I have had many questions about PCT (Post Cycle Therapy). Here is an excellent thread on the subject.
Basic PCT doses and duration. - By Lawnsaver
The first thing that needs attention is the testicle. HCG is needed to prevent testicular atrophy. 300-500ius every 4-5 days throughout a cycle will do the trick. IF you have waited until the end to fix the problem, take 500ius ED for the last 14-21 days of your cycle. After the testicles are taken care of we can work on restarting the HPTA. Here are a few ways in which you can address the problem.
SERMs have been documented in studies, personal experience, and real world feed back to aid in restarting the HPTA
NOTE: SERMs will not work on all, so I will try and give alternatives later in the thread.
Basic Clomid PCT:
Day 1: 300mg
Day 2 to 10: 100mg ED
Day 11 to 21: 50mg ED
Basic Nolvadex PCT:
Days 1 to 14: 40mg ED
Days 15 to 30: 20mg ED
I feel that a combo of the 2 are not needed. If the sides of Clomid are to much, use Nolvadex.
There are a few supplements I would use also to help with the lowered libido, increased SHBGs, and raised liver values
- MACA should help increase you libido
- Avena Sativa should lower SHBGs and increase free test.
- r-ALA will help repair any damage to the liver and help with glucose disposal.
There is also an alternative PCT that I personally dont recomend, but has worked for others.
Using the Herbal supplementations along with Proviron will help decrease the possible crash and increase libido. If you are one who recovers better than most, this way might be better. Although proviron can be suppressive, some can recover while using it. The HPTA will recover from time alone, so this PCT will take care of the crash symtoms and help get you though untill your HPTA recovers on it own.
NOTE: Using any of the above PCTs will not guarantee recovery. It is only a guide line to help. Everyone is different and you will need to find the best PCT to help you recover.
The only way to find out if you have truely recovered is blood work, so make sure you get the test done to find out whether the PCT you chose worked for you.
I hope this helps.
Also, please dont make this a debate...take what you want from the thread and find out what works for you!
