I've been using Tribulus terrestris roughly 750mg a day cycling 2 weeks on and 1 week off. Now I've been using this roughly 6 months now and I've noticed good results however I plan to stop using it now. I was wondering Since it causes testosterone increases, if I stop taking it would it be like roids? Will I end up losing the muscle due to the drop in testosterone?
Yeah I know I probably shouldve researched this before starting to take it, But I didnt.... OH yes if it matters im 19 years of age roughly 200lbs.

What ever elevated test you have recieved from TT is minimal at best so you really shouldn't see much of a difference maybe a little strength loss.

Well dude, that would make the both of us. Im not sure anyone knows the answer to that quite yet. You will find out though. I love tribulus. Ive taken it on and off for about a year now and so far Im fine. Although I like the brands that have a natural anti estrogen just in case. What brand have you been using. I like the ones with diindolymethane and rodiola rosea in them. Supposed to be no side effects and studies over seas claim that its actually healthy for you. Its a plant, not manmade. I just wouldnt overdo it, although one danger that seems possible may be that it messes with your pituitary gland in your brain. ??Hmmmmn

Nothing bad will happen when you stop the tribulus. Your hormones will return to their normal state they way they were before you took it. If you don't have a testosterone deficiency (and at your age you should not) you should be able to keep any gains you made. If you do have a testosterone deficiency, you have to keep cycling it on and off indefinitely, or go to a doctor and get a prescription for hormone replacement.

The placebo effect will be lost.

ROFL!!! Actually instead of trib products, I think hed be MUCH better off taking something like Gaspari's Novedex-XT, or Rebound-XT once they fix current lot problems.. Or 6-oxo, or Ultra Hot. or Attack. . You know, est inhibitors and test boosters. At least blood tests have shown these really DO boost natural test levels, and their side effects are minimal if at all.Paul E

Yeah, thats pretty much the point i was getting across.
Trib isn't the devil like i made it out to be in my post. It works mostly on the placebo effect. People take it and notice an increase in sex drive and attribute it to increased test levels, then they feel more aggressive and work harder in the gym and it has a nice little trickle down effect over their training and diet "i gotta put this test to work!".
But as far as doing what it says in raising test levels, i've never seen any sort of positive effects on muscle mass from it.Don't Support Companies that are suing me!!
