I'm on the same dosage. Have been for about 4 months. No depression at all, its about the greatest thing ever. If you have anxiety symptoms also, they should calm down a bit. a little bit of dry mouth and sensitivity to light accompanied it for about 2 weeks. IP: Logged |

When you come off a cycle, watch it for depression even though you are on the meds. Just taper really slow or twice as long as usual. No bad side effects except after a couple years you MAY have to up the dose or change meds. That is what has happened to me and I am now up to 20 mg a day. I take it in the morning after work out since when I took it at night it was harder than hell to get out of bed in the morning. Been told that the meds actually help the AS but no clinical stuff to back it up. If you use the ECA stack it makes you feel great and can be hard to get off of.
