I do have depression and anxiety, as does my partner. I stopped the MK before stopping the other stuff. I felt like the MK was actually helping me have less anxiety and didn't seem to affect me in any other way.
When you add hormones into a combination of anxiety and depression, you can absolutely have unwanted and unpleasant side effects. I too suffer from both those ailments and I'm doing my own version of TRT with 250mg of Sustanon and 300mg of Deca every 2 weeks. Testosterone has been shown in some studies to help alleviate the symptoms of depression if you're naturally low in it, and deca is nandrolone, which is a hormone your body makes naturally, so I feel it's a more 'natural' hormone stack that doesn't have a lot of exotic hormones that work on all sorts of different receptors and are doing all sorts of other things in the body.
That's one reason I commented that your cycle was a bit exotic with Primo and Anavar and HGH you're going to have a lot of other stuff going on not only on the androgen receptors in your skeletal muscle tissue, but they can also effect your mental state possibly in a positive or negative state depending on a lot of different factors.
I meant 400iu of HCG. Should I drop that to 200iu/wk? I welcome any and all input! That's what we are here for, right?
Last time I checked, 200iu of HCG was the recommended dosage (or maybe it was even 150iu) to use to keep your HPTA axis up while you're on a cycle. But with all the compounds you're taking together, it's hard to say if hCG is really going to work to keep your natural testosterone production going on. Probably only a blood test in the middle of the cycle, specifically checking for LH would let you know if it's working as intended.
My goal is to cut fat and keep the muscle I've got. Maybe add some, but I'm not trying to be greedy.
I would ideally work on losing fat or gaining muscle, not trying to do both at the same time. Your cycle would be perfect for very lean gains without a lot of bloat, although the 500mg per week of testosterone is going to add that to you too. That's not necessarily a bad thing, some estrogen is very good for you, not only for it's physique enhancing properties, but for your brain as well, as a balance of estrogen and DHT seems to work best for people that might be sensitive to negative mental sides from steroids. So, you've kind of got the lean gains from the DHT based steroids like var and primo, but you're still going to get the bloat from the test e.
She will be taking Clen in the two off weeks. I guess I should have mentioned that she also takes Adderall and Ambien.
Didn't you post this before asking about this or was that another person? Adderall and Ambien is like a 1950s style combination that all the Hollywood starlets would take. Adderall to keep them up, then a sedative at night to knock them out. That seems like a bit of a reckless prescription combo on you Dr's part, but hey, I wish my doc would prescribe me Adderall and Ambien.
But, having said that, I would absolutely
not recommend taking Clen in addition to Adderall. That combo would cause her BP to go through the roof and potentially be very dangerous. Clen is a pretty potent stimulant and lasts up to 34 hours in the body, and taking amphetamines in addition to that is a very bad idea. I assume she's taking Adderall XR? If so, that's also meant to be an 8-12 hour drug and the L and D isomers of amphetamine in Adderall are long lasting on their own. The amphetamines are very catabolic drugs and although they can cause a person to lose a lot of fat rapidly, they also cause a lot of muscle wasting. I remember when I was in college and I was discussing AAS usage with people, they would have to decide whether or not they wanted to take the Adderall and have the muscle wasting, or stop using it and take AAS for growth. Even when you get completely adapted mentally to the Adderall, it is still going to cause muscle wasting all the time. I might ask the doc to switch her to something like Vyvanese.
I would definitely take those things into consideration before you start your cycle. Are you or her taking any other drugs like SSRIs or other stimulants, sleep aids, sedatives, etc?
