Baffled, cypionate stopped working mid-cycle

[question619]

I have a very different situation I need help with. I was prescribed cyp at 400mg bi-weekly for low t . My levels were 586 and 12.1 . Did I really need it? Probably not! Anyways, the pharmacy messed up and gave me 10ml vials so I started a cycle of 200mg twice weekly. After about 6 weeks I began to feel very weak, tired, unmotivated, not making gains, etc. I thought that my estrogen went high so I started arimidex at 1mg eod and nothing, ran it at 1mg Ed and no change. I pinned 200mg on thurs. as scheduled and nothing so I pinned 200 more on fri. and nothing. It's almost as if my body is eating the cyp and I am not benefiting from it. It was great for the first 5-6 weeks of the cycle but now I don't seem to be responding to it. The cyp is sraight from the pharmacy so i know the gear is good. There are no signs of gyno, sore nips or anything! Please help with any ideas!!!!

why not call up your doctor and see what he has to say? i don't know what is going on here, your levels were fantastic, no reason for you to go on HRT and suppress yourself.

i'm as baffled as you are. what kind of doctor was this? and then the pharmacy screws up themselves? you could sue both of them for malpractice.

I have called the dr. and he wants bloodwork to be done. I was hoping for a solution without going into the office. Is it possible that something is binding to the test. rendering it useless?

 

[stevesmi]

^^^ yeah seems like you are getting yourself into a major bind here. the doc is gonna run bloodwork and then screw with your hormones some more. this is a good reason I buy my own stuff and my own bloodwork gets interpreted by me.

why did he put you on test to begin with? and what kind of doctor is this?

i can already tell you what will happen next.. bloodwork will be done.. and he will put you on some other drugs which will further give you sides, then you will be in much more deeper.

 

[question619]

That's what I am afraid of, I am also nervous about having my script for cyp. pulled too. I have kinda felt like I have been going thru pct the past couple weeks if that makes sense.

 

[stevesmi]

could you please answer my questions i asked you above? if anyone is gonna help you than answer them.

1. what kind of doctor is this?
2. why did he say you needed HRT with 500+ test levels?

And 400 mgs a week is a high hrt dose is it not? Something fishy here.

 

[question619]

Sorry wasn't trying to avoid the questions. He is nothing more than my family doctor who is a general practioner. He put me on the test because I went to him because I was tired, depressed, etc. He did not prescribe 400 he prescribed 200 weekly and I upped it due to the surplus the pharmacy inadvertently gave me. Nothing fishy, just got lucky I guess.

Ohhh I may have mis read that. That's makes more sense although your test levels are perfectly healthy in then500 range! I don't really know what to suggest I think most docs are all quacks anyways who will just push pills down your throat. I hate going to the doc and usually self medicate lol.

Does anyone have any thoughts?
