I’ve been on cream & I do remember getting headaches with that.

I’m also noticing Very similar side effects between cream and prop.

I get a strong motivation/libido surge and feel great shortly after injection. Then 3-4 hours later I crash hard.

I’d bet anything this has to do with DHT. Now I just need to figure out how to keep DHT in that specific range.

Note after I dropped my prop dosage down the headaches went away.
