If I look at most texts it is described that the severity of suppression is duration and dose dependant, meaning that the higher doses result in more severe suppression and enduring hypogonadism lasting "up to 2 years" in reported cases, however it is unclear how often and if it is actually possible to result in permanent suppression. Also 19-nor steroids have been accreddited as being very severe in their effect on the hpta.
The point where I read differing opinions is that when in fortunate cases recovery occurs smoothily whether testosterone levels will ever reach the same baseline again, or that they just reach a number at which the person can function normally (the numbers are within range as opposed to hypogonadal). Certain texts such as from "the Handbook of Substance Abuse: Neurobehavioral Pharmacology" from Ralph E. Tarter seem to indicate that baseline can definentally be reached: :"in most cases the serum hormones will soon return to normal."
But when they say "normal" I question whether they actually mean the baseline of testosterone or that they reach a comfortable level but there is a drop-off from the last cycle?
I might be naive to think that there will not be adverse effects from cycling but wouldnt it be possible to recover 100% without any remaining permanent damage from a single cycle?
Thanks in advance board for the info.
