View Full Version : Loss of energy and feeling ill when I lift

Im currently on a test/EQ/tren cycle- 7 weeks in and at first I wrote off the feeling lethargic and ill to just my body adjusting to the spike in test and hormone levels- but like I said, 7 weeks in and Im still feeling like **** when I go and lift.
Cardio has never been this tough- I was running 20 minuites 3 times a week and a pretty good intensity- now I struggle to go 10 minuites. I feel out of breath quicker and my endurance has gone to hell.
Today was squats and I felt so damn sick to my stomach...
Im 30 years old, training for 4 years and this is my 2nd cycle. Hovering around 215lbs, probably around 12-15% bf.
My strength has increased quite a bit- my diet is solid and Im suffering in the sleep department care of the tren ( I think ), but this is driving me nuts.
I dont know what other valid information I could lay down- any advice is appreciated.

Sounds like you are running on overdrive. Try and get more sleep or naps. You might even consider taking some melatonin to help you.
You might want to lower your dosages if these symptoms persist.

how much tren are you on? try taking some benadryl and/or melatonin to help you sleep. If that doesnt work back off the dose of tren. Also have you been on the tren for the whole 7 weeks, if so you may want to stop for now. There's probably a reason they only give it to cows the last 7-9 weeks of their lives!! :evillaugh

Thanks for the replies. I HAVE been on 75mg/ED of tren for the last 7 weeks. I took my last shot yesterday, and plan on running equipoise for another 3, sust for another 5.
Funny you should mention melatonin, chris. I took some last night and still had sleep issues- woke up at 3:30 am and couldnt go back to sleep until 6am. The sleep seemed more restful, though.
I know Im not alone in the insomnia and sleep problems while "on"- what works for you guys? Im about to go see the doc for some ambien if this doesnt get better. I feel like a freakin' zombie.

just curious. What kind of gains have you seen with your cycle? I was on a somewhat similar cycle...so just curious. Also...is the tren homebrew or lab?

The tren was homebrew. I had 49ml's and I think the mg/ml ratio was closer to 90ml/ml, the sides for the first week were awful.
I have gained 16 pounds so far. I still have another 5 to go but Im thinking the gains will level off, now. Im estatic with the results. Im harder, wider and more vascular than ever before, and my strength gains are through the roof.
Test/Tren/Eq is a mean summer-time stack!

Lethary can be a common side effect on cycle. AAS can disrupt sleep patterns so while you may be sleeping the same amount of time the quality is lower. Thus leading to daytime fatigue.
This is usually most noticable on tren so your proably just going to have to deal with it.

are you taking any anti-e?

Ive taken nolva a few times during my cycle- when I began having itchy nips and got kinda sick of feeling bloated... but no.
I ran Nolvadex 40mg for about 4 days until signs of gyno went away. And during this time the sleep cycle wasnt improved, and I dont remember the fatigue/lethargy going away either.
Would an anti-E ran longer help? I have alot of nolva on hand and clomid for my PCT. Ive never heard of this but am definitly interested in your reply, doc.
