PC1
Guest
I concluded an 8 week transdermal of 1-test and 4-AD back near the end of January. Rather than focusing on my results which were good, I'd like to pass along some PCT thoughts as I'm now right in the middle of that phase.
PCT is consisting of:
A. 40mg of Nolva - weeks 1-2, and 20mg weeks 3-4:
B. HCG, 3000 iu's day 1; 3000 iu's day 6 ; 1500 iu's day 11 ; 1500 iu's day 16.
C. 7-keto, tablet form 300mg a day.
D. 5-HTP, tablet form 200-300 mg a day.
E. Creatine.
1. What a DIFFERENCE the HCG makes in terms of how I feel! Much MUCH better. I hadn't used HCG since my AS days back in the mid 80's. Initially there was no PCT then, then HCG came into vogue. So I've never used it in conjunction with Nolva. I actually feel better on HCG than I did during the PH cycle. I have no doubts now that I was shut down pretty hard compared with other PH cycles, and this has been a godsend. Really great for one's love life, also
2. I've never had problems with roid rage, over aggression, etc. But on 40 mg a day of Nolva, I am a TRULY WRETCHED BITCH. I normally am a laid back type "B" personality. The 1 scuffle I ever had with the great Mods here on am.com occurred during a PCT, and I was frankly, an emotional woman. I can only say that when I'm on the stuff, my mood is FOUL. Either depressed, REALLY PISSED or both at once. I can't stand being around myself even, it's awful. And even though I know it's the Nolva causing it, it doesn't help knowing that. I've never screamed at my kids the way I have with PCT, my wife can't even stand me. BUT The 5-HTP has really helped me a LOT this time. I initially bought some back on my last transdermal to try to counter the 1-test lethargy, which it did not. BUT after my 5th day of Nolva this time, and increasing wretchedness, I thought I'd give it a try. I took too much at first because while it mellowed me out, it also made me too sleepy and a bit lazy. But at the dosage indicated above, it works really REALLY well for me. And if anyone else becomes a homicidal/suicidal maniac PCT, I'd highly encourage you give it a try.
3. I'm all done with 1-test products, period. While it may be decently anabolic, the combination of the Lethargy that comes with it, and the nose dive one's Lipid Profile suffers (Supersoldier's Thread) is just not worth it. In the future, if I am going to continue with Androgens, I'll either pin 4-AD or just cypionate itself. I'm not sure I want to cross the line with class 3 yet so......
4. So far, my bodyweight and strength are holding their peak at 18 days PCT now. I believe the HCG is largely responsible, but I'm also hoping Bobo's advice about controlling cortisol by taking 7-keto (he actually advocated Avant's FL7 product) is also contributing. Time will tell.
Good luck, Be Well
