I generally feel good when on, but I always have test in the mix.
I also use proviron, which I would recommend for a variety of reasons - it boosts the bang from test and it is a mild anti-e and it has basically no sides.
If you are not taking ANY test, you might try taking a THT amount of test. When I run a short cycle to build tendons, I use a THT level of test (and eq, primo, var, and deca) and I do fine.
I can't take too much test (500 mg is perfect when I am also on another harsh AAS) or I get bad acne, so I understand some of the challenges.
