I've been using 400mg Test Enath for a few weeks. Strength is up and all that so I know it isn't bunk gear BUT my sex drive is way down. I'm just not in the mood and haven't been for 2 weeks now. What the hell is that about? I've never had a sex drive issue before so this concerns me.

Re: What is going on?
How long you been on. Sometimes your SHBG will rise with exogenous test use. SHBG attaches to the "binds" to free test making it pretty much useless until metabolized and it never gets to exert itself on the androgen receptor (AR). Then there is down regulation of androgen receptors when using even moderate doses of test over time. The body senses it has very high test and slows production, hence your testes shrink. This state CAN reduce sensitivity of the AR in the body. Hormones are really complicated.
Are you using any anti Es? Strong stuff like aroma will kill sex drive.
Try coming off 8 weeks. Do a standard PCT with nolva then go back on.
Also there are supps to help with SHBG. Supplement with Boron, magnesium, Stinging nettle extract, avena sativa, and D3. The first 2 are minerals most folk are deficient in. The next two are herbs that have compounds with an affinity for SHBG, they bind to it leaving more free test in theory. Last is D3 which is a vitamin over 75% of people in the USA are deficient in.
Try this and let us know how you feel.

Re: What is going on?
ive been on long time, i came off a few years back and my levels crashed. I am suppose to be between 400-900 and mine were 23. So doc put me on 300mg twice a month, it helped some but i didnt like the twice a month shot as it didn keep me at a steady level. So i did 200mg a week and all was great. but then my sex drive dropped even at 400mg a week. I just started D3 again so im hoping that was it. im taking 4000iu of D3 a day. I will add boron and some sea salt for the magnesium and try that. im just hoping its a mineral thing and not a hormone thing.
