Don't mistake the hubris in these communities for factually correct knowledge. These communities tend to cherry-pick whichever research provides the answers they want to hear, while dismissing everything that disagrees.
I know an endocrinologist who sees a lot of men in their 30s and 40s who never fully recovered from even short anabolic steroid cycles. The online communities tend to promote the idea that the suppressive effects of anabolic steroids can be reversed with "post cycle therapy", but the reality is that a lot of men never fully recover natural production regardless of which combination of medications they use after the steroids.
- femiagbabiaka 6y agoI'm sympathetic to people willing to do research with their own endocrine systems -- after all if doctors refuse to research or support you then what can you do? But agreed, there's a lot of FUD and tribal knowledge out there, for example, PCT as you've said. There are folks who have had good experiences post-PCT but it is difficult to distinguish what happened naturally vs. any effect PCT would've had.
