... some of us can't get blood work from week to week, where I live that's far too expensive. I can tell EASILY if my estro is to high or low from sides... and you should be able to also if you pay attention and closely listen to your body.
