Having a rough PCT.. really down and emotional

[fray5]

This is my first post, but I follow these boards constantly. So, I first want to say I appreciate everyone on here.

I'm 26 years old and have ran several cycles previous to this in which PCT and recovery went well. However, I have some things going on in my life and with my job that are making this one really tough. I'm about 9 days in on clomid/nolva and it's like I can't control my emotions/thoughts and I feel like crying all the time. Then there are times I feel just fine. I only did an 8 wk cycle of prop/tbol, but my testicles still aren't quite back to size and they're aching (I hope from where they're starting to produce again). On top of my job, I have this beautiful girlfriend who I worry I could lose during the recovery process. My libido is low and I keep worrying that when it's time to perform maybe something won't work. And then, all this stress feels like it's making it hard to maintain my gains as I've lost a few lbs already. The one good thing tho is that my strength is still up and I'm really cut. I understand I'm complaining a lot right now but I gotta let it out. Maybe if some of you all can shed some light on the situation, it'll help.

Sorry bro, but there's nothing to say besides COMING OFF SUCKS. Just make sure you tell yourself it's just your hormones rebalancing themselves and there's nothing exterior in your life making you feel this way.

Yeah, that's how I'm beginning to see it that with every new cycle, recovery will be more difficult. It's just that this time around some outside factors are making things a lot harder. Also, I've never had a serious relationship during a pct and I think that's adding a lot of stress too. I'm hoping that things improve over this next week. I usually take at least 3-4 months off anyways but I think I'll take at least 6 following this one.

There's the saying "move a muscle, change a thought". In other words, keep active, if you're home and have the blues, go do something, ESPECIALLY go help others. Best way to get out of the funk is to 'get out of your own head', and helping others is the best way i've found to do that.

it sounds like your experiencing estro re-bound and estrogen levels are too high--yet the clomid and nolva you're taking during pct should be controling estro levels...sooo??

if you can manage it-blood work would help in identifying your problem.

dudeee.. i feel you man.. this is the shittiest part of juice with a girlfriend.. ill tell you right now the clomid is fucking your head up making you an emotional rollercoaster. give it time man if youve been with this girl explain to her that it will get better and if she loves you she will wait thru it. until then make friends with cialis and fuck her hard :headbang:

I only have 2 days of my 4 wk nolva/clomid pct left right now. I've added a low-dose of aromasin these last few days in case of estro rebound. I was thinking of continuing the clomid and aromasin at a low dose for another week or two but I'm still feeling really emotional at times. Would this help or should I just discontinue everything after this 4 wks is up?

Thanks for your reply bro. I've been making good friends with cialis and viagra. It's just really a downer I'm almost finished with pct and still feeling so emotional. I feel my libido is down still but I'm thinking this may also be from the anxiety of me worrying. Do you think this will stop when I discontinue the clomid. This is by far the worst pct I've been through!

I agree. The clomid made me very emotional. I remember watching A.I. one night and was in tears because the little robot kid lost his Mommy. Other movies to stay away from are "The Champ" with Jon Voight and Ricky Schroeder, Million Dollar Baby, and Passion of the Christ. Those are the sad ones. Then there are the "I'm so happy for them" tear jerkers. Chances Are and The King's Speech. Anyway, life problems are much worse on PCT. I think that's why so many have resigned to the fact that they will be on TRT the rest of their life.

Haha thanks for the suggestions on what movies to avoid! Do you remember coming off the clomid and if/when your emotional sides went away? I hear what you're saying about TRT but I'm just in my mid-twenties and I'm wanting a family someday. After that, I'd def consider it though and see it happening.

Yes, the emotional sides ceased once I stopped using Clomid. A matter of fact, I disliked Clomid so much, I haven't touched it since. Nolva and HCG should be your protocol if you get too emotional w/ Clomid.

Coming off BLOWS. Especially after a long, intense cyle. I ran 1000mg of test for about 4 months, with some orals thrown in, and almost a year later and I am still recovering. Makes me want to either never touch the shit again, but I literally had the best time of my life when I was on, so it makes we want to do it again, but just never come off..... catch 22. Its been bad though, emotionally down in the dumps. Covered in acne. Stopped working out at all cause you feel like whats the point? Cant even get a pump anymore, it was so effortless before and now I am busting my ass for none of the results. Just know this time will pass and keep it moving brother. Talk to ppl when you can, it hels to get it out.
