Does EQ raise your testosterone levels?

[Demondosage]

Stopped taking EQ 1 week ago, I dropped my test 3 wks ago. I am crashing terribly from the cycle, I'm extremely irritable and generally feel depressed and like shit most of the day. However, I still have a sex drive which surprises me because I was using test prop and quit it 3 wks ago. I'm going to get bloodwork done so I can get a script for test, but need my numbers to show low enough to get one. Being that I still have a little bit of a sex drive, leads me to my question. Will EQ show an elevated test count? And how long to get bloodwork done after EQ to get script? thanks

No. If you obtain TRT based on a TT alone, the doctor is an imbecile, which is not uncommon!

thank you for your response. I need to do something soon, my irritability and depression have caused my wife to basically tell me to find someplace else to live until I can "get right" I'm going to speak to my Dr. tomm and tell him everything that is going on. This feeling is absolutely horrible, I dont feel like doing anything other than laying around. I'm taking some HCG and still taking my GH, but dropped the rest of my gear. I'm to the point that I feel like I need xanax or something just to function without getting pissed off at the world.

you need to go in completely clean of anything for 5wks and get tested with nothing in your system. best be honest and lay the cards out on the table. as far as ive researched, EQ is pretty much useless for anything.

i went in last week for a first trt appointment last week, told the doc i was on self administered trt for 3yrs and told him my AAS history previous to that. he wanted me to wait another 6mths and see how i felt, i told him i'd already attempted to come off with PCT protocols to no avail. he conferred with his superior and his superior deemed my history and description of symptoms warranted putting me on Nebido. they only took blood after they gave me the script.

I spoke to my Dr. this morning and he wants to do a hormone panel next week. By then it will be 1 month off any test, but it was test prop so chances are its out of my system. I'm not going to do anymore HCG shots until after the blood draw. I'm thinking there is a possibility my numbers will show low but not 100% on that. I still have a sex drive which I dont understand really, maybe the HCG? But other than that I'm depressed as hell, lack of energy and motivation, and I'm very edgy. He said they were all signs of low testosterone, but we will see.

Keep us posted I've been in your shoes b4 and have been on TRT for 8 yrs. had very low sperm count from being on gear prior 9 yrs ago and had trouble conceiving. So went to Endocrin doc who told me to stay off everything for a month then put me on clomid and hcg and a month later we were pregnant. But I felt suicidal while off the gear. Get off of the EQ too since that will elevate your test level. Not as much as others but u want to labs to b super low. See an endocrinologist if you internist isn't proactive. There is a huge stigma re: steroid use and my orig doc wouldn't do shit for me made me feel like a criminal. Seemed to b punishing me for using gear. Mind u my T was way down but he could care less. Then when I saw endo he was terrific. An anti depressant like cymbalta or any SSNI. Has affect on norepinephrine which is stimulating and will give you energy/motivation unlike the SSRI which has tendency to make u tired. Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro, and many others are in this class. So besides Cymbalta, Effexor is also what may help. Good luck and keep us posted

Got testosterone check first time and it was 672. I felt like shit but I was crashing hard. Dont think I waited long enough, because 3 wks later I went to a different Dr. friend referred me to, and level was 89!! He says it can come down fast, and I probably just didnt wait long enough. He put me on 200mg/wk test cyp (along with 250iu twice/wk HCG) and told me he would recheck everything in 12 wks. Now I'm just waiting on the damn insurance company to get whatever diagnosis they need from the Dr. so they'll cover me. This has been a real fucking hassle. Getting on HRT is no walk in the park, I'll be glad when the insurance is sorted out and everything starts running smooth.
