Post Cycle Depression

[bdp]

Im dealing with post cycle depression. I am 4 weeks post and I came off properly, HCG every 5 days throughout the cycle up to 2 weeks post. Clomid theripy post, but now I find myself very depressed. Im 25 and have a few cycles under my belt, and after every cycle I tend to go through this, Im not sure if its worse this time or because its been a while since my last cycle. Im tired, un-motivated, and down (would rather be sleeping). How do I fight this?? Ive done zoloft and paxil before, but now I dont have any insurance so anit-depresents may be out of the question. How do I battle this, how do you guys cope with this?

BTW the cycle was winny/prop/eq and saw excellent gains, went from 22% bf to 12% while gaining 5lbs of lean body mass in 10 weeks.

I appreciate any feed back. Thanks -J

an herb called rhodiola (sp) seems to work very well for a lot of people

I would stay away from the clomid and try nolva

 

[MikeS]

I agree, the clomid may be the culprit. Lower or stop the doseage and see what happens, add nolv (not as good as clomid for PCT, but will work).

this only happens after every cycle? how long does it usually last?

Wimp!!! its takes at least a golden retreiver in a commercial to make me weepy! Thats funny Pickles...I LOL

Actually clomid is OK with me. I use it during cycle too.
I do get relief from the constant pokes when off also.
And I kinda dont look forward to going back to that routine,
but damn I really look forward to the physical and performance changes.

I notice the depression as I start to come down off a cycle then the depression can last a month -2 months after. For those of you who say tough it out its easier said then done. Keep in mind Im not huddled in a corner holding my stuffed animal crying, Its more of a state of mind where I feel down, unmotivated, decreased sex drive, MOSTLY tired, its hard for me to get pumps in the gym and stay consistant. Im currently 6'2" 230 at 11% BF 25yo. I will try that herb, Ive used zoloft before but fuck why have a cock and balls if your gonna take that stuff, you cant use them! Paxil never seemed to do anything.

I find it wierd that not more of us experiences this?


THe only thing I can really think about is starting another cycle, I feel more energetic while on it. I see results, get pumps, fuck 3-4 times a day

FYI: Ive been off the clomid for a 1 1/2 weeks now
Im just looking for some feed back, how those of you who experience this deal with it, what you might take to counter this and so on, I appreciate all your advice. Thanks -J

so basically you're saying you're just draggin ass? get some ephedrine or clen and jumpstart yourself, I would go with the clen cuz it makes me so jittery I HAFTA do something, I can't just sit around

just a thought

 

[JETHRO TULL]

I ONLY HAVE DONE CLOMID ONCE......THE SHIT MAKES ME FEEL BAD.

I KEPT ON THINKING STUPID CRAP LIKE...."HOW MANY SUMMERS DO I HAVE LEFT IN MY LIFE?" I WAS SAD ....AND I AM RARELY DOWN. I HAVE A BUNCH OF IT IN A JUG....I GUESS I'D RATHER JUST HAVE SMALL TESTICLES THAN FEEL LIKE A SAD LITTLE BOY! THAT'S HOW I FELT. NO TROUBLES WITH NOLVADEX.

I JUST RECENTLY TOOK A BREAK.....9WEEKS AND HAD NO DEPRESSION...NO CLOMID.

 

[jerrywear]

i love clomid,i used it i will use it.
but i have a friend,and hes a good lifter.bet everytime hes coming off the gear,hes going nuts,its more like WHY or WHEN question game.its like dude did you ever .... ok so you did.....so why are you asking me that for.
so people just going to be that way,if its even 10 time he was on.
i think ist normal for some people to be that way.i never had something like that,but i do understand how they feel.
i hope you going to feel better soon buddy.its all in your mind.

 

[feelnfit]

also try b-complex . we give it to the depress patients recovering from achol or druggs. it helps with energy plus helps reestablish chemicals in your brain. makes you think better and a sense of well being. but nly take in a complexx. too many b,s by them self can be toxic.

 

[Mr Pickles]

vit. b injects and ECA sounds like they could help some



if it makes you feel any better... i watched a special on Animal Planet today.. it was about orphaned baby ortangutangs.... i was crying my ass off at the end... to the point where i'm thinking "WTF is my problem" hahahahaha

i dont remember it being this bad last cycle

 

[Got Juice]

pickles i should of known by the avatar your a monkey lover.. haha

did you picture your little monkey riding on his motorcycle looking for his mom, only to find out he was abandoned? lol

seriously, i havent had a bad expreience coming off since i stopped taking clomid. that really did mess with me a bit. i remember i cried for almost no reason at all once while i was on that shit. no more clomid for me!!!!
