Tongkat Ali Cycling Schedule?
Original post in this thread

After ruling out everything else I’ve been taking, I found that the 2% 2x/day for the past ~3 weeks has made me gradually more apathetic, lethargic, decreased libido, and somewhat depressed. I definitely felt better the first few days so I want to try and see if I can cycle it to mitigate the negative effects. Does anyone else here cycle it and have found a regiment that works best for them?
Edit: Took a few days off, resumed w/ 25mg DHEA, side effects are gone, and will cycle 5/2 along with DHEA. Low E2 was most likely the culprit.

Ok so I was having the exact same problem! I was taking the 10% once a day and at first it was great! Then slowly depression and anxiety hit, my joints ached, lethargic, crappy mood and my sex drive crashed. After I stopped taking tong kat it went away but I wanted that beginning feeling again. So I listened to another redditor u/solothesensei who suggested I had low E2 and take DHEA. Let me tell you DHEA plus tong Kat is something else! I now take 3-4 days on and 3-4 days off of one tongkat Ali 10% tablet and one 25mg of DHEA. It’s been amazing and I feel it really brings out the best of both things.

Are you taking DHEA every day you take the tongkat now?
