post cycle rages....

[vabeefcake]

Hey guys, any one got any suggestions for post cycle rage? Im starting week 2 of my clomid therapy and Im not sure if that has anything to do with it or not, but Im having mood swings like a bitch and since Im somewhat short tempered to begin with Im not impressing myself..lol. I have a ton of stress in my life right now w/ work / kids and most important possible life threatening disease with my wife ( this adds the most obviously). Lately ive been using the gym as my sanctuary and taking the emotions out there. Any suggestions?

peace

sorry to hear about your wife bro. the clomid will definately make you feel like a depressed woman going through menopause, the stuff is rough on some people. you just have to control the mood swings, if it gets to be to much, just drop the clomid.

to much stress+clomid+low test levels(post cycle)= a miserable VABEEFCAKE

My best advice would be to just keep it at the gym bro. Or get yourself a punching bag and release it there.

Other than that, listen to bigdude. He knows his **** .

You could try adding some arimidex and cut your clomid dose in half...this may help a bit. However with the stress you are under I suspect that is more the problem.

thanx guys:)..Im gonna run the clomid for a few more days and see if i can monitor myself a lil more..if it wasnt for that damn deca..I shoulda listend to tadger..lol
you guys rock

if you find that clomid is to harsh on your mood then you can substitue nolvadex for it as it has very similar qualities for post cycle recovery.

I don't know enough about postcycle therapy to say, but I've done this in the past when I've got stressed out and am in a terrible mood. I'm normally a nonconfrontational guy and I feel awful about snapping at people when I'm feeling crappy. I would write messages to myself one the backs of my hands so I would be looking at them the whole day- something like "calm down" or anything that would remind me that me feeling all aggressive and snappy is just a temporary thing.

i have never done this, but it has become really popular as of late, and from all i have read, it works just as good as clomid, and its cheaper. i am sure someone else here can add a little more to this, as i think its a viable option.

Indeed. Hindsight is always 20/20. ;)

heh heh. Seriously though, you may want to cut the dosage back on that clomid. That stuff gets me pretty badly as well. I get moody, depressed, and well... it gets rough sometimes. Heh heh. I did pretty well last time... exemestane and arimidex all the way through recovery with only 50mg clomid EOD for 2 weeks. I liked that alot better, recovered right quick (it was only a really light test cycle, so recovery should havebeen a snap either way) but yeah... no problems, not nearly as moody, very little acne too.

run a ****load of tribex-500 and u might want to try an alternative to clomid (nolva,etc.)

by the way ill let u guys in on my new nonclomid postcycle recovery plan in a few weeks when i have a grasp on its efficacy.

o by the way, the tribex seems to make my postcycle a lot easier when run in high doses

[vabeefcake]

thanx for all the words..you all rock:) Mood swings are getting more in control lately, ive lowered my doses and have actually supplemented w/ the tribex since i had some here. I think that 90% is just stress and sleep deprivation and im trying to work on both , realizing that life dont suck, just a few situations. My best friend (wifey) is sick and i cant DO anything, but we now have specialists lined up so thjings look brighter.
Anyways the reason i wanna get things together is like ST says you should have a plan together, and my plan was to start another 12 week cycle before the weather gets too warm here and i hafta stop wearing baggy clothes. My last cycle gave me 20 lbs on the scales, but dropped b/f by about 3-4 points. Im still holding well at 215 around 12% but my goal was to be at 240 and fairly cut by end of june. Im planning a d-bol/ test enan. for sure, but im making sure whatever i use at the end will respond well to the esters and me as well.
Again, thanx for all, i know i dont post much, but you guys really are the **** and im glad your here:)
