I realize this is an older post, but I wanted to weigh in on the subject. I am a 49 yr old woman who has been using test e for about a year and a half, I started using it because I thought I was losing my mind, I had NO sex drive, I wanted to cry all the time, I was losing muscle and not able to eat much, my anxiety levels were off the charts and I was quickly becoming suicidal. And when I went to my gyno he immediately wanted me on antidepressants, I KNEW it was hormonal. So I refused and found a Dr that would listen to me. He tested my levels and of course they came back low. All my levels were low. Progesterone, Test, Estrogen, DHEA etc.
I researched the crap out of this before I decided to try test, I knew going in that there were the possibility of sides , some good some bad and others tolerable. I am my own guinea pig. So I started with just Progesterone and that helped my anxiety and helped me sleep some, but not with well being or sex drive. He prescribed me some oral Test and it really didn't do a whole lot. I think it worked out to be 5mg a day orally. I got ahold of some Sustanon (Which I do NOT recommend for women) and I injected that but not knowing the right dose or anything, I think I was using 60 mg a week . OMG! I felt awesome. I finally understand what teenage boys go through and I sympathize. My husband was loving it that's for sure. but I started to have sides about the 2nd month, my period stopped, my hair started thinning a bit around my hairline and I got acne on my face and back which I have never had before, my clit got about three times its normal size, which is fine with me and my voice is just a little bit lower. but I felt calm, and happy and had absolutely NO anxiety I gained a cup size in my breasts and I gained muscle. I stopped using Sus at that time and stayed off of it for 3 months and all the sides went away.
Then I decided to try test e, since it leaves the body much quicker, and at a much much lower dose, I'm at 20 mg every other week , I have no acne, my hair is still a bit thinner but honestly that probably would have happened anyway since my moms hair is thinning a bit.
My clit is still enlarged but I think that's likely permanent but I like it. My period has not returned to normal, but its probable that it is almost done for good anyway.
I am currently on a break from using it, I will stay off for at least three months and then I plan to resume. This is the first time in my life that I haven't felt like a crazy person and my sex drive is incredible. I think for me cycling is best, at least until I know for sure that I wont have any more periods. I like to give my body a break and do a liver cleanse. The only thing I would say is that my estrogen will spike when I go off, just like a man's would so I take DIM to keep that under control other wise I will gain another cup size and good lord I don't need that!
Also I would never be mistaken for a dude. I am muscular but I like cake so I am also curvy
