Here's the thread I think you were referring to:

I started it as mentioned in the thread because I have persistent AAS induced low testosterone even though my last cycle was 12 years ago in 2005. (Most recent test levels were 369 ng/dl and have persistent ED, fatigue, low mood, anxiety, soft muscle look etc.)
I actually went to see my urologist yesterday and we are going to try clomid at 25mg/day x 6 weeks. It's day 2 on clomid and I can already feel my fatigue is a little better and energy/mood feels more stable.
I am also wondering if I should not just forget the half measures that never work (herbs) or aren't sustainable long term (clomid) and just go on TRT.
Personally, I did not recover fully from AAS use, even with months of clomid use in 2010/11/12 and a bunch of test boosting supps, good sleep, organic foods, 12% bodyfat, etc. That thread has some studies showing a large % of former AAS users have T levels in the lower 20% or otherwise suppressed.
I think whether you recover or not probably depends on a lot of factors like genetics, dose/duration, PCT (maybe), but it seems that having low natural test after AAS use is fairly prevalent.
