I have a pretty weird story. Maybe someone knows what is going on.
I know that even rHGH affects the HPTA axis, but it shouldn't be like this.
I was on a generic rHGH for more than 6 months that I bought from the famous Cat from this forum. I worked my way up from just 1 IU in the first month to 2-4 IU per day before workouts. I have not used any other PEDs (except Cardarine, also from the Cat on this forum and some peptide few years ago that felt good at that time).
The first 2 months were good; I even felt slightly stronger and noticed I could recover faster. But after that, nothing. During the last 2 months, I felt much weaker than ever before. Finally, I stopped (because I thought maybe the bottles were expiring or something).
But right after I stopped (I've been off for 2 months now), it went downhill. I have never felt so depressed in my life. I thought my testosterone had tanked and maybe I got something else in those bottles (the source was trusted, though). I checked LH and testosterone, and they seem okay. They are lower than they used to be (500 ng/dL) but not tanked close to zero or anything. This week, the T should be higher because I have daily boners when waking up (so it must be around 600 ng/dL or so). But the depression never went away.
What could it be? Is it just a coincidence? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
P.S I took 2 weeks off from the gym, thinking it was overtraining because my strength had drastically decreased and every training session felt bad. I had zero motivation. But the break did not help.
