Around 3 weeks ago I started a trest cycle. My plan was to run it solo, as from everything I heard is a test base and I wanted to avoid hairloss. My idea was to start slow at 1mg/day and to tilterate up. The first days, before I got supressed, the mental effects were amazing, though the physical ones were very strange and a bit rough. It felt like a mild stimulant to me, (I have adhd and take stims from time to time and I know how they feel) my bp was pretty high, and I got full and strong extremely fast.
This subsided after a couple of days, and while I still felt good it wasnt as euphoric. I slowly increased the dose. As I got supressed though I started feeling lethargy, and more and more apathetic. This could have been either lack of dht or lack of estrogen, but I crashed my dht in the past with dut and fin and this felt different, and I had symptons like dry skin and my joints were hurting, and honestly this was worse than my worst days on fin.
Anyway, long story short I went back to test, I had to start taking dut too to avoid dht hairloss. A week later it felt like the e2 issue was resolved. I frontloaded a high amount of test + I am supplementing 100mg pregnenolone. The almost suicidal mindset os over.
But mentally I still feel anhedonia, fatigue, and lack of strength in the gym. This is not subtle either, the difference in strength is pretty big. I am completely lean, my bp is lower than natty, I am getting no extra hunger whatsoever and the glands on my nipples are smaller than natty. In fact if it wasnt for the recomp that is clearly happening trest would be doing nothing to me.
I stopped trest for 3 days because I got sick. On the 4th day I was planning to go back to it. That day I took concerta, and a couple of hours later I injected trest. I felt amazing that entire day, and my strenght on the gym was really good even after the concerta crash. The next morning my mood was also excellent right until my next trest dose. 50mg. One hour after, everything comes back, the insane fatigue (my eyes even look tired), anhedonia, etc. Reminds me a bit glp1 agonists.
I agree that this sounds really strange. Ofc my mind went to the lack of dht was the issue here, but then, why would the symptoms get worse when I inject trest, and slowly improve until it leaves my system?
So now my theory is prolactin. But is it even possible to have high prolactin without high e2 or nipple sensitivity? This would square with me feeling good the day I took concerta + ment.
Anyway I know my next steps here, but I was just wondering if anyone had this reaction to ment. I keep reading about people exploding in strenght bloat and bp at 10mg. In the meantime here I am taking 50mg a day and the only positive thing I can report is an obvious and fast recomp.
