[QUOTE="Ryan474, post: 231939, member: 44187"] [FONT=Verdana]I am about 3 weeks into a trial of enanthate after having been on cypionate. [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]I have been on cypionate for over 15 years, and settled on twice per week injections the past 5 years or so. I've gotten the cypionate from a number of different compounding pharmacies as well as generics through walgreens. I've always had an issue where periodically, I feel a mild sense of malaise, anxiety, cognitively subpar feeling for about 12-24 hours after the shot. Maybe 25 to 50% of the shots I noticed this. Some days it's worse than others. I tend to be sensitive to a lot of things so this isn't a surprise in the context of my overall constitution.
